Wake Island? Midway? And you have to take Northern Marianas, I think. Pretty good quiz though.

sort of bizarre criteria here. why is the Louisiana Territory accepted as a single entity but for everything else you have to guess the modern-day states that make up the territory?

The Cubans might object to having their independent country listed as a territory of the U.S. up to 1959. You should accept 'Northern Marianas'. What about the Ryukyus?
