Note in the article, the wars that were in effect land wars, are called by the name of those from whom the lands were wrested: “Indian Wars”. They were named thus in my country … “Maori Wars” until more recent years when they got corrected to “Land Wars”. The former titles of course deflected the reader’s eye from the real instigators of the wars. Nobody wanted to admit the real reason for them.

February 23, 2015 “ICH” – The U.S. Has Only Been At Peace For 21 Years Total Since Its Birth

Below, I have reproduced a year-by-year timeline of America’s wars, which reveals something quite interesting: since the United States was founded in 1776, she has been at war during 214 out of her 235 calendar years of existence. In other words, there were only 21 calendar years in which the U.S. did not wage any wars.
To put this in perspective:
* Pick any year since 1776 and there is about a 91% chance that America was involved in some war during that calendar year.
* 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.
* The only time the U.S. went five years without war (1935-40) was during the isolationist period of the Great Depression.
