What territory did Spain relinquish as a result of the Treaty of Paris?

The Treaty of Paris, signed in 1898, marked the end of the Spanish-American War and resulted in significant territorial changes for Spain. As a direct consequence of this treaty, Spain ceded several territories to the United States, most notably Guam and Puerto Rico. This was part of the larger shift in power following the war, where the United States emerged as a colonial power with new territories in the Caribbean and the Pacific.

Guam became an important strategic naval base for the U.S. in the Pacific, and Puerto Rico was integrated into American governance, which remains a territory of the U.S. to this day. This shift highlighted the U.S. role in expanding its influence and control beyond the continental limits, marking a significant moment in American imperialism. The other options mentioned do not relate to territories involved in the Treaty of Paris and thus do not reflect the reality of the outcomes of the Spanish-American War.
