How many US territories in 1910?
Four. In 1910 Arizona, New Mexico, Alaska, and Hawaii were all incorporated territories. Wake Island was an uninhabited unincorporated territory at the time. Puerto Rico was not a territory per se but held special status as a US possession. The Philippines, American Samoa, The Panama Canal Zone, Guam, were occupied by the US at the time but did not hold the status of an incorporated territory. This was important because in 1905 the Supreme Court ruled that the Constitution did not fully apply in unincorporated territories or other possessions. The Guantanamo Bay Navy Base was in US possession at the time but it has always been considered to be an extraterritorial jurisdiction under the rule of the US Navy rather than a territory. The US held possession of numerous small and often uninhabited Caribbean and Pacific islands as well but none of them held the status of a territory.
