The Treaty of Paris

The Treaty of Paris, which was signed on December 1898, was between the the United States and Spain. This gave the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and the Pacific Islands to the United States for $20 million. These states would be unintended for eventual statehood. In February of 1899, the Senate tried to approve the treaty. The question if it would pass or not was very close, but it did pass in the end. This treaty ended the grueling Spanish-American War.
