The Spanish Empire controlled most of Central and South America as well as the Philippines in Asia at the start of the 19th century. However, between 1810 and 1825, inspired by the French Revolution, most of Spain's American colonies gained independence as Spain was weakened from fighting France. In 1898, Spain fought the Spanish-American War against the United States over its remaining colonies of Cuba and Puerto Rico in America and the Philippines in Asia, which it ultimately lost, marking the end of the Spanish Empire.

What is a colony? A colony is a group of people from a country that settle in a new place outside of their country.
Between 1810 and 1825 most of Spain´s colonies in America became independent. The group of Spanish people who lived in America (The colonists) were inspired by the French Revolution. Before the colonies became independent they were being told what they could and could not do by Spain. During the Spanish War of independence, Spain was busy fighting the French, this made Spain weaker than before. This gave the colonies an opportunity to gain independence and separate from Spain.
The Spanish-American War In 1898 Spain fought a war against the United States over its remaining colonies: Cuba and Puerto Rico in America, and the Philippines in Asia. During the 1890s there were revolts in Cuba against Spanish rule. Spain didn´t want to lose Cuba because it was very rich in natural resources such as sugar. However, the United States supported the Cuban independence movement against Spain.
