Many other countries have struggled to reconcile their differences after lesser conflicts, so what events and policies made peace among us something we most take for granted?

Something that I find interesting is that two countries (the only two?) that have directly attacked America have since become two of our closest allies. Japa (Pearl Harbor, yes I am aware HI was not a full state for another 18 years), and Great Britain (war of 1812).
I’m sure there were other minor things, and certainly attacks on Americans overseas, early turf wars while trying to finalize borders with Mexico, etc… And technically speaking, an embassy is American soil so some will claim Lebanon counts as well. Well certainly egregious, these were fairly small incursions, while the Brits burned down the White House, and we all know what happened in Pearl Harbor.
