Splum... don't be so damned arrogant and make claims of the US "winning" both World Wars. The operative words are "world wars" and many nations were involved. The US contributed much - tho so did 30+ other nations.
Have a close hard look at the "wars" with Latin America. The then US govt decided to invade Latin American countries - not just Mexico, but the invading forces were repelled. There is little good to be said of this - it was the same land, power and cheap labor grabbing which exists today with oil. It is also noteable that most of the countries where the US attempted to invade, never showed any aggression towards the US. The Spanish word "gringo" is applied to US forces/citizens till this day in reference to the times of the US bullying - they still remember it well in their history books.
Na.. Better not include fighting between each other (Civil War) - it then gets more embarassing and damned sad.
