U.S. First Four Wars
In its attempt to pursue diverge interests; the United States of America has participated in numerous military confrontations. Following the attainment of independence, the US engaged in four consecutive battles namely (the Revolutionary war of 1775-1783, the First Barbary war of 1801-1805, the War of 1812, and the Mexican war of 1846-1848).
