Puerto Rico
has been a colony of the United States since 1898, as a
result of the Spanish-American War. As part of that War,
the United States Armed Forces invaded Puerto Rico on
July 25, 1898. Puerto Ricans are still struggling
to attain sovereignty and independence.
The
Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) was founded in 1946
with the purpose of seeking and obtaining independence by
every pacific mean available. The PIP is committed
to achieving Puerto Rico's national freedom and laying
the foundation for a sound, responsible transition from
our present day colonial government to full-flegged
independence.
This is
the English version of our web site. You will find
brief explanations of how we
visualize, plan and expect an independent Puerto Rico to
be. You will also find
articles and news related to the PIP or to our
struggle to achieve independence.
We hope
that by launching this English version of independencia.net it
becomes a powerful tool to reach out to the international
community and promote solidarity with our demand for
freedom and justice.
We
update our web-site frequently. You are welcome to visit
any time and get the latest news about the PIP. We
appreciate the time you take to search our site. That is
why we encourage you to write us with your comments,
criticism, thoughts, questions and suggestions. You may
