Which country has been involved in the more peace keeping and humanitarian intervention campaigns, the United States or the European Union,. Let's list and compare the missions they each participated in, and we'll see which has participated in the most peace keeping and humanitarian intervention campaigns. Europe has participated in 16 humanitarian campaigns since 2002. I'm not sure how many America has participated in. Examples of peace keeping and humanitarian campaigns are Operation Power Pack, Operation Noble Anvil, Operation Uphold Democracy, Operation Provide Comfort, Operation Restore Hope, and others.

Peace keeping and humanitarian intervention missions are typically small military campaigns with the sole purpose of keeping the peace and/or protecting civilian lives. For the purposes of this debate, lets not include the War on Terrorism (Iraq and Afghanistan). For the purposes of this debate, let's primarily use peace keeping and humanitarian missions from the past 20 years or so, say 1990 to present.

Politics and/or versus thread = against the rules = lock.

Europe, with better intentions, better methods, and better results. If you wish to discuss further, PM me.

Sorry, I didn't mean for this to be a political thread, just a thread where we compare which has done a bigger part in the peace keeping scheme of the world.

And it will descend into one, mark my words.

Despite your best intentions, it's an inherently political thread. People will argue about who has had more peace-keeping missions, which will devolve into "X's peace-keeping meant more than Y's peace-keeping because of Z" and generally turn into a morass of bloviation by the end of the first page.

Political discussion is forbidden on this forum.
