1. Operation Urgent Fury-(1983 Grenada) 2. Operation Just Cause-(1989 Panama) 3. Operation Desert Storm (1991 Iraq) 4. Operation Restore Hope (1992/93 Somalia) 5.

The Answer: Communism was not an issue for any of them except #1. The others were caused in varying degrees by the fall of Communism. Operation Just Cause (or as I like to call it, Just 'cause) was to dispose of an anti-Communist Panamanian dictator who was no longer needed by the US. His counterparts in Haiti and the Philippines were also disposed of at the same time for the same reason.
For the US, anything prior to the Korean War and anything past the Vietnam War.
It depends on which one. Communism was an issue in the Soviet-Afghan War from 1979-1989. Communism is not an issue in the current US-Afghan War from 2001-Present.
Communism is a global classless stateless society based on production for use. It has never existed, so has been the cause of no wars. Under capitalism, wars are fought for access to raw materials, trade routes and markets.
Yes, with the Soviet War, No with the US war.
Basically the entire Cold War. However during the Cold War there were several hot wars which were proxy wars between the superpowers of the time. The US involvement in the Asia (Korea and Vietnam) can be considered wars were the US attempted to stop the spread of Communism. Likewise the US involvement with the Contras in Nicaragua can be considered an attempt to stop the spread of communism.
to stop communism
Both were started because of the US fear of communism.

To stop communist aggression.
it hoped to defeat Communism by preventing its expansion to the other territories.
The Vietnam War, The Korean War, Maybe part of World War II
It happened during the cold war because people were scared of communism and its spread across the world. The theme of the cold war was the prevention of the spread of communism, and many people thought that communism was spreading inside the US. The US was extremely paranoid about communism, which led to its involvement in Vietnam and many other wars. In a nut shell, Americans were so paranoid that they thought communism was spreading in their own country.
