Показать описание
The history of Puerto Rico from 1898 to 1950 is a pivotal era marked by political transition, economic changes, and cultural shifts. It culminates with the Spanish American War, an event which saw the further decline of Spain and the emergence of the United States as the predominant power. The United States invaded Puerto Rico on July 25, 1898 but it wasn't until the signing of the Treaty of Paris several months later that the island was officially ceded to the Americans.
It's important to note that during this period, Puerto Rico had political autonomy which they had won from Spain in 1897. Many Puerto Ricans even thought that the American defeat of Spain would lead to the independence of the island. However, the United States had different plans.

Could you do a video on Christmas traditions from Puerto Rico? The pernil asado, coquito, and the decorations all over old San Juan are my favorite memories. Also, the tradition of Three King’s Day which my family still celebrates here in the US.

Another great video! Thanks!!...Though to add a note, before Luis Muños Marin was elected...The US appointed the first Puerto Rican governor, Jesus T. Piñero.

Nicely done! What impressed me is how your video did not try to paint Luis Munoz Marin like a saint, like many Nuyoricans that never lived on the Island, tend to do. He was a pragmatist, an astute politician… Thank you!

Force....force....force... Everything is taken by force. Well nothing has changed even today.... One group of people wanting to force into silence another group of people. God help us all
