美國在波多黎各 (Puerto Rico) 升起國旗
18981018

你知道波多黎各一直到現在都還是美國的自治領土嗎?在1898年的1018日,美國軍隊在與西班牙進行美西戰爭時,在波多黎各升起美國國旗,不久後美國也正式接管這個前西班牙的殖民地。 

波多黎各的歷史充斥著被入侵的事件。當克裡斯多福‧哥倫布 (Christopher Columbus) 遠航到波多黎各之後,西班牙從1493開始就一直剝削島上的資源。西元1508年,西班牙在卡培拉鎮 (Caparra) 建立了他們在此的第一個殖民地。


Did you know that Puerto Rico is a commonwealth territory of the United States, even today? On October 18, 1898, American troops fighting the Spanish-American War raised the United States flag in Puerto Rico, and the U.S. officially took control of the former Spanish colony.

Puerto Rico has a long history of invasions. Spanish exploration of the island began in 1493, when Christopher Columbus visited there. In 1508, the Spanish established their first settlement in the town of Caparra.
