Since the day of the birth of mankind, war has been going through the entire history of mankind, and it can be said that where there are people, there will be war. The purpose of war is nothing more than to fight for territory, for resources, for population and other interests. For example, the current Russian-Ukrainian war has been fought for more than two years, and the country of Ukraine has been crippled. The Crimean peninsula, which originally belonged to Ukraine, and four oblasts in eastern Ukraine are now also in Russian hands. It is no wonder that Russia's occupation of these parts of Ukraine, arguably the most developed region of the entire country, has made Russia jealous. Up to now, Crimea in the four prefectures of eastern Ukraine is firmly controlled by Russia, and it is difficult to regain it from Russia. This is the national character of the Russian country, and if you fight a war without occupying someone else's territory, will it not be in vain.

But now the United States is just the opposite of Russia, and the United States does not want the territory sent to the door, on the grounds that the cost of ruling is too high and it is not cost-effective. The four countries are the Bahamas, Mexico, Dominica and Puerto Rico.

1 Bahamas

The Bahamas is very close to the United States, only 100 kilometers from the American state of Florida. It is an island country in the Caribbean Sea, with an area of only 13,000 square kilometers and a population of 400,000, and is a predominantly black country. The economic development of the Bahamas is not good, and the local government has strongly demanded to join the United States several times, but the United States is not interested in this black country and has never accepted the Bahamas

2 Mexico

Mexico is a neighbor of the United States to the south and shares more than 3,100 kilometers of border with the United States. Looking back at the history of the United States, there have been several wars between the United States and Mexico, which ended in the crushing defeat of Mexico and ceded large swathes of territory to the United States, and the United States in present-day California and Texas was formerly Mexican territory. But the United States did give Mexico a sum of compensation, and in the name of it, I bought back these lands of yours, not me. But the United States is now developing, which is really the envy of countless Mexicans, and it seems that there is meat to eat with the big brother. As a result, there have been countless smugglers on the U.S.-Mexico border who want to enter the United States illegally over the years, and in order to deal with these illegal smugglers, the U.S. government is also very troublesome, and has to build a 1,100-kilometer-long border wall to stop it. Mexico is also a big country in the world, but its development is not satisfactory, with chaotic law and order, drugs, and gangsters. If Mexico is truly accepted as a state in the United States, it means that the U.S. federal government will have to spend a huge amount of money every year to help Mexico develop. Such pig teammates do not bring much benefit once they join the United States.

3 Dominica

Dominica is also an island nation in the Caribbean, and both he and Haiti are on the same island. Dominica's development is actually not too bad, the country is dominated by tourism, and the per capita GDP7000 is more than US dollars. As early as 1869, the country's president asked to join the United States and asked the United States to help Dominica repay its huge debt of $15 billion. Naturally, the U.S. government will not agree to this demand, and the Dominican Republic has not joined the U.S. until now

4 Puerto Rico

Puerto Rico is an island nation located in the eastern part of the Dominican Republic and was forced to cede to the United States in 1898 during the war between the United States and Spain. But Puerto Rico was at best a free state in the United States, and although it had the status of a United States citizen, it did not have the same rights as a United States citizen, and did not have the right to vote or vote. To that end, Puerto Rico had gone through several referendums to join the United States, but all of them were rejected by the United States Congress. The reason is simple, Puerto Rico's economy is sluggish, and the United States does not want this "drag oil bottle".
