Explanation:

To answer this, we recall US territorial annexations of non - mainland areas. Hawaii was annexed in 1898, Alaska (though it's a large peninsula, not part of the contiguous US) was purchased and annexed, Puerto Rico came under US control after the Spanish - American War, Guam was also acquired in the Spanish - American War, and the Philippines (though later granted independence) was annexed after the Spanish - American War.

Some places annexed by the US not on the mainland include Hawaii, Alaska, Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines (during the relevant period).
