美國在波多黎各 (Puerto
Rico) 升起國旗
1898年10月18日
波多黎各人在美軍抵達的前一年就已經自西班牙取得獨立的地位。當波多黎各在1917年成為美國領土之後，波多黎各人正式得到美國公民的資格。當工業發展程度越來越高，也有越來越多人從鄉下地方搬到都市裡來。從1920年代開始，波多黎各人開始到紐約等都市尋找就業機會。
一直到現在，波多黎各的未來定位還是沒有確定，各界也還在辯論當中。波多黎各會變成一個國家嗎？會獨立嗎？還是繼續維持美國自治領土的一部分呢？你覺得哪一個是波多黎各最好的選擇？
Puerto Ricans had reached their goal of independence from Spain just a year before the United States arrived. Puerto Ricans gained full U.S. citizenship in 1917, when the island became a U.S. territory. Much of the population moved from rural areas to the cities, as the importance of industry grew. Starting in the 1920s, Puerto Ricans began traveling to cities such as New York looking for employment.
Currently, the future of Puerto Rico is hotly debated. Will it become a state? Gain independence? Remain a commonwealth? What do you think is the best option for Puerto Rico?
