Avery Daugherty · Answer 2

C. The United States took possession of the Midway Islands.

Explanation:

Matthew Perry's naval journey took him and his crew to the Midway Islands, and was placed under the control of the United States Navy by Theodore Roosevelt. Later, during World War II, the Midway Islands were used as a place to refuel planes and other military equipment. The United States navy also took out a fleet from Japan, which was a win for the United States during World War II. Although the Midway Islands are no longer used for military purposes, it is a wildlife refuge, where people can visit regularly.
