It says through several references that the United States have involved in 93 wars in past 245 years.

The American Indian Wars (1775-1924), also known as the American Frontier Wars, resulted in the deaths of over 15,000 indigenous people and the displacement of millions of people across the North American continent, especially the Trail of Tears.
During WWII, the United States dropped two nuclear bombs on two major Japanese cities, Hiroshima and Nagasaki, resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths and cancer cases. That was the first time nuclear weapons were used in a war.
The Vietnam War (1955-1975), the United States’ 20-year war in Vietnam, is generally regarded as a costly and brutal military disaster, with an estimated 2 million civilians and 1 million soldiers killed.
Following the Taliban’s reluctance to hand over Osama Bin Laden following the 9/11 attacks, the US invaded Afghanistan, with US troops expected to leave in 2021. The war has killed an estimated 160,000 Afghans.
The invasion of Iraq was prompted by the United States’ argument that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction, and the country was invaded in 2003. At US prisons like Abu Ghraib, the war resulted in huge casualties and egregious human rights violations. The US withdrawn its troops in 2011, but they returned in 2014.
Yesterday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan flatly denied US recognition of the Armenian Genocide and Yerevan’s assertion.
