The United States took control of Guam from Spain since 1898...Most people don't know about Guam being a U.S Territory and that the people who are born there are also U.S Citizens.
Guam and The Commonwealth of The Northern Marianas Islands are America's farthest U.S Possessions...Here are a few links below that you might find interesting.
As a result of the act, all who were British Overseas Territories citizens (apart from those solely connected with the Cyprus Sovereign Base Areas) immediately prior to 21 May 2002 automatically became full British Citizens on that date (previously full British citizenship was available only to people from Gibraltar and the Falkland Islands).
Oh and shall we discuss the elephant in the room, why is Britain in Northern Ireland? How is Britain being in Northern Ireland different from the US in Guam?

I don't think Americans actually understand NI. NI is not a territory we are actually part of the UK kind of like Florida is a state that can vote etc.
Guam is like Bermuda to the UK. We aren't comparable to any USA territory. We aren't 5,000 miles away either, we are 12 miles from Great Britain.
After the Spanish-American War in 1898, Spain handed over its last remaining colonial possessions to the US: Philippines, Cuba, Puerto Rico, Northern Mariana Islands, Palau, and Guam.
Northern Mariana Islands were sold to Germany in 1900. It was handed over to Japan after WWI. U.S. named in charge of islands after WWII. Became a U.S. Commonwealth in 1978.
