You know you're absolutely right. I forgot the colonial struggles you referred to. I was concentrating on aggressive (ie incursive actions or invasions if you will) and "European wars", as that was what was stated the US Forces were preventing. I didn't stop to consider colonies revolting; the exception being Ethiopia of course.
Not in the slightest way the same thing, but a fair catch nonetheless.
