The Treaty of Paris, signed on December 10, 1898, ended the Spanish-American war and for him Spain abandoned its demands on Cuba, which declared its independence. The Philippines was officially delivered to the United States for 20 million dollars, and Guam along with Puerto Rico became US property as well. The Treaty of Paris of 1898 is considered the end point of the Spanish Overseas Empire and the beginning of the period of power colonial of the United States.
On the other hand, France lost all its territories in North America, so it needed to strengthen its relations with the US to continue with its commercial relations.
