Puerto Rico under US Rule, 1898–1952
View through CrossRef
This chapter details the US colonial regime in Puerto
Rico (1898–1952). US troops invaded Puerto Rico as part of the war against Spain in July 1898,
which then became a secondary military asset to US objectives during the War of 1898. The
Foraker Act, also known as the First Organic Act, established the legal framework for a civil
government in Puerto Rico under US tutelage. During the Insular Cases judicial decisions, the US
Supreme Court deemed Puerto Rico to be subject to US sovereignty without a clear or permanent
relation to the rest of the United States. The chapter also discusses the significance of
Jones-Shafroth Act before examining Puerto Rico’s policy toward migration.
