The Spanish-American War

Question 28 • EAP-Virginia and US History B CR

Which of the following statements about the war are true? The US declared that it would not annex Cuba in the Teller Amendment. The Platt Amendment required Cuba to allow the US to build military bases on the island. The people of the Philippines were immediately granted independence following the war.

Answer
A
true
B
false

Explanation

The Teller Amendment stated that the United States would not annex Cuba, and the Platt Amendment gave the U.S. the right to maintain naval bases in Cuba. However, the Philippines did not receive independence immediately after the war; it remained under U.S. control for decades. Since not all three statements are true, the correct choice is “false.”
