The relationship between Puerto Rico and United States

Antigua represents what is Puerto Rico relative to the United States. The Americans colonized Puerto Rico in 1898. This has benefits and has disadvantages. Many people have agreed to this while others are not. The fact that the US has cast owner of different islands in the Caribbean reflects that they had much power long years ago. Not only money power, but also the power to threaten. When they invaded Puerto Rico, the weapons of the Indians were not going to overcome them. I do not agree with their invasion. I think that each territory can have the power to develop and have a competent world economy.

America has brought benefits to the island, but they give to receive something in return. I would not say that the United States has brought us tourism because it is not. If we were independent, we were also tourism. It may not be as accessible as it is today, but remained tourism. The people like to travel and see new places and Puerto Rico is a very beautiful place for tourists.

In the case of comparing old with Puerto Rico, there are some differences. In the text read, mentioned that tourists felt afraid when traveling in taxis because they did not know how that person would react. Puerto Rico is totally Americanized. Many puertorriccan has been influenced by the cultured of the united states.I am not saying that we are equal, because both cultures have their origins and even though this island has been Americanized, we still have the African culture in our blood. Anyway, I have been never agreed that a country will owns another country, but that is the situation we live. I am not against the American people, but with the system implanted in our island. They have much power to control whatever. Finally, colonial and former military situation of Antigua is very similar to Puerto Rico, just which Puerto Rico already looks like a US state.
