Let's see, the military pretty much solved slavery, Nazism and Communism. I think terrorism is small potatoes compared to those other three.

You may want to take this concept back to the drawing board. None of these issues have been solved. Slavery still exist, Nazism still exist, and Communism still exist. 100 years from now, Terrorism, or whatever 'ism we call it then, will still exist. Blackbird.

The US was the only country that resorted to war to end slavery. BTW that war was over secession - letting sovereign states determine their own course or enforcing a union through conquest.

W.W.I brought on communism and nazism. W.W.II enable communism to grow strong in the USSR and spread, ensuring the cold war. WWII's policy of unconditional surrender meant we had to conquer and occupy a land rather than merely defeating an army. Thus we had to rebuild and defend the conquered lands. BTW we are still there and even expanding our jurisdiction - recipes for more wars.
