Well you may have thought that the United States kept its nose pretty clean in the 1800s with a mere four wars. In the 1900s, the number crept up to five. Here are the answers that the USCIS interviewer might be hoping for:
You only need to answer one, so my advice is to go with WW2 as it appears in other questions too.
I’m not saying that the US stole the Louisiana Territory – they certainly paid for it. But at only 3c an acre, that’s a pretty good deal. Even if you accounted for inflation, it’s still less than 50c an acre. Two acres for a dollar? I mean, where can you buy land at two acres for a dollar?
It was a heck of a deal, and it wasn’t just the great(?) State of Louisiana – which was called the Territory of Orleans at the time. Anyway, the US bought it from France back in the early 1800s, and gumbo has never been the same since.
