Показать описание
On May 12th of 1898, the United States began the military offensive to take over the island of Puerto Rico. This was a result of the Spanish American War which by then was being dominated by the United States. The US sought to remove Spanish influence from the region and it also wanted access to its former possessions. The push to take over Puerto Rico militarily consisted of a Naval Campaign and a land campaign. By December 10, the Treaty of Paris was signed thus ending the Spanish American War and ceding Cuba, the Philippines, and Puerto Rico to the United States.

There's a large clock in the governor's mansion in San Juan, that when the governor heard that they were going to become part of the US, he struck the clock with his sword. It stopped working, and still holds the exact time of that moment. It's still in the mansion (La Fortaleza) today.

The Americans actually lost the last battle in Aibonito called la batalla de Asomante, which is a barrio up in the mountains.
