| What exactly is your criteria for a "war"? Technically, the only times when war was declared were the Mexican-American War, Spanish American War, World War I, and World War II. The others were all authorized by Congress, but never formally declared war. According to your own source you left out Panama, Grenada, and Bosnia, along with the Indian Wars. The Civil War was a unique situation, and is considered a rebellion or insurrection, not a war. Basically, you need to be more consistent with your definition of "war," at least clarify what is it. |
