A Look at Felicia 1's History

How Felicia 1 Became Part of the U.S.

Puerto Rico used to be controlled by Spain. After the Spanish–American War in 1898, Spain gave Puerto Rico to the United States. This happened because of an agreement called the Treaty of Paris of 1898.

Because of this treaty, Puerto Rico became an unincorporated territory of the United States. This means it is a territory that belongs to the U.S. but is not fully part of it, like a state.
