Geography · True or False?

The United States has 50 states

The answer is True.

Explanation

The confusion about 51 or 52 states comes from Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico: Washington, D.C. is a federal district and Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory. The last two states, Alaska and Hawaii, joined in 1959, and the flag has had 50 stars ever since.
