The LAST Declared war fought by the US, was WWII. The Korean War (1950-1953) and the Vietnam War (1961-1975) were "LIMITED WARS"; limited to a certain region, and limited to NON-Nuclear weapons; and were part of the Cold War to stop the spread of communism. Operation Urgent Fury-1983, was to liberate US citizens in Grenada. Operation Just Cause-1989, was to arrest Gen. Noriega in Panama. Operation Desert Storm-1991, was to remove Iraq from Kuwait. Operation Restore Hope-1993, was to help starving people in Somalia. Operation Iraqi Freedom-2003, was to remove Saddam from power in Iraq.

When has the president committed military forces overseas without a declaration of war?
The last time that the U.S. Congress declared war was World War II, right after Pearl Harbor was bombed. Therefore, some examples of undeclared wars include: the Korean War (1950-3), the Vietnam War (1964-73), Persian Gulf War (1993), and the current war on terror in Iraq and Afghanastan. In 1973 after the Vietnam War, Congress passed the War Powers Resolution, which is designed to limit the president's war-making power. As commander in chief, a president can send troops anywhere he so chooses, if the U.S. is under threat of attack, with 48 hour notice, but Congress can refuse to fund the fight and troops can only stay for 60 days (plus 30 to withdraw). If Congress declares war or agrees to fund the military venture, troops can stay.

Why didn't congress declare war on Persian war?
Answer 1Persia isn't a country any more, it's a general area. War is only declared between countries.Answer 2The Persian Wars took place around 500 BCE and the United States would not exist until 1781 CE, over 2000 years later. The United States and any of the territories that it currently occupies were not involved in the Persian Wars.If the question intends to ask about the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991 or the Iraq War of 2003-2011, Congress did not declare war because it did not need to. According to the War Powers Resolution, which is an act of US Congress passed in 1973, the President must notify Congress within 48 hours of committing armed forces to military action and forbids armed forces from remaining for more than 60 days, with a further 30 day withdrawal period in a combat zone, without an authorization of the use of military force or a declaration of war. It is an either-or. Unlike most people believe, you need not have a declaration of war, provided there is an authorization of the use of military force. In the case of both of these wars, Congress gave the President an authorization of the use of military force, which meant that the President was free to engage in military activities by congressional consent.
