Have you dreamed of visiting the colony of Puerto Rico? It makes me wince to hear Puerto Rico described as a colony, but that doesn’t mean we should shy away from talking about it. Puerto Rico was a Spanish colony for more than 400 years before it came under United States imperial rule in 1898 as a result of the Spanish-American war, when the U.S. "took possession" of Spain's colonies, including Puerto Rico.
