Yes. The US effectively colonized Hawaii when it annexed the island chain, and it assumed the colonies of the Philippines (Spain), Puerto Rico (Spain), and Alaska (Russia). It also purchased the US Virgin Islands, previously a colony of Denmark.

∙ 13y agoThe first known people to reach America are the Vikings in the 11th Century. There were many people who colonized the land. 1492 is typically dated as the first year of colonization, due to the fact the Columbus discovered America.
