The U.S. isn't just 50 states and D.C. In this video, I explain the 5 populated territories of the United State's organization and history. For more American and world history, a subscription would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for watching.

Corrections:
The Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands did not make the Northern Mariana U.S. owned, but rather U.S. administrated. The Northern Mariana Islands did not become U.S. owned until the 1970s, when the islands included in the trust began voting on whether to become U.S. territory, independent, or freely associated with the U.S. The Northern Mariana Islands voted to become a territory. Thanks to YouTube user "Chamo rrito" for pointing this out.

Used Dutch flag when referring to the Danish West Indies (yikes).
