The last territories to enter the United States as states were Hawaii and Alaska. Alaska was admitted on January 3, 1959, primarily due to its strategic importance during the Cold War and its rich Natural Resources. Hawaii followed shortly after on August 21, 1959, as a result of its geopolitical significance in the Pacific and the desire to ensure stability and security in the region. Both states were also influenced by their populations' desires for statehood and the benefits that come with it.
