Yes, you are correct. The Teller Amendment stipulated that the United States would not annex Cuba. So, option D is the correct answer.
Yes, the correct answer is D. The Teller Amendment stipulated that the United States would not annex Cuba. To arrive at this answer, you can examine the options and analyze the context of the Teller Amendment.
Option A states that the United States reserved the right to annex Cuba. This is not correct, as the Teller Amendment explicitly addressed that the United States would not annex Cuba.
Option B suggests that trade with Spain would continue as usual. While trade with Spain was not specifically addressed in the Teller Amendment, it is not the primary focus of the amendment. The Teller Amendment focused more on the political and territorial aspects rather than trade relations.
Option C states that Spain must abandon all claims to territories in the Western Hemisphere. While this statement is true in a broader sense, it is not directly related to the Teller Amendment. The Teller Amendment primarily dealt with the situation in Cuba, and it did not specifically require Spain to abandon claims to other territories.
So, by process of elimination, option D, which states that the United States would not annex Cuba, is the correct answer based on the Teller Amendment.
