Watch the video below and look on a map or Google maps and find Guam, which is an overseas territory of the United States. Guam was one of Spain's last colonies which the US took from Spain in the Spanish-American War in 1898 along with Puerto Rico, the Philippines, and Cuba. Today, Guam and Puerto Rico are still US territories but Cuba and the Philippines are now independent countries.
Look up Guam's longitude (on Wikipedia or just Google "Guam longitude) and relate its location to the time zones on slides 32-33. Why do you think this promotional video is called "Guam: Where America's day begins?"
We will discuss in class.
