The United States was not in a military conflict only between the years 1891 and 1897.
The finding
What the evidence shows
The Congressional Research Service list of US armed forces used abroad has entries inside that supposed quiet stretch. Naval forces were sent to Navassa Island, the Bering Strait and Chile in 1891, Marines landed in Hawaii in 1893, and US forces were used in Brazil, Nicaragua, China and Korea in 1894, with more in Colombia in 1895 and Nicaragua in 1896. Army troops were also deployed at home during the 1894 Pullman strike. The 1891 to 1897 window was not a gap in American military action.
