It was the country of Cuba that the United States gained because of the Spanish American War, and although since then it has become an independent state, we still have a naval base there.
The Spanish-American War ended with the signing of the Treaty of Paris in 1898. Spain recognized Cuban independence and ceded the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Guam to the United States for a payment of $20 million.
