From Grenada to Nigeria: A Reflection on U.S. Military History and African Strength
Since 1945, after World War II, the United States has been involved in about 200 wars around the world, directly or indirectly.
Out of all these, they only truly won two wars — Grenada in 1983 and Panama in 1989.
In Grenada, a small island with less than 100,000 people, it still took the U.S. one full week to win.
In many other places like Vietnam, Iraq, Somalia, and Afghanistan, they faced serious defeats.
Remember also that the U.S. occupied Haiti from 1915 to 1934, yet Haitians resisted them for 19 years.
So if a country like Nigeria, with about 239 million people, ever allows itself to be pushed around, it would mean Africans are seen as weak — and that anyone can step on us for no reason.
