A complete accounting of nearly 400 U.S. military interventions across 80+ countries since 1776 - from the Barbary Wars to the War on Terror. Every invasion, bombing campaign, CIA-backed coup, and covert operation, mapped and documented.

Last updated: February 2026 - Data sourced from the Military Intervention Project (Tufts University), Congressional Research Service, CIA declassified documents, and academic studies.

I don't know whose website this is, but wow, it is a mega compilation of the US wars.
It is like an encyclopedia of the terror the US has caused around the world!
We have a horrible history!

I would like to add a couple things missing from the website lists:
---The genocide of Native Americans
--- killings of black people throughout our history.

1. Is there any country in the world that can match what we have done?

England during their colonialism area I assume.

2. Excellent source, thanks!

I've looked at interventions by Russia and China in the past, and they don't even come close. But they're the bad guys!

K&R'd & bookmarked!

3. I am glad you liked it. I thought this was an amazing compilation.

It is missing:

---The genocide of Native Americans
--- killings of black people throughout our history.

4. How did we go backward?

After Viet Nam I thought the US was done smashing up the world, or at least the public was done supporting that. But the sweat shops, plantations and mines must be protected, unlimited resource extraction must proceed unimpeded, the billionaires must get everything they want.
