Has America ever lost a war?

Answer 1

The United States has lost just 2 wars: the War of Vietnam and the War of 1812. The Vietnamese had these guerrillas that were right at home. They dug holes right into the middle of US camps and shot, then retreated, repeating the process until almost everyone or everyone in the camp was killed. The War of 1812 was only ended because the British were shifting their focus on gaining colonies in Africa and Asia, as well as Australia and Antarctica. If you haven't noticed, they were on the attacking side, which means they had access to more resources and men.

Officially, no. The War of 1812 ended in a draw, with neither side gaining or losing anything. But America gained respect and England's navy was hurt badly. And in the Vietnam War, the USA officially announced that they would leave the war in 1973, thus, leaving the war before the South Vietnamese defeat. And in any question, the Seminole Wars were not a loss. America negotiated a plan that would allow both nations, the Seminole Natives and the Americans, to be happy. So, in all officialism, the United States of America has never been officially defeated in a war.

Answer 2

US declared war in 1812 against Canada (which were part of the British Empire at the time) and tried to invade Canada making it their own but Canada held their own and defeated the US in the only war that the US has lost.

Answer 3

The only time America and Canada were at war was during the War of 1812, and that war is probably best described as a draw, although the British did give favorable peace terms, so perhaps it was an American victory (Canada was a British colony at the time, not acting on its own).

Actually it was a British victory USA surrendered to the british
