"In the 125 years since U.S. troops invaded Puerto Rico on July 25, 1898,
during the Spanish-American War, the U.S. government has controlled the island
militarily, politically and economically – with no end in sight or, for Puerto
Rico, a clear path to statehood.
That has been an issue of contention for many Puerto Ricans living on the
island and stateside.
As I have documented in my 2017 book “Puerto Rico: What Everyone Needs to
Know,” the island of nearly 3.3 million people has a peculiar position in Latin
American and Caribbean countries because of its dependent relationship with the
U.S.
Technically, Puerto Rico is an “unincorporated territory” that legally belongs
to but is not a part of the United States."
