This is a list of American military or major CIA operations since 1946 (routine CIA operations have been going on all over the place since 1946). When you look at it, remember that these operations have been almost exclusively about blocking the advance of communism, destabilising potentially democratic governments, propping up corrupt right-wing regimes and/or generally clearing the way for corporate expansion.
