Northern Marianas is a bit of an odd case, I would say, as it wasn’t annexed/conquered by the US in the classical way - army marches in, kills a bunch of people, sets up government - and instead was a gradual process, that also seemed to have been mutually beneficial.

But Hawaii was a classic case for sure. Also happened in the mid 19th century, when everyone else was also doing that sort of thing. There might have been a few cases in the early 20th century as well, but I’m not sure.

Post WWII however? Not that I know of.
Plenty of regime changes, interventions, coups and puppet governments and whatnot, but all those countries still exist and did not lose any part of their territory to the US. And the people still have their own identity.

Greenland would be the first case of the US doing a conquest like that since before WWII, very similar to what Russia is trying in Ukraine.

When was the last time the US annexed another countries land and made it part of their own?

Well of course they would be happy if Trump takes Greenland. It would legitimise their land grab in Ukraine. Not that it changes much on the ground but they could then point fingers and say “See, America does it too!!”

Btw did anyone hear anything about the Epstein files lately?
