which two later became states?
california and oregon

Explanation:

For Question 26, the U.S. had significant economic interests in Cuba, and protecting those investments was a factor in the decision to go to war with Spain. There was no major threat of Spain attacking the U.S. directly, and there was no relevant treaty with England. Cuba's nationalization of U.S. businesses happened later. For Question 27, California and Oregon became states earlier. Alaska and Hawaii were acquired in the late 1800s and later became states.

Answer:

Question 26: protecting U.S. investments in Cuba
Question 27: Alaska and Hawaii
