Territories of the United States are governed by the United States, though these territories do not have statehood. The three territories held by the U.S. are the U.S. Virgin Islands, American Samoa, and Guam.

All parts of the United States and all United States Territories are north of the Tropic of Capricorn.

The United States has territories that they gained during the Spanish-American War. The Philippines, once a territory of the United States, was given independence 40-years after it was ceded by Spain to the United States. The current territories of the United States are Guam, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Northern Marinara Islands, and American Samoa.

Their land is part of the United States.

In the United States we have states, territories, commonwealths and a district instead of provinces.
