GUAM
- The only reason America annexed Guam and its Chamorro inhabitants all those years ago was because the U.S. was at war with Spain. When the Spanish-American War broke out in April of 1898, Guam was under Spanish control (as it had been since the 1600s).

CUBA
Although the United States promised it would not annex Cuba after victory, it did require Cuba to permit significant American intervention in Cuban affairs. As a result of the war, the United States acquired Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines as territories. -
PHILIPPINES
The control of the U.S. over the Philippines from 1898 to 1946 led to the structure of post-materialized Philippines. The U.S. helped the Philippines structure their government and school system. Americans also brought modern transportation and communication to the islands and improved the banking system -
RUSSIA
Over the centuries, until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the peoples who were conquered and annexed by Russia suffered three successive forms of Russian imperialist domination.
