To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Guam: The US seized Guam during imperialism (after the Spanish - American War).
• The Philippines: The US took control of the Philippines as a result of imperialism (Spanish - American War and subsequent events).
• Japan: The US did not annex or seize control of Japan through imperialism. After World War II, the US occupied Japan, but this was a post - war occupation, not an imperialistic annexation or seizure in the traditional sense of US imperialism in the late 19th/early 20th century.
