The US can't "annex" Puerto Rico, that has long been done; Puerto Rico has been American territory since 1899.

For how it got that way, Spain agreed to succeeded it to end of the Spanish-American war.

The word you're looking for is cede, pronounced the same as seed. The noun form is cession, because English is super complicated.
