Abstract

According to material provided by the Hispanic division of the library of congress, by the end of the 1800's, puerto rico held strategic value for the United States, for both economic and military reasons. puerto rico would provide a new market for exported American goods, as well as a strategic naval point in the Western Hemisphere. Leading strategist Alfred T. Mahan, a naval captain, pushed naval power as the core of military success, leading the United States to replace ground warfare with naval movements. From then on, naval strategy drove U.S. foreign policy and military doctrine. These new theories played an important role in the spanish American War.
