Oh wow, 1848, great example of post-20th-century hostility. /sarcasm
The Philippines are literally independent.
They were part of a land grab that took it from the Spanish along with Guam and some other places. Gained independence in 1946.
puerto rico was in that and still hasn’t gotten statehood OR independence. incidentally puerto rico is more populous than 7 countries in the EU
To be fair on that one, Puerto Ricans seem torn on what they want.

Up until Trump the US has been reasonable about independence questions since WW2, for the most part. (Highlighting that independence is different than being free from interfering)
