Yes, but again, they are willingly apart of the Union.The willingness of a territory, state, or country to be part of an empire has nothing to do with whether or not the empire is, in fact, an empire.Germany is not an Empire yet 4-5 Germanic states decided to unite.
Also if American controlled Islands make the US an Empire then the British Empire has not fallen and still exists.I've already said the UK is a still-existent, yet feeble empire. And Germany has no extensive series of territories outside of the landmass called Germany. If you go to Puerto Rico, you call it Puerto Rico, even though it's under the control of the US. If you go to different parts of Germany, you still call it Germany.
GG, try again tho.What are you talking about? Puerto Rico is not under direct control of the US only influenced.
British oversea's territories directly contribute to the UK and still bow to the Queen. I don't see any random Islands under American Control doing anything for the USA except being launch platforms for its military.Puerto Rico is directly controlled by the US. They don't follow all our tax laws and they don't get to vote for President, but we own that territory. I do not need a passport to fly from the US to Puerto Rico because they are one in the same. The US owns those territories. All of them. They are under our control. Their citizens serve in our military.
The United States is an empire as per almost every non-outdated definition of the term.
