The Korean War was man's FIRST atomic age war (the atomic age commenced in 1945 with the detonation of the first atomic bombs); declared wars, which infer total wars, can no longer be fought, as total wars require the use of ALL available weapons such as nuclear weapons (chemical weapons are banned by treaty since 1925).

World War 1 and World War 2 were the last declared wars that the US participated in.I'm sure however that there have been small regional warsafter World War 2, that the US did not participate in that were declared wars by the regional participants in those wars.
