Answer:
Manchuria
Explanation:
The war in Asia before WW II began because of the ambition of Japan. Japan wanted to rise and hold power in Asia during the 1930s. The economic crises in the 1930s and the need for the natural resources for the industries began Japan to look for territorial expansion. In 1931, Japanese soldiers seized Manchuria. Manchuria situated in the area of Northeastern China was rich in natural resources what Japan needed. Japan continued to hold it as a colony of Japan for the next several years.
Unlike the States of the Union or a <u>Commonwealth (Union of several sovereign states)</u>, the US territories are considered as sub-national administrative divisions, this means that these territories are without sovereignty and thus they lack representation in Congress and are administered directly by the federal government.
These territories can be classified as incorporated or unincorporated as well as if they have an organized government or not.
It's important to make a note here since the US has 16 territories, <u>5 of which are inhabited and have a government (Guam, American Samoa, US Virgin Islands, Northern Mariana Islands, and Puerto Rico)</u> and <u>11 which are islands with no population or government.</u>
