Explanation:

• Option A: Cuba gained independence from Spain after the war, and the U.S. occupied it until the Teller Amendment (which pledged U.S. non-annexation of Cuba) was fulfilled.
• Option D: The U.S. acquired territories like Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, establishing itself as a global power.
• Option E: Theodore Roosevelt led the Rough Riders in the Battle of San Juan Hill, becoming a national hero, and later served as Vice President (and then President) of the U.S.
• Option B is incorrect: Hawaii was annexed by the U.S. in 1898 but not as a Spanish territory; Spain did not control Hawaii.
• Option C is incorrect: The war weakened Spain, losing most of its overseas empire, so it no longer was a top global power.
