Explanation:
[STC001921] When considering solely the states that are physically connected to one another, Alaska (on January 3, 1959) and Hawaii (on August 21, 1959) were the most recent states to join the Union; yet, Arizona was the latest state to enter the country. The process of becoming a state for Arizona, which finally occurred on February 14, 1912, after a long and grueling journey was finally successful. Prior to the start of the Civil War, the territorial boundaries of Arizona were a moving target. The territory that would one day be known as the state of Arizona was first given its outline in 1863 when its boundaries were first defined. During the Mexican Revolution, this territory witnessed some of the only violence that occurred on United States land, and before it became a state, it was dotted with abandoned mining towns that had sprung up as a result of the rise and fall of various mining operations. Nevertheless, after a short amount of time following that, it joined the Union as the 48th state.
