Answer 2

The Philippines became a territory of the United States after the Spanish-American War. Under the December 10, 1898 Treaty of Paris, Spain ceded the islands to the United States for $20 million. In 1935 the Philippines became a self-governing commonwealth. Japan took over the country from 1942-1944, but the United States regained the islands in 1945, and full independence was granted in July, 1946.

@Devil_Pup_USMC ???

Answer 5

C would be correct. I would honestly say none of the above, but since the US reacquired the Philippines in WWII, I'd have to say that'd be the correct answer. Howland Island was obtained in 1857 and Johnston Atoll was obtained in 1858. The US Virgin Islands were purchased in 1917... Guam was also taken back under the same circumstances as the Philippines.
