Here you will find the wars that the U.S. or the colonies were involved in. Some of these will have separate pages with more detailed information. All of these will have the name of the war and the years that it took place. This can be helpful for determining if your ancestors might have been involved. If they were the right age, there is a chance that they were involved and there might be records. That's just one more place you might look for a clue to the shape of your family tree. In an attempt to be thorough, I'm listing all major U.S. wars, up to the present day.
