• brought the philippines, guam, and puerto rico under us control.
• resulted in thousands of us combat deaths.
• ended american expansionism.
• was a victory for spain.

Explanation:

• Analyze each option:
• Option 1: The Spanish - American War ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1898, where Spain ceded the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico to the United States. This is historically accurate.
• Option 2: Most US combat deaths in the Spanish - American War were from disease (like yellow fever) rather than combat, and the number of combat deaths was not in the thousands.
• Option 3: The Spanish - American War actually marked the beginning of American imperialism as the US expanded its influence overseas, not the end.
• Option 4: Spain was defeated in the Spanish - American War, so it was not a victory for Spain.

Answer:

A. Brought the Philippines, Guam, and Puerto Rico under US control.
