The Korean War, fought from 1950 to 1953.

  1. The War of 1812

  3. The Korean War ✔

Why: USCIS lists World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Persian Gulf War for the 1900s. The War of 1812 and the Mexican-American War were in the 1800s.

Huh, didn't know that: The Korean War is often called "the Forgotten War."
