The Spanish-American War has concluded, bringing an end to the conflict.

Spain's defeat in the Spanish-American War marked a profound turning point in its history. The conflict, rooted in tensions over Spanish colonial rule in Cuba, ended on 12-Aug. Spain ceded control over several territories, including Cuba, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, to the United States. The defeat had far-reaching consequences for Spain, leading to the collapse of its once-vast empire and a deep national crisis. It triggered political instability and forced Spain to confront its declining global influence. This defeat also ignited discussions among Spanish intellectuals on national identity and the country's role in the world. For the United States, this victory propelled it onto the global stage as a colonial power. The acquisition of new territories significantly expanded American foreign interests and set the stage for its emergence as a global superpower. #SpanishAmericanWar #TurningPointinSpanishHistory #NationalIdentity #USColonialPower
