History With RCS: U.S. wars, there are a lot of them!
We
had no major wars from 1935 to 1940. 1897 was also a year with no major
wars. I do not of any others. Including these years with no war we have
averaged well over a war a year since 1776!
From
1899 to 1934 we had mostly just Banana Wars. Some of our tiny
neighboring countries of Central America may object to my use of the
word "just." We stepped on their labor movements hard. Those Banana Wars
were among the most traumatic happenings in the entire history of the
people of the Central American Republics.
When
taking a close look at historic happenings it seems that we have hated
the people of Haiti the most and for the longest time. Still, that we
have invaded Mexico 13 times since 1875 does not seem loving, nor even a
good neighbor policy.
I
have not posted much about our wars on Mago Bill. I do remember posting
on one of our early Indian Wars some time ago. I have another war post
in draft. The "Comment Section" at the foot of this post is for you and your participation.
In
the comments window you can also help me by correcting my errors or by
telling us about American wars you have checked out. I would be
interested in finding about that part of our Revolutionary War which
took place in Gibraltar: or what part Mysore played in that same war:
why Sweden was our ally in the First Barbary War; or about the German
Coast Uprising in the Territory of Orleans: or why the US invaded
Canada; and like that.
