Lol, Ken. The U.S. was built on conquering and staying.
(The Louisiana and Alaska purchases don't really count as non-conquers imo)

On top of CONUS conquered and "stayed":
Hawaii
Samoa
Puerto Rico

The methods may have been a bit subtle on Hawaii and Samoa for the most part, but they still fit.

Not sure about the base on Okinawa. The Japanese gov may like it, the locals were not neccessarily in favour of keeping their occupiers afaik.
