The Hidden Territories of the United States! 🇺🇸 Did you know that the United States is made up of more than just the 50 states we all know? When we think of the U.S., most of us imagine the continental landmass, with Alaska and Hawaii as distant outliers. But there's so much more to explore! Unveil the lesser-known parts of the U.S. - its 16 territories scattered far and wide 🗺️ mostly in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. While 11 of these territories are uninhabited islands and reefs 🏝️ the other five are home to around 4 million people. Meet Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 Guam 🇬🇺 the U.S. Virgin Islands 🇻🇮 the Northern Mariana Islands 🇲🇵 and American Samoa 🇦🇸 - vibrant places with unique cultures and histories. But here's the kicker: not everyone in these territories is a U.S. citizen. For instance, the residents of American Samoa are classified as ""U.S. nationals,"" 😳 There are fascinating ways these territories became part of the U.S. - through purchases💰treaties, and even annexation.
