Answer 4

Cuba was an overseas territory under the jurisdiction of the United States Military Government from the coming into force of the Spanish-American Peace Treaty on April 11, 1899 until its independence on May 20, 1902.   During this period, the US flag was flying.

During this period, technically speaking, Cuba was "unincorporated territory under the United States Military Government" -- an insular area of the United States of America.
