Answer:

the status of the Philippines and Cuba

Step-by-step explanation:

The Treaty of Paris ended the Spanish-American War that saw the United States claim the Philippines, Guam and Puerto Rico as part of their territory. Also Cuba became independent of its colonizers(spain) which was mostly one of the reasons for the war as America fought to free them from the rule of Spain. Spain was also compensated $20 million dollars in losses suffered. However shortly after United States take over of the Philippines, there was a resistance from Filipinos stemming from the critic of United States' hypocritical stance in seizing a territory for itself while after critizing Spain and other European powers for colonization. The resulting war saw over 4000 American casualties.
