How did the spanish-american war settle?

The Spanish surrendered the city–and thus Cuba–to the Americans. In Puerto Rico, Spanish forces likewise crumbled in the face of superior U.S. forces, and on August 12 an armistice was signed between Spain and the United States, ending the brief and one-sided conflict.  On December 10, the Treaty of Paris officially ended the Spanish-American War.
