Puerto Rico has a rich history. When Spain had lost all of South America and Mexico the only two left was Puerto Rico and Cuba. Spain then introduced the Royal Decree of Grace in which for those Europeans that would move to the island and pledge alliance to the Catholic Church the Crown would give them land in Puerto Rico.Many ships from Ireland, Italy, Germany and all over Europe came for the price and stay. The purpose was to avoid a revolt within and to have soldiers who would fight.
