American Military Interventions
of the 20th Century





Please be aware that this listing does not include many, many U.S. "interventions" where U.S. troops were not the
primary force - such as the U.S. intervention in the Greek civil war during the 1950s - nor does it include the
many, many U.S. nuclear threats that one might well consider a form of intervention - such as the U.S. nuclear
threat during the '73 Arab-Israeli war - nor does it include many CIA organized war efforts, such as the long war
against the leftist Angolan government which was waged by the U.S. and racist South Africa - nor does it include
all the countries intervened/invaded by the U.S. in World War I and World War II.
