The Great Statehood Scramble: How Many Siblings Did Oklahoma Have?
Ah, Oklahoma! Land of tornadoes, tasty fried onion burgers, and a history that's about as wild as a rodeo clown with a case of the hiccups. But today, we're not here to wrestle steers or discuss the finer points of wind tunnel cooking. We're on a mission of national trivia! Buckle up, history buffs (and those who just like knowing random things to impress your friends), because we're about to ask a question that's been stumping folks since...well, since 1907, probably.

So, How Many States Were There After Oklahoma Became a State?
Hold your horses (or should we say, Sooners?) Oklahoma officially joined the party on November 16th, 1907, becoming the 46th state in the glorious union. That's right, 46! Not 45, not 47. 46! We know, shocking, right? It's like that time you swore there were 13 stripes on the American flag, but then double-checked and realized there are actually 13... unless you were counting the weird, uneven stitching on Grandma's favorite flag, then maybe 14? But anyway, I digress.
This whole statehood business can get confusing, especially when you consider there have been 50 additions to the US family over the years. It's like keeping track of all your crazy cousins at a family reunion!
Tip: Watch for summary phrases — they give the gist.
But Wait, There's More! The Post-Oklahoma Land Rush (of States)
Now, Oklahoma may have been the 46th state, but it wasn't the last. Nope, the US of A just kept on growing! New Mexico and Arizona joined the fray in 1912, bringing the total to a cool 48. Then, we had a bit of a long wait (hey, gotta make sure those new states were ready for the responsibility!), but finally, Alaska and Hawaii became the 49th and 50th states in 1959, rounding out the crew we know and love today.
So, the big reveal? After Oklahoma, there were 45 other states in the union.
Tip: Break down complex paragraphs step by step.
But remember, that number kept on climbing until we reached our glorious 50!
