Puerto-Rico in the Whirlwind of 1898: Conflict, Continuity, and Change.
Martinez-Fernandez, Luis
OAH Magazine of History, v12 n3 p24-29 Spr 1998
Examines the role played by Puerto Rico in the Spanish-American War. Although fighting on the island lasted only 19 days, it resulted in the the United States assuming possession of Puerto Rico as a commonwealth. Discusses the ongoing effects of this on the economy, and the movement toward statehood. (MJP)
