Not a single one in the last 100 years

Taiwan (Republic of China) is an independent country and never was part of the PROC.

Here is a ChatGPT response to you because I wont bother with kneejerk responses:

In the last 100 years, the United States has been involved in several military invasions and interventions in various countries. Some notable examples include:

Mexico (1914) - U.S. forces occupied Veracruz.

Haiti (1915-1934) - U.S. Marines occupied Haiti to stabilize the country.

Dominican Republic (1916-1924) - U.S. intervention to restore order and protect American interests.

Korea (1950-1953) - U.S. involvement in the Korean War, supporting South Korea against North Korea.

Vietnam (1955-1975) - Extensive military involvement in the Vietnam War.

Grenada (1983) - U.S. invasion to overthrow the government and restore order.

Panama (1989) - Operation Just Cause to depose Manuel Noriega.

Iraq (2003) - Invasion to overthrow Saddam Hussein, followed by a prolonged military presence.

Afghanistan (2001-2021) - Response to the 9/11 attacks, targeting the Taliban and al-Qaeda.

This list highlights significant military actions but is not exhaustive, as the U.S. has also conducted numerous smaller operations, interventions, and covert actions in various countries over the years.

ChatGPT can't even subtract 100? The first 3 examples are over 100 years and most of those were just helping allies. Note that I also said "annex".
