When was the first war in the us?

Answer 1

The Battle of Fort Sumter, South Carolina.
The first battle was the attack at Fort Sumter (a union fort in SC), and the only few deaths were one confederate horse and a man who was standing near a dud explosion for the salute and was injured and then died.

Answer 2

The first war on what is now American soil would have been one that was fought between Native Americans. However the first war to be fought by people claiming US citizenship was the Revolutionary War. All other wars and skirmishes up until that point (including Bacon's Rebellion and the Seven Years War/ French and Indian War) were fought by Colonists who, while living in "America" were still subjects of the British Crown.

Answer 3

As the United States wasn't recognised as a country until 1780 or thereabouts there must have been many thousands of battles fought before the country came into existence. The Romans alone fought hundreds of battles in their conquest of Europe.

Answer 4

I am pretty sure the first battle was the revolutionary war. The American Revolution.before the American revolution United States was not formed as the United States yet. so maybe we have to apply that into this question and name the Battle of the bull run in 1861 the first battle of the civil war as the first battle of the United States.

Answer 5

Other than the frontier wars, the War of 1812 (against Britain). America was not the US during the Revolutionary War (1776).
