His expedition against Tangiers, the daring attack of Lieut. Stephen Decatur on Tripoli the next year and the combined nathe val and military expedition latter led by Gen. William Eaton which captured Derna in 1805 broke the power of the Barbary states and resulted in treaties which guaranteed the future safety of American shipping in the Mediterranean. The remainder of Jeffersons administration was peaceful but by the time James Madison entered the White House, the second war with England was brewing. For the first time in our history there was a formal declaration of war on June 18, 1812.

Despite this disaster which came the climax of other defeats on land offset, however, by many a brilliant victory at sea America continued the struggle which ended December 24 of that year when the treaty of peace was signed in Ghent, Belgium, by representatives of the two belligerents. This war had lasted two years, six months and six days. The next war with a foreign power was even shorter than the War of 1812. When the United States annexed Texas In 1845, Mexico (from whom Texas had won her independence nine years earlier) regarded this as a hostile act. There was a series of "Incidents down on the Rio Grande and Pres. James K. APRIL 2, 1917 Pres. Woodrow Wilson reads his war message to congress. Polk asked congress for a declaration of war. It came on May 13, 1846, and 10 days later Mexico declared war on the United States. Hostilities began soon afterwards, armies under General Taylsr and General Scott invaded Mexico and within a little more than a year 14, 1847) they had cap- tured the Mexican capital. The war ended with the signing of a treaty of one peace on February 2, 1848 year, eight months and twenty days after it began. The next war in which we enundeclared gaged was another war for, like its predecessor, it was a rebellion and a civil war. Just when the War Between the States began is a matter of defini- tion. The usual view is that it was April 12, 1861, when Confederate batteries in Charleston, S. C., fired on Fort Sumter and the Union troops in that fortification fired back. At any rate, it was this act which prompted President Lincoln three days later to call for volunteers to and "suppress the insurrection which resulted in four years of the hardest and bloodiest fighting the world had ever known up to that time. Just as this war had no official beginning, so it had no official ending. But the surrender of Lee on April 9, 18G5, sounded the death knell of the Confederacy and organized resistance by the men in x gray ended. From Sumter to it was four years minus three days. Shortest of all our wars with a foreign power was the War" with Spain in 1898. It had .its Appa-matto- 100-Da- origin In American sympathy for the Cuban patriots who for several years had been trying to throw off Spanish rule but it Is doubtful if there would have been a war had It not been for the event which' took place in Havana Harbor on Febru-a- s ' ary 15, 1898. That event was the explosion and sinking of the U. S. S. Maine. The excitement aver this ' resulted in diplomatic relations be-o-n ; tween Spain and the United States being broken on April 21 and the declaration of a blockade of Cuba the next day. Her national honor thus assailed, Spain declared war on April 24 and our declaration foli lowed the next day. The overwhelming victories won by our navy at Manila and at Santiago and by our army in the land fighting in Cuba soon demonstrated what the inevitable outcome of the war would be. So on August 12 a peace protocol was signed and hostilities ceased after 100 days of fighting. The war, however, did not end officially until December 10 when the peace treaty was signed in Paris. Although the period of actual combat by our fighting men was relatively short (one year and 15 days). World War I was our second longest war with a foreign power. Here is the sequence of events to validate that statement: On February 1, 1917, Germany began unrestricted submarine warfare and as a result we broke diplomatic relations with her two days later. On April 6 congress declared war on Germany and on June 26 the first American troops landed in France. However, it was not until October 27, 1917, that American soldiers fired their first shots at the enemy. Hostilities ended on November 11, 1918 one year and fifteen days after they had begun on October 27 of the previous year. The cessation of hostilities on Armistice Day did not mean the Acial end of the war. The treaty at Versailles was signed on June 28, 1919. but when it came up for ' by the senate on November 19 it was rejected. That meant that, officially, we were still at war with Germany. It was not until July 2, 1921, that President Harding signed a joint resolution of congress (passed by the house on June 30 and by the senate on July 1) declaring peace with Germany. On August 25 a peace treaty was signed in Berlin by representatives of the United States and Germany. This was ratified by the German national council on September 17 and by the United States senate on October 18. Then, and not until then, was the war between these two countries offour years, six ficially ended months and twelve days after the American declaration of war back j i of-o- in 1917. As for World War II, it began officially for the United States ob December 7, 1941, when Japan declared war against the United States and Great Britain and before the deolaration reached Washington by air or cable, made an attack or, Hawaii, the Philippines and othei American possessions in the Pacific. Our declaration of war followed the next day. Four days later Germany and Italy declared war on the United States and on the same day congress, in joint session, issued oui declaration of war against those twe nations.

Aa a matter of fact, we weren't even a nation when it started. The American Revolution began as a rebellion the revolt of the English colonies in America against their mother country. England. It continued as a rebellion and as a Patriots against the civil war Loyalists and the regularly constifor nearly a year tuted authorities before we became a nation. For the United States of America did not come into existence until July 4, 1776, when the Declaration of Independence was adopted. In the meantime there had been fighting and bloodshed at Lexington on April 19. 1775; at Concord, where was fired the shot heard 'round the world," on the same day; at Bunker Hill on June 17 and at Quebec in December. For six undeclared war" this years dragged on until, at last, the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown on October 19, 1781, meant that the independence, declared five years earlier, was an accomplished fact. However, this didn't mean the end of the war, which was destined to last for nearly two years more. It wasn't until November 30, 1782, that the preliminary articles of peace between Great Britain and the United States were signed in Paris; two more months were to elapse before articles proclaiming the cessation of hostilities between the two nations were signed on January 20. 1783; and it wasn't until September 3, 1783, that the definitive treaty of peace was signed in Paris. Thus this "undeclared war had lasted for eight years, four months and fifteen days, making it the long est in our history. During the next 20 years we were Involved in two more undeclared wars, both of which brought fighting and bloodshed. The first was with our former ally, France, and was the result of the humiliation and Insults which our envoys in Paris had suffered at the hands of the Directory and the attempt of Talleyrand to blackmail us into buying Frances friendship. Although there was no formal declaration of war. Pres. John Adams ordered commerce with France stopped in 1798 and our treaties with her abrogated. Then our infant navy put to sea to prey upon French shipping and for the next 18 months there was considerable naval warfare, marked by the victories of the frigate Constellation over French When Napoleon Bonaparte came to power, he immediately took steps to stop the conflict and in September, 1800, a convention was signed In Paris which ended this war." Meanwhile American shipping, like that of other nations, had been suffering from the raids of the Barbary pirates in the Mediterranean and, despite tribute paid to the bey of Algiers, the pasha of Tripoli and the bey of Tunis, American vessels were being seized and American seamen held prisoners until ransomed.
