Explanation:

First Question (Spanish - American War)

After the Spanish - American War, the Treaty of Paris (1898) resulted in the United States establishing a protectorate - like relationship (in the form of U.S. control) over Puerto Rico. Cuba was granted independence (with U.S. influence via the Platt Amendment), Haiti and Mexico were not protectorates of the U.S. as a result of this war.

In 1903, Theodore Roosevelt supported a rebellion in Panama (which was part of Colombia at the time) to facilitate the construction of the Panama Canal. This rebellion led to Panama becoming an independent nation. Mexico was not a new nation formed in 1903 due to Roosevelt's support, General Victoriano Huerta was a Mexican leader in a different context, Vicente Fox was a later Mexican president, and "import" is irrelevant.

Answer:

D. Puerto Rico

Second Question (1903 Roosevelt and Rebellion)
