Well, there was a rebel conflict between Somalia and the US which took place in 1991 (end of the Cold War) and has been going on ever since.

In 1998 a terrorist organisation called Al-Qaeda began a serious of bombings on American territory such as the USS Cole and a US embassies in South Africa.

Then in 2001, Al-Qaeda's leader Osama bin Laden, arranged a terrorist attack on the World Trade Centre resulting of the deaths of almost 3,000 innocent civilians.

Almost a month after this attack George W Bush launched Operation Enduring Freedom which resulted in invading Afghanistan and other Islamic nations.

They're goal is to remove all of Al-Qaeda forces.

The UK and some Russian and the Afghan National Army are also helping the US achieve this goal.

What wars did the us win?

All wars with all nations, excepting Vietnam. Correction: On a technical scale, the U.S. has never lost a war. The Korean and Vietnam wars were called to cease fires, except for the fact that we made the last push in Korea so the U.S. had a lasting impression, whereas North Vietnam struck again right as we left.


What are two undeclared wars in American history?

We have engaged in several undeclared wars, such as the undeclared Naval War with France, under President Adams, and the War with the Barbary Pirates under Jefferson. Some of the conflicts, like Korea, were termed Police Actions, not wars. However, Congress did give approval for the use of US troops. Some Indian battles in the west were carried out without a formal declaration against that particular tribe or settlement. Every military action since the end of WWII have been undeclared wars. Korea, Vietnam, Gulf War, Iraq..etc....
