Was there a war in this year?

Question

Was there a war in the USA in the year 1893 or 1894, and what was it called....and does anyone know if there is a site that has death name listings for this? ( Trying to find if my great grandpa was in this war and killed: if there was a war these 2 years.)

Answer 1

The Rif War of 1893, also called the Melilla War or the Margallo War (after an unfortunate Spanish general whose defeat and death infuriated the Spanish public) was a conflict between Spain and 39 of the Rif tribes of northern Morocco, and later the Sultan of Morocco, that began in October 1893, was openly declared November 9, 1893, and was resolved by the Treaty of Fez in 1894.

Answer 2

If you mean American wars, the only thing that would come close is the seizure of Hawaii from Queen Liliuokalani by the United States Marines on January 17, 1893. I'm not sure whether US forces suffered any casualties, like you had mentioned, but it is a possibility. Also, keep in mind that this was strictly a US Marine Corp action, and the army was not involved whatsoever.
