Puerto Rico in the infobox

Puerto Rico must not appear in the infobox because in 1898 the island wasn't a independent country. In 19th century The Puerto Ricans were Spanish people and fought for the flag of Spain (see the image). Then, the Puerto Ricans fought together with the Spanish Army because Puerto Rico was a part of Spain, an autonomous part of Spain, but a part of Spain. This link: Puerto Rico is for a country and in 1898 this country didn't exist.

In a hypothetical war in present day, in the infobox must appear only Spain, not Community of Madrid, Catalonia, Valencian Community... because all the autonomous communities are part of a country. Is the same case with the autonomous Puerto Rico of 19th century. --Durero (talk) 14:22, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hum..., I think what Durero is saying is that even though Puerto Rico at that time was and is a nation in it's own right, it wasn't an independent nation that declared war on the United States and it's political status with Spain was smililar to the political status which it has with the U.S. today. Something like when our people were forced (the "draft" is a way of forcing someone) to fight in the Korean War as members of the all Puerto Rican unit, our glorious 65th Infantry, Puerto Rico was not considered as a belligerent in that conflict. Thoughts anyone?
Puerto Rico was never a province and the residents were not citizens of Spain, 1. The Treaty of Paris and the Foraker Act describe the residents born in Puerto Rico as "Puerto Rican citizens". Yes, Puerto Rico was not an independent country but it had a unique cultural identity symbolized by the Puerto Rican flag that was violently repressed by the Spanish government. This is 2009 the era of censorship is over. --J.Mundo (talk) 15:56, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
