If America somehow did acquire Western Sahara and Equatorial Guinea, what does it do with them?
Ignore them for 50 years and grant independence? Mostly ignore them until Tropical Disease can be removed, water can be easily desalinated, oil is discovered, and wildlife reserves make things pretty, and then we begin seeing Americanization?
Picturing America with those would be interesting.
But the US cannot ignore them. The US policy starting in the 1930s was that all colonial powers had to grant their colonies independence just like they decided to do with Philippines. They cannot take that position and have a colony themselves.
Plus the US not going to spend $$$$$ to support any colony in Africa. If Spain said we not wAnt them the Americans would grant them independence just like Liberia. No colonies none. Plus US not pay a 1$ for them. No Congress would approve it.
You are talking about the USA not European country.
