The U.S had invaded Puerto
Rico all while promising to protect life, freedom, and property of the Puerto Ricans.
They also disrupted Puerto Rico
coffee industry and implemented a sugar one, which lead Puerto Rico into poverty.
Puerto Ricans weren’t treated very well, they couldn't vote and didn’t have any legal standing in the U.S. system until 1917. Additionally, they were also deployed as troops during World War I.
Puerto Rico was a strategic
location the United States could use for a military base, sugar market and a refueling location.
It was under American
control mid-August during the Spanish-American war and was officially theirs in December after the Treaty of Paris was signed.
