g-day!

Answer 2

1. War of 1812
2. Mexican-American War
3. Spanish-American War
4. World War One.
5. World War Two.
But, World War Two was a war in which we declared that a state of war "already existed" because of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. So, technically we didn't "declare war" as we did in the previous conflicts.
But, it hardly matters. The thing which does matter regarding the present war is something you can see in the Senate chamber on C-Span. Affixed to the top of the wall behind the presiding officer's chair are two U.S. flags gathered in the shape of bunting. They are known as the "Grand Union Banners". Other than the five declared wars listed above, they were also displayed in the chamber during the War Between the States (Civil War). They are a symbol that the United States is at war because they are displayed in the legislative branches that represents those states.
