40 Forgotten Wars and Conflicts America Fought That Schools Rarely Teach

What if I told you American soldiers once fought in Russia… Occupied a Mexican port city… Battled in the frozen Aleutian Islands… And even confronted their own World War I veterans in Washington, D.C.? You’ve heard about the Revolutionary War, the Civil War, and World War II. But American history is filled with conflicts so obscure, so complicated, and so quietly significant that most schools barely mention them — if at all. In tonight’s long-form episode of Sleepy American History, we explore 40 forgotten wars and conflicts America fought — from frontier battles and undeclared naval wars… to overseas interventions, Cold War standoffs, and military actions that reshaped the world while slipping through the cracks of history class. If you enjoy these calm, quietly strange stories from American history, you can also join the Sleepy American History channel membership for a few extra perks and to help support the channel.
