No Philippine-American War( maybe McKinley sells the claim to the Dutch)
Wilson doesn't enter WWI(Let's just say Germany still loses)
No Korean War( Easy, just no Northern Korean aggression)
No Afghanistan War(No 9/11, no War on Terror)

But U.S. still enters WW2, still engages in coups in S. America, supports anti-communist dictators, and Vietnam War and both Gulf Wars still happen. The Soviet Union was precieved as anti-imperialist because they supported revolutions and rebellions everywhere. Could the U.S. support more rebellions or revolutionary leaders/groups or were there just not enough to support? Or is it just impossible? When the Soviets supported militias and groups that killed people destabilized countries they were perceived by third worlders as revolutionary/anti-imperialists but when the U.S. did it (Contras) they were seen as war criminals/terrorists.

Is the U.S. still perceived as an imperialist country without those four wars? If so is it possible to win the Cold War and be a hyper power and not be perceived fairly or not as an Imperialist power?
