I suppose you mean the Vietnam War, Korean War and both World Wars since you chose those types of categories. I will give you answer for each one.
World War 1: Some of our ships were sunk by the Germans. Political leaders of the US also chose to declare war on Germany for many reasons that were really rather dumb and senseless. (no time to get into it all, that entire war was senseless and accomplished nothing)
World War 2: President Roosevelt wanted to help the Brits with their dilemma in World War 2 but the Americans did not. Japan attacked the US and then the Americans wanted to fight. Adolph Hitler declared war on the US. Hence they were involved whether the American people wanted it or not.
Korean War was a war of the Cold War. The Koreans asked the US (and I think the United Nations for help). Initially they went over to help them but did not send thousands of troops or very well trained troops. The war escalated so the US became involved in the war.
Vietnam War: The US was requested by the South Vietnamese Government to come help them with war consultants and later troops to teach and help. Later the war escalated and the micromanaging Presidents and War Cabinets sent in hundreds of thousand of troops and drafted men into that war.
America is not involved in all wars but they are involved in most of the United Nation dilemmas in which troops are sent to some place in the world. They did start the war against the Afghans and the Iraqis that were considered part of the 9/11/2001 attack on the Twin Towers.
