I'm doing an assignment for Uni regarding American wars at the moment. I was wondering if someone could direct me to a site that has a list of such wars.
I need it to be a site, rather than just the info straight, since i have to reference it.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help me dance:

Also one of the links with all the info ont he wars also has timelines for every war also.
Philippines-- 20,000 military dead and 200,000 civilian dead. (approximate numbers). Some historians place the numbers of civilian dead at 500,000 or higher.
UNIQUE FACTS OR TRENDS:
1. This was the first major land campaign fought by the U.S. outside of the Western Hemisphere.
2. The Philippine-American War can be considered America's first "Imperialistic" conflict.[/quote:f9e74]
If you include that, then you gotta include all the other "little" conflicts....[/quote:c14ac]
like bosnia, the dominican republic in the 60's, Laos, Cambodia, and so on.
