    Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2017 Updated October 12, 2017 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R42738 Instances of Use of United States Armed Forces Abroad, 1798-2017 Summary This report lists hundreds of instances in which the United States has used its Armed Forces abroad in situations of military conflict or potential conflict or for other than normal peacetime purposes. It was compiled in part from various older lists and is intended primarily to provide a rough survey of past U.S. military ventures abroad, without reference to the magnitude of the given instance noted. The listing often contains references, especially from 1980 forward, to continuing military deployments, especially U.S. military participation in multinational operations associated with NATO or the United Nations. Most of these post-1980 instances are summaries based on presidential reports to Congress related to the War Powers Resolution. A comprehensive commentary regarding any of the instances listed is not undertaken here. The instances differ greatly in number of forces, purpose, extent of hostilities, and legal authorization. Eleven times in its history, the United States has formally declared war against foreign nations. These 11 U.S. war declarations encompassed five separate wars: the war with Great Britain declared in 1812; the war with Mexico declared in 1846; the war with Spain declared in 1898; the First World War, during which the United States declared war with Germany and with Austria-Hungary during 1917; and World War II, during which the United States declared war against Japan, Germany, and Italy in 1941, and against Bulgaria, Hungary, and Rumania in 1942.

    21 Those Pirates and Muslim Barbarians: The American Public View of the Barbary Nations and the United States Participation in the Barbary War Kate_ Page Although the Marine Anthem is sung quite often throughout the country, relatively few know the extent of its history or the meaning of the phrase, "from the Halls of Montezuma to the shores of Tripoli." In the early 1800s the United States was at war with the Barbary Nations in what would come to be known as the Barbary Wars. The American public glorified the United States and made the Barbary nations into an evil enemy. The historiography of the Barbary Wars tends to be written from a diplomatic or military approach, and understandably so. The fight against these North African pirates afforded some of the earliest and most celebrated actions of the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. This combat also began a long and ongoing U.S. military presence in the Middle East, and the American public's interest in the greater Islamic world. Little has been written, though, on the new nation's reaction to the war. This article will address the American people's reaction to the United States dealing with the Barbary Nations. 1 From the beginning of the 11 h century, the Barbary Nations were the crippling controllers of the Mediterranean Sea. Their piratical practices was felt thorough much of the Atlantic World, along the Mediterranean, up to Iceland, and down the Western African Atlantic coast. The four· Barbary Nations were Morocco, Tunis, Tripoli, and Algiers, and were the scourge of trade and commerce for many of the nations of the time.

(The image is of a clock used on WW II-era Spitfires and other aircraft.) copyright Mary L. Dudziak © 2009 LAW, WAR, AND THE HISTORY OF TIME Mary L. Dudziak University of Southern California Gould School of Law Abstract This paper examines wartime as a form of time, arguing that assumptions about the temporality of war are a feature of American legal thought. Time is thought to be linear and episodic, moving from one kind of time (peacetime) to another kind of time (wartime) in sequence. In this way of thinking, war is by definition temporary, so that war’s impact on law is limited in time. This understanding of war and time, however, is in tension with the practice of war in 20th century U.S. history, for American involvement in overseas military action has been continuous. Drawing upon works on the history of time, the paper argues that our conception of “wartime” is not inevitable. Instead, like other forms of time, it is a product of social life.

  • How Many Wars Have There Been? of the Past 3,400 Years, Humans Have Been Entirely at Peace for 268 of Them, Or Just 8 Percent of Recorded History
    How many wars have there been? Of the past 3,400 years, humans have been entirely at peace for 268 of them, or just 8 percent of recorded history. At least 108 million people were killed in wars in the twentieth century. Estimates for the total number killed in wars throughout all of human history range from 150 million to 1 billion. Jul 6, 2003 How many wars has America had between 1776 and 2017? The U.S. Has Been At War 222 Out of 239 Years. An interesting statistic: America has been at war 93% of the time – 222 out of 239 years. Another way to put it: the U.S. has only been at peace for less than 20 years total since its birth. (Mar. 19, 2017) To put this in perspective: * No U.S. president truly qualifies as a peacetime president. Instead, all U.S. presidents can technically be considered “war presidents.” * The U.S. has never gone a decade without war.

Introduction Of the principles which have guided this nation since its in- ception, none is as firmly established in the law as Justice Mar- shall's oft-quoted pronouncement that the Constitution is "the fundamental and paramount law of the nation."1 Yet the consti- tutional provisions concerning the allocation of the war powers' were written in "an age of sailing ships and horse-drawn can- nons ..... ", How applicable are these provisions two hundred years later - in a world of super-power domination and poten- tial nuclear war? Some may contend that the very technology of the nuclear age makes impossible the separation of powers over war intended by the Framers of the Constitution.
