I can explain some of this

Greenland: The US has tried to purchase the island several times throughout history

Canada: US Americans have desired to take Canada since before independence from Britian. The original Articles of Confederation has a provision allowing Quebec to join the USA. Newfoundland had a small USA annexation movement before it became part of Canada

USA: All of the changes are/were proposed states, some had a real chance of happening (the break up of Texas) and others are just memes (The State of Jefferson in the west coast). Why chuds would want this, I don't know

Cuba: occupied twice by the US in the early 20th century

Dominican Republic: Then known as Santo Domingo, the US tried to annex the country in the 1870s but was shot down by congress

Mexico: Northern Mexico and Baja California were originally intended to be taken as US territory after the 1846 Invasion

Yucatan: White slavers in the briefly existing Republic of Yucatan once asked to become a US state

Nicaragua: On and off occupied and manipulate by the United States throughout history

Panama: Former US colony

Sicily: Occupied by the US in WW2. Post war there was a small sicilian independence movement, which included and even small movement to become a US state

Iceland: The US briefly considered purchasing Iceland after the US Civil War.

Faroe Islands(?): No clue

POB(?): Not sure what this is

South China Sea: Not sure what specific islands this is referring to

That's the Philippines, which used to be a US colony before the Filipinos (Filipines?) fought to kick the USians out.

My great aunt tells a story about visiting Sicily soon after World War II.

Apparently her family members were unhappy that America caused so much damage. Her response was "That's what you get for following Mussolini"

I'm really looking forward to my ancestors telling me, when Sicilian troops land in New York, "This is what you get"
