The USA is not aggressive.  We are passive resistant.  We have, since the Revolution, never started a war and only reluctantly, entered into the ones we were in.  \n\nNO we did not start the war in Iraq.  When your neighbor is beating his wife, you do not start a fight by stopping it.\n\nI sincerely hope you all forget to vote.

Kind of a trick question.  What would come to be the United States was governed first by the Continental Congress from 5 September to 26 October 1774.  The Second Continental Congress oversaw the conduct of the War for Independence.\n\nThe "United States" was declared in the Declaration of Independence , July 4, 1776.  However, the very first actual government, The Articles of Confederation, did not take effect until March 2, 1781 when the first Congress of the United States Assembled convened for the first time.  The War for Independece was not concluded until September 3, 1783 with the Treaty of Paris.

If you know the history well, you wouldn't say U.S lost to V.N, you need to look at the bigger picture during that era. I want to say that the U.S has not lost a war, yet. \n\nThe U.S abandoned South Vietnam to allie with China against the U.S.S.R during the Cold War. \n\nLogically speaking... how can can the U.S lost to a third world country back in the day...when in the past the U.S has defeated Germany, Italy and Japan, and many other countries? It's rediculous to say that U.S lost to VN.

This is ridiculous.  There have been times when the US has got itself involved in armed conflicts that Britain started (not least two world wars) and also times when Britain has got involved in conflicts at the behest of America.  The two countries are very close allies and the current anti-Americanism in Britain is very worrying.\n\nIf we weren't so closely allied to our great transatlantic ally, I think we would quickly end up being just one state in the United States of Europe, which would be a tragedy.

Unofficially, the US was involved with WWII from the beginning, by sending supplies to the Allies.\nOfficially, in 1941.
