Could you give a recent example? Because your example is as pertinent as the overthrowing of Guatemala's democratically elected President in 1954 by the CIA.

I don't remember the U.S. federal government declaring Guatemala a U.S. territory and asking all Guatemalans to change their official language.

What China did in Tibet is closer to what the U.S. did with Hawaii.
