Thirty years after the revolution, the United States fought the War of 1812. About thirty-four years later, there was the war with Mexico, and then about thirteen years after that the Civil War broke out. Six hundred thousand Americans died. After this, there was the long final struggle with the Indian nations. Then there was the Spanish-American War in 1898. Sixteen years after that was World War I, and twenty-three years after that World War II. Then came Korea and Vietnam and, since the beginning of the twenty-first century, the wars against the jihadists.
