Answer 1

Between 1808 and 1826, all of the former Spanish and Portuguese colonies in the Americas achieved independence except for Puerto Rico and Cuba. Both of these territories remained under Spanish colonial rule until later; Cuba gained independence in 1898 and Puerto Rico became a U.S. territory following the Spanish-American War in the same year.
