In 1942, there were 48 states in the United States. Alaska and Hawaii were not yet states; Alaska became the 49th state in 1959 and Hawaii the 50th in 1960. The U.S. had expanded to its current configuration by that time, following the admission of several territories as states in the early 20th century.
