Opinion Why are there no wars in the Americas ?

[Your Account]

For the last who know how many years, major wars are happening in Europe or Middle East .
Why ?
Nothing too serious between North and South America so no wars there ?
Also on both continents , no wars, just Europe.
Whats up with Europe then , WW1, WW2 , balcan wars, Ukraine, Israel....

dunno, could be because we're all plenty violent on our own fellow citizens so we don't need to fight each other. So., dunno but it ain't because we're so peaceful. I never thought of Canada or Mexico being too interested in fighting the US and most of the south american stuff I hear about tend to be civil type of conflicts.

Because you're surrounded by two massive oceans on either side.
To the north is the most wet, soyboy nation on earth.
To the south is Mexico who know they'd be eviscerated if they started a war with the US.

not called the land of the free for nothing bucko

Because America is the best (forever)

There have been a lot of revolutionary/wars of independence and civil wars across the Americas.

See Monroe Doctrine.

I think the correct answer is that the U.S. military is so much larger than the others put together, the is U.S. basically in a position to police the hemisphere and decide who goes to war and who doesn’t.

That being said, a lot of sources define the drug wars in Mexico and Colombia as wars in our hemisphere.

Most of the worlds wars are started by America though..

 

[Blayt7hh]

I don’t think any country in South America really even possesses the means to wage war on their neighbors

 

[gspieler]

Are we not counting civil wars?

 

[ROcknrollracing]

Because Americas military is the strongest in the world by leaps and bounds and nobody is silly enough to come onto American soil. The only way to beat us is by self defeat from the inside.

What about the War On Christmas?

 

[Bagatur]

because of US hegemony in the Americas. nobody is stupid enough to start major shit. in Europe, you have a few former world powers. and in Middle East... well... you have some stupid enough to start shit.

 

[nostradumbass]

The US has been at war in some capacity most of the time for the whole country's history. If you're asking why they all seem to be away games, well we have the strongest military and our citizens are heavily armed, so it'd be a bit of a suicide mission.

Because Drug Cartels actually run Central and South America

And wars are bad for business.

Peru had some bad civil conflicts between Commies and the Govt in the 90’s

The UK was taking Peruvians in

Well… there’s lots of Drug Cartel wars

 

[Wetarmpits]

Because europe has a rich history of many divers and tradition-heavy cultures and languages on a very small space compared.
These smaller nations also have a history of fighting for centuries.
Americans/Europeans just grabbed a huge continent, killed everyone opposing and build a fortification of superiority without any bigger inner conflicts.

Canada is friendly/same, south america/mexico is run by criminals and has been destroyed/ put in limbo by europeans since 16th century.
