A war fough by the US in the 1900s?
The Philippine Insurrection, which may have been renamed in the 21st century as the Philippine-American War (1900-1902). This conflict, was properly named and in reality, an "insurrection" against the US government; as the US had won the Philippines from Spain during the Spanish-American War of 1898. Which is an ironic twist...as the Philippine Insurrection (or Philippine-American War) was far bloodier, and lasted much longer, than the Spanish-American War that had spawned it.
How many years passed between Civil War and World War 1?
I believe the answer you want is the Spanish-American War. * There were several wars between the American Civil War and WW1, but the Spanish-American War (1898) was the only war which the US fought against a world power during that time. Between 1865 and 1898 the US fought several wars against the Plains Indians. And between 1898 and US entry into WW1 in 1917, the US fought the Filipino Insurrection, and it was one of eleven nations fighting in the Boxer Rebellion in 1900, and the Mexican Expedition in 1916. However, none of these were major conflicts.

The only time Spain and the US have fought anywhere was during the Spanish-American War of 1898, not during WWII, which was more than forty years later.

The Philippines became an independent nation in 1947.
