The United States Marine Corps was established on November 10, 1775, during the American Revolutionary War. It was created by the Continental Congress to fight both at sea and on land. Originally called the Continental Marines, they supported the Continental Navy in battles and military operations.
The Marines were disbanded in 1783 after the war but were reestablished on July 11, 1798, as a permanent military force. Since then, they have participated in major conflicts, including World War I, World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War.
Today, the Marine Corps is an important part of the U.S. Armed Forces, known for its amphibious operations and rapid-response missions. Its birthday is celebrated every year on November 10.
