Since America's schools no longer teach history except liberal revisionism, most Americans today are some what uninformed or misinformed because of revisionism. They are unaware that America has fought over 240 wars, most were small wars like the one this thread is about.
Before the War Powers Act of 1973, the President needed approval of Congress to send the U.S. Army to war. But not the U.S. Navy. So the vast majority of America's wars were fought by U.S. Navy "blue jackets" (sailors) and U.S. Marines.
Below is a description of America's first Korean War.
The 1871 U.S.-Korea Conflict: Cause and Effects
Thomas Duvernay
Preface
>" The 1871 United States-Korea conflict is one of the least known and understood actions in both Korea and the United States. At the same time, it was a pivotal event in not only the histories of the United States and Korea, but arguably in the world. The failed diplomacy that led to the “Weekend War” set Korea up for a fall just a few short years later, which forever changed the direction of life in Korea, Asia, and the rest of the world, as Japan gained a foothold on the Asian continent. Korea, the xenophobic society, was forced into international relations, which ultimately led to its colonization, then division. Asia saw the rise of Imperial Japan after that point, and then the world was led into a global war. In this paper, I would like to show a few of the main events in the years leading up to the 1871 conflict and how they impacted upon it, including the opening of Japan, the European/American “disturbances” in 1866 and also initial United States military contact in the years between 1866 and 1871. Also, I would like to introduce some of the main participants, on both sides of the issue. Even though there were a couple thousand people involved, there were certain names that appear time after time, especially on the American side. As the paper’s core is related to the military conflict between the United States and Korea in 1871, I will go over the course of events before, during and after the fighting. I have often thought about how history might have changed if the meeting in 1871 had concluded amicably, instead of in bloodshed; I will give a short supposition of how history might have changed, if that had been the case.
