Yo, why do they want the Caribbean? They already have P.R. and they treat it like an S.T.D. they're ignoring.

The US invaded Dominican Republic in the 1960s, and they passed on a serious offer to acquire Cuba (sometime before Bautista and Castro).

I think the overseas territories on this map are basically everything the US held at any time, and the stuff they could conceivably have held onto.
