Disregarding small conflicts with native Americans, because they're still Americans.

Has America ever won a war purely by themselves? Without the involvement of anyone else.

The Civil War.

Spanish American War.

I'm pretty sure we win the Mexican-American war alone.

The Pacific War

Yes, I realize thats just another theatre of WW2 from another perspective, but just as the pooropeans see The War of 1812 as a small theatre of the Napoleonic Wars, the Japanese view the Pacific War as its own war against the US.

And yes, we won that one all by ourselves.

But I'm using OP's stupid logic for that post. No country on the planet has ever fought a war completely on its own and won.

No, America has never really won a war. The best we did was the revolutionary war but that was just a matter of Britain saying fuck it, we are done sailing way over there, you can have it. They had their hands full with the French anyway.
>>
>>33115803
And that's the thing, any major conflict will be fought between two or more powers. It's nearly impossible for the us to fight a major war without any other power involved. The world was just too interconnected by the time the us came around for other country's not to get involved in each other's conflicts.

Didnt America fight Mexico by itself and win?


You would be correct in saying not many wars involve only two powers because allies almost always become involved. But you did not say that.

Most wars are those of coalitions, yet it would be fair to say that in Coalitions some powers make far greater contributions than others and are far more important to the success of the coalition, furthermore there are also coalitions where it was effectively two powers fighting with several less important ones tagging along , for example, Naples or Bavaria did not win the war of the fourth Coalition- but that France did more than any other power.

Also really, there are quite a few, the following are a small list of wars involving only two powers in British military History:

Anglo Spanish War (great armada
Anglo-French war
1st Anglo-Dutch War

after unification
The Third Carnatic War (GB vs France)
Anglo-Mysore war (4 times)
Kandyan Wars
Anglo-Maratha Wars
Gunboat War (denmark btfo)
Anglo-Russian War
Effectively the Peninsula War as the Spanish were effectively defeated from the onset
Punjab War
Anglo-Afghan War
Opium War
Anglo-Sikh War
about 10 Xhosa wars (shooting black people)
Anglo-Persian Wars
Indian Mutiny
Taranaki War
Ashanti War
Bhutan War
Klang War
Abysinnian Expedition
Anglo-Zulu War
Urabi Revolt
Boer War
Anglo-Burmese war
Malayan Crisis
Mau Mau Uprising

The term that comes into play on the "alliance" word is very hard to judge could the Russians and Chinese pumping weapons and advisors into Vietnam be considered enough. 500000 screaming Chinamen coming over the border in Korea? Countries holding embargos or trying to run them like in the civil war. I would be hard pressed to see two countries completely devoid of any help from the outside fighting a war

America left knowing that SV continuing for long was unlikely, it hadnt stopped the tide from the North as it set out to do, just delayed it.
Partly because it couldnt commit properly due to China, but i think China should have been fought and bombed and destroyed- Washington did not.

Actually the Naval actions in the Med and North Africa were huge, mainly because it showed that the US Navy was willing to undertake offensive operations half a world away while European nations were sometimes bowing to demands made by pirates. It solidified complete US dominance in Western Hemisphere and placed the US in the high rollers tier in terms of naval power.

Rebellion. Assisted by French and Prussians.
Barbry. Assisted by Spain
1812. Lost to Canada
Mexican war. Assisted by native Americans.
Civil war. Both sides used advisors from Europe.
Spanish war. Lost that one.
Second Mexican war. Lost that one.
Great War. Started late left early
Second World War. Started late after selling material to both sides. Left early.
Korea. Draw.
Vietnam. Lost.
Granada. That is one that was a win, against a country one one hundredth the size and resources of USA.
First gulf. Coalition
Second gulf. Coalition.
Afanistan. Coalition.

So, in the last two hundred and fifty years, only one win all by themselves.

>>33119466
And failed invading canada 3 times in a row and overall took 2 casualties for every 1 dead Canadian/Brit in a war they started.

With the exception of New Orlando (which had no impact on the wars outcome) the US performed badly on land , particularly in the early stages of the war.

Tje US navy however did pretty well, it won most of the single ship to ship engagements even if it lost the larger battles. This directly lead to the British ending the practice of press ganging.

Samefag, nations also have to be recognized as nations. Since the south wasn't recognized as independent, the union wasn't fighting against a foreign state. It was culling a revolt.

The DNC de facto surrendered, and then turned around and all but declared war on the South.

Without Watergate, 1975 is a repeat of 1972.

What about all those times china, and that one time when russia, tried to invade japan and they got buttfucked?
>>
>>33119556
Aye, so if we lose most battles but gain our objects, we either won 1812, or lost 1812 and won Vietnam. Depends on your metric

Half of these, apart from the shit with Indians, were in coalitions and often you had less part in these coalitions.
The only legit one is the US-Mexican war
also you lost in the phillipines

It would have had a right to attack had it been provoked and/or wronged by said state, however the excuse for attacking was the mere existence of said state- which is not justifiable.

>WWI
Fighting under french command, using French weapons, only joined at the last minute, completely ignoring the eastern front and German east Africa.
All the US did in WW1 was profit from everyone involved.

>WW2
British did most of the fucking of the luftwaffe, Soviets did most of the fucking of the German army and the majority of the Japanese army - who were focused in Mainlaind China, and always had been.
All the US did in WW2 was take out some tiny islands and nuke some unimportant cities in Japan. That and wait around while the Soviets took Berlin.

Imperialism is an inherent right pf every country. They are all sovereign states and are under no obligations to let other countries keep their shit if they can't defend themselves.

How do you define victory then? North Vietnam invaded South Vietnam and succeeded into unifying Vietnam under communism while America backed their bags and flew back home.. Real world isn't a video game and wars aren't won or lost by kill/death -ratios.

Winning and losing in war is about succeeding to achieve your strategic goals. Goal of the Vietnam war was to fend of the communist advance into Southern Vietnam and to keep the corrupt and hated South Vietnamese Saigon government in power indefinitely and that most definitely wasn't achieved. North Vietnamese strategic goal was to unify Vietnam under socialism and that they did and thus victory over the conflict goes to North Vietnam.

Correct. It's pluralized. The Americas. Consisting of North and South America. You never refer to any of these continents or the two together as simply America unless you're an ignorant European.
>>
>>33124878
Dummies like you are the reason US has been fucking up wars ever since steam rolling Europe in WW2. Killing your enemy is not enough. If we look at the kill/death -ratios Germany won the second world war but I think most people including military historians would disagree with that assessment.

>implying America is an imperialist country who unilaterally goes on conquest with the stated goal of a country's subjugation.

Fucking eurofags

The only way the USA won the Vietnam war is if they secretly wanted to turn it into a unified Communist state.

The best thing about Vietnam is that 56000 Americans died for nothing.

The US may not have been allied with France during 1812, but they weren't the only one fighting Britain.

You're right, they're not. too bad the Americans lost the civil war.

Technically the Argie weapons were foreign imports, making the origin countries involved, like how the Exocets came from France or the General Belgrano was an old USN ship. I admit that this is a pretty big stretch of logic though.
