How many wars has the US had after it became a country, and which ones? *I's pretty sure there are 11*?

Question

Alright... I know that this is a weird question and stuff... but I was just wondering out of curiosity. My teacher said that there were eleven including the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, World War I, World War II, the Vietnam War, the French Indian War, the Mexican War, the Desert Storm, the Iraqii war, (Whatever it's called. It's the war we're in now.) the War of 1812 and the Korean War! But I'm not all that sure if those are all of them.................. PLEASE HELP MEH PITIFUL MIND! DX (I've been thinking about this for the past month :P)

Answer 1

My son never trust to the records in the 'History' as it is impossible you find any correct answer.

In Iran we read in the History Book in schools that the 'American Constitution Act [same with Canadian] have been written with BOLD of millions INNOCENT aboriginal children, women and men who were the true and actual Landlord of all these lands in Canada and USA.

Answer 2

what about
Grenada
Panama
Afganhistan
Spanish American War
The Iranian incursion
The Columbian Incursian
The Cold War
The war on Drugs
War against Terror
The war on poverty

Basically The US has been at war since the inception of the nation
I did not even begin to include the thousand wars with a thousand different indian tribes

Answer 3

That is a difficult question. It is really only a "war" if congress declares it so.
We have had many soldiers die in "undeclared" wars, "police actions" etc.
This is probably the best link.

Answer 4

well.... the last war was WW2 because that was the last time congress decared war... so some of the wars u put were acctualy just conflicts
