Other than the more significant ones like the world wars, though, most people in and outside America have hardly heard of them, either because they happened a long time ago or due to their limited impact on global politics.

Invasion of the south West modern United States 😑
We should remember South West ONCE BELONGED to Mexico 🇲🇽 when they declared their independence from Spain 🇪🇸
So Native Americans have an indefinite right to live there and Mexicans to – a small extent –
Considering we were the invaders and occupiers! 😅
Hell there are even US cities that still retain their Spanish names! 👇Alberquerque, Dallas,
Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco – etc
What? No mention of the 1918 US (and about 10 others) intervention in the Russian Civil War? The US Marines landed at Archangel
Whoa, ease up on Murica, Simon. You might find us forces surrounding that awesome beard.
Seems like the US tends to be its own worst enemy in a lot of foreign policy.
Panama. The removal of Noriega. Also, Kosovo.
Well, this is something. Forgot about the Seminole Wars. Read about these on Wikipedia.
The Marines never forgot about the Barbery wars. Listen to the first line of their Hymn🇺🇲🤓😎✌🏻
There's an account of Elizabeth II calling Thatcher on the carpet when she learned that the US had invaded one of her countries without prior notice.
This is in reference to Grenada, to be clear.
I love history. I’m no expert and wish to know more. That being said, I had no idea we had fought the Koreans before the 1900s Korean War. 🤔
The US still bombs Somalia to this day.
Simon should do a Top Ten Simon Videos video
For a country that has always been paranoid of being invaded, they have gone to war with half of the world 😆
How many US Presidents have, as commander in chief, ordered troops into combat? The answer is all of them.
Wow the coup in Guatemala is terrible, they literally threw it back into dictatorship and caused a civil war. I feel like this should be talked about more, Guatemala didn’t deserve such an egregious attack. The CIA is dirty AF.
In a world divided we stand united ᴺᴬᵀᴼ
One that could have ben mentioned is the Pig war of 1859 which influenced how the border between Canada and the US was finalized in the Pacific Northwest.
You could do forgotten wars of America, and most people would be shocked
1/137
The Boxer Rebellion was the start of a great cinematic universe.
the us creates all the conflicts there noses are huuuuuuuuge
Marines remember Grenada.
"We have two companies of Marines running rampant all over the northern half of this island, and three Army regiments pinned down in the southwestern corner, doing nothing. What the hell is going on?"
–Gen. John W. Vessey Jr., USA, Chairman of the the Joint Chiefs of Staff; during the assault on Grenada, 1983
Marines remember the Barbary Wars
"To the shores of Tripoli"
–USMC Hymn
Marines remember the Boxer Rebellion and the Invasion of Hati. Where do you think Dan Daley got his medals of honor? Or Smedley Butler?
American Imperialism.mp4
Ah yes, a top 10 reasons that the world generally hates the US.
One big one you missed was American troops being sent to Russia after WWI
I'm surprised the intervention in Russia after World War 1 isn't mentioned. The western allies took Murmansk and Archangle in European Russia and the Americans and Japanese took Vladivostok in the Far East.
30 seconds to delete my comment that broke no moderator rules.
Thanks for being so attentive. You made my point better than I ever could.
Simon say it like Grenade uh please
War of 1812 is interesting too. Most Americans forget about it but in Canada it's pretty big. We burnt down the White House as revenge for Americans burning down Toronto (then called York)
Despite the economic downturn, I'm so happy 😊.I have been earning $ 60,200 returns from my $7,000 investment every 13days✓🛍️
No idea where you got your information on Grenada. The US sent over 10,000 military, including an entire aircraft carrier task force. Grenada had no army, just cops and untrained militia. The only ones on the island with military training were Cuban engineers sent to build an airport for tourism.
Even so it took the US eight days to conquer an enemy they greatly outnumbered and outgunned. It became infamous for SNAFUs like bombing a hospital filled with mental patients, and a Marine unable to order ground support fire so he had to call his wife back in the states and have her call the base. Seriously.
In the US 50,000 people marched in DC vs the invasion and there was an attempted impeachment of Reagan. Even British PM Thatcher opposed the invasion.
One of the reasons the Filipino-American War is forgotten is shame. We used the Filipino rebels to help defeat the Spanish and then turned them, into a colony for fifty years. We lost a lot more people there than we did fighting the Spanish.
Four of these involve the US invading other countries in the Americas, two of them from the Wilson Administration, which also had this tendency to invade Mexico.
None of this is a shock. America loves nothing more than illegally invading other nations. Disgusting warmongers.
Don’t you just love our government.
The US has always has it’s fingers in other country’s pies. Some make sense, some don’t.
I knew about all of these except the 1871 Korean Conflict. I grew up in Kansas & the 20th Kansas Volunteer Regiment of Infantry was part of the 1899 US-Philippine War, so I'm very familiar with that one.
Hey Simon
Battle of Mogadishu- Warographics 👀👀
Fun fact about the invasion of Grenada: The communist government still recognised Queen Elizabeth II as their head of state. Many of the countries that took part in the invasion of Grenada were also realms of Queen Elizabeth II. So the Queen went to war with herself.
Never forget the Marines that died in Beirut Lebanon October 23rd 1983
08:20 I think you mean "ethiopian invasion", rather than "european invasion"… right?
Preform the same judgement on the actions of the British military.
You forgot to talk about the 40 year war the US fought in the jungles of South America, focused mainly in the Colombia mainland.
What can we say the US has been at war almost it's entire existence. Built on war and sustained by it, gotta keep the warmongering going!
