What wars did the US win in the history of the world?

Answer 1

1. The US can accept the title of victor during the Revolutionary War of 1776; however, like Vietnam, the British grew tired of fighting the American Colonists (8 years worth) and decided we were no longer worth the trouble and called it quits. 2. The War of 1812; Britain agreed to quit kidnapping US Seamen on the high seas. 3. The Mexican War (1846-1848); the US acquired California, Arizonia, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico. 4. Frontier Wars (1850-1890); the US Army settles the western US. 5. Spanish-American War of 1898; US acquires leasing rights in Cuba, and takes Puerto Rico, Guam, and the Philippines. 6. In 20th Century language; the US puts down the Philippine Insurrection in 1902. Which was bloodier than the Spanish-American War of 1898 which had spawned it. Today's 21st Century language calls it the "Philippine-American War." 7. US is responsible for the allied victory in WW1. 8. US is responsible for the allied victory in WW2. 9. US/Allies STOP the communists at the 38th Parallel during the Korean War; which is still in effect today. 10. Vietnam War; US pulls out of Vietnam in 1973; South falls to the Communist Northern invaders in April 1975. First communist victory during the cold war. 11. US successfully conducts military operations: Urgent Fury (Grenada 1983); Just Cause (Panama 1989); Desert Storm (Iraq-January & February 1991); Restore Hope (Somalia 1993); Bosnia Operations in the 1990's; Operations Iraqi Freedom (starting in 2003 to present) and Operation Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan 2001 to present).
