DID YOU KNOW?

Although the US has been involved in numerous military operations around the world since the Second World War, 1942 marked the last time the Congress officially declared war against another nation. The US Constitution, ratified in 1788, gives Congress the sole power to declare war, and since then, the body has formally declared war on another country a total of 11 times, during five separate conflicts. Six of those times related to the country's entry into WW2.
