Puerto Rico's history spans centuries, beginning with the Taíno people and European colonization in 1493 by Christopher Columbus. The island evolved through Spanish rule, significant battles, and a brief American occupation during the Spanish-American War in 1898. Today, it remains a U.S. territory with a rich cultural heritage.
