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.
