If only that were true during all of our history, rather than the two
World
Wars. Because Native Americans may tend to disagree with both your

And the U.S. took the area encompassing California and New Mexico as a
result of the Mexican-American war:

Likewise, Puerto Rico and the Philipines were territorial conquests
resulting from the Spanish-American war in which the U.S. "didn't go
home":

The U.S. did its best to not "go home" which was evident during the
Philipine-American war:

Lastly, the War of 1812 involved a failed attempt by the U.S. to take
