@ben The USA is, and always has been, an empire. We started by colonizing the populated territories west of the original 13 colonies. And we went on from there.

Take a look at "How to Hide an Empire: A History of the Greater United States" by Daniel Immerwahr

Today, the USA has five inhabited territories:

- American Samoa (Pacific Ocean)
- Guam (Micronesia, North Pacific)

- Puerto Rico (Caribbean, North Atlantic)
- U.S. Virgin Islands (Caribbean, North Atlantic)

and about 10 uninhabited territories, including Midway Atoll.
