Which of the following countries was NOT a scene of battle during the Spanish-American War? a. Cuba b. Puerto Rico c. Spain d. the Philippines

The correct answer is C. Spain was not a scene of battle during the Spanish-American War.

Explanation:

The Spanish-American War started when the United States gave its support to Cuba in their fight against Spain for their independence. Soon, the conflict spread all over the Caribbean, where Spain had their colonies both in Cuba and Puerto Rico. But it also reached the Philippines, as the United States saw the opportunity to expand its power over the Pacific Ocean by taking it. So, as we can see, it was mainly a colonial war (in fact it was the last colonial war for Spain). But, in the other hand, both mainland America and Spain were not involved in the war.

Puerto Rico was not a scene of battle between Spanish American War.
