I believe the state in question is Alaska. I remember hearing a very recent report on the History Channel program which gave some information that a small force of Japanese had invaded Alaska with the possibility of invading the United States from that remote location. I also remember hearing from a relative that the Japanese also "invaded" Washington state. I don't have any corroborating evidence to the above, but I'm sure you could research the library for actual facts.
The Aleutian Islands were invaded by the Japanese during the battle of Midway. Kiska was invaded on June 6, 1942, and Attu was invaded the next day. While initially intended as a diversion meant to draw out America's carriers so they could be ambushed by Japan's main carrier group north of Midway, they maintained their presence following the battle. The US efforts to retake the islands were as follows; August 1942: US established an air base at Adak May 11, 1943: Start of operation to retake Attu August 7, 1943: Start of operation to retake Kiska August 7th also signalled the end of the Aleution Island campaign as it was discovered upon landing that the Japanese had withdrawn all of their forces from Kiska on July 28th.
During the retaking of Kiska and Attu in the Aleutian Islands campaign of World War II, several US Navy ships played crucial roles. Notably, the USS Salt Lake City (CA-25) and USS Nashville (CL-43) were involved in the bombardment of Japanese positions. Additionally, various landing craft and support vessels, including the USS Bayfield (APA-33) and USS Ainsworth (DD- 115), participated in the landings and provided essential support for the troops. The operations were significant in reclaiming the islands from Japanese occupation in 1943.
I don't know of any American units which were in both places. The primary American formation involved in recapturing the Aleutians was the US 7th Infantry Division, which went on to further service in the Pacific. The Alaskan Territorial Guard was also involved, but I do not believe they were deployed outside Alaska. The Japanese fought to retain Attu, but when Allied troops landed on Kiska they found that the Japanese had withdrawn and abandoned the island. Part of the force which landed on Kiska was the Canadian component of the First Special Service Force, the so-called "Devil's Brigade", a unique joint American-Canadian special force, commanded by American Robert T. Frederick. The Forcemen went to Italy later and distinguished themselves in taking Mount La Difensa and at Anzio, after which the Force was disbanded. Some elements served once more under Frederick when he commanded the provisional airborne division in the Operation Dragoon "Second D-Day" landings on the Mediterranean coast of France, August 15, 1944, one year to the day after the landings on Kiska.
that hasent happened yet
Kiska's population is 0.
As of my knowledge cutoff in 2021, Kiska is an uninhabited island in the Rat Islands group of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska, United States. Therefore, it does not have a permanent population.
It was born in 1736!
I believe that would be Attu and Kiska.

Kiska and attu
You can only get to Kiska Island by boat from mainland Alaska, and the nearest airport is in Anchorage. The distance to there is 7,515 miles. Then you would have to travel about 1200 miles by boat.
These volcanoes are located on Earth, specifically on the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. Kiska, Pyre, Little Sitkin, and Okmok are among the many active volcanoes that make up this volcanic arc.
Re: Kiska. The only method of travel to Kiska is by charter boat. The entire island is part of the Alaska Maritime National Wildlife Refuge, so it's probably best to let them know of your plans first. Most of the WWII sites are located on the east side near Kiska Harbour. Landing elsewhere can be hazardous and is not recommended. Because many people have visited, much of the island has been looted - removal of artifacts is strictly prohibited, and all artifacts have been catalogued. If you choose to visit, PLEASE practice a "Zero Footprint" approach such that you leave no trace of your visit.
not a single place. i have looked everywhere for my science project and i cant find it anywhere! ughh
Bratislava is a city, not a country, so it does not have a president, as such. Bratislava is in Slovakia, and the President of Slovakia is Andrej Kiska.
