What counteries? hmmm. OK how about England, France, Spain, Germany, Turkey, China, Japan. etc etc.
Half the wars you mention above are European wars. Started in Europe, infact going for 5 whole years before the U.S joined in. The US just joined in to help later. Including WW1, WW2, Bosnia, Kosovo, after we asked them for help. Did you know France and England were at war for 100 years solid? So you add all the wars the U.S were involved in would that add up to 100 years? That was just one of the wars we have had together
Two of the wars above, the first two, were the English fighting the native americans. America wasnt even a real country. The second is Colonials, fighting ex colonials. Then we have Intervention in Haiti, a war? First Persian Gulf War, that was a U.N war.
The US havnt even come close to the European and middle eastern wars. They have started far less than Europeans, Asians and Middle Eastern countries and have been involved in far less.
