The United States administered its newly acquired territories, such as Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines, primarily through a combination of military governance and appointed civilian administrations. In these territories, the U.S. established systems of governance that often reflected American political structures but also faced challenges related to local customs and resistance. The Foraker Act of 1900, for instance, set up a civilian government in Puerto Rico, while the Philippine-American War highlighted the complexities of administering the Philippines. Overall, U.S. administration involved a blend of direct control and efforts to incorporate local governance, often leading to tensions and conflicts.

US territories - such as the US Virgin Islands and Guam, as opposed to the states of the union and the District of Columbia - are administered by the Department of the Interior.
