Circum-Pacific War. The Belkan War’s so overrated.
Which civil war?
At first, I simply assumed that it referred to the Finnish Civil War (any war with any connection to Russia is top of my mind these days), but then your comment made me realize that it’s more likely to be referring to some civil war that attracted a lot of international fighters, so it must be the Spanish Civil War.

fuck yeah, emu war

When I was in Canberra I went on a day tour around the city. As part of the tour we went to the Australian War Memorial, inside I talked to the tour guide a bit and jokingly asked if they had anything about the emu war. He actually went to a lady who was working there and asked.
I almost couldn’t hold back my laughter. I’m sorry, Bob.
Class war
Was about to come here and say that I’m 32 and not obsessed with any war, but…
Class war.
Yes, I’m obsessed with class war.
Based
That’s what I was assigned
…that kind of encompasses all of them, and more.
Goes well beyond those, tho
Same :3
Napoleonic wars with specialization into the Naval aspect.
C’mon, so lame. I mean, I agree with the comments saying that being obsessed with a war is dumb, but obviously the right answer would be the Thirty Years War. Far more factions, more casus belli, more fights. Plus, it bolstered German nationalism, which led pretty directly to the Great War, which led to World War II, so those are technically part of its history.
But maybe I’m biased, because my surname originated in the Huguenot diaspora?
Because I’m older than the age range I’m required to be a contrarian and go with Peloponnesian War.
I wonder if anyone could analyze education about war (and fascism) and how it correlates with the downfall of the History Channel.
It used to be wall to wall WW2 documentaries. And prior to streaming, sometimes there was nothing else on. So the channel was on A LOT while I was growing up.
Then they started with the Ancient Aliens and Ice Road Truckers shit and eventually phased the actual history out entirely.
Now it seems like the people who grew up during that period know nothing about this shit.
I didn’t need the History channel when I was a kid to learn about fascism. I had a Grand Father that was in Europe and he didn’t talk much about the war a few of his buddies did and I read/looked at books. We were taught history in school as well. I had a teacher whose family had escaped from East Germany and she was an amazing teacher, a little left wing but that’s understandable. I grew up during the Cold War, when we still had Nukes on Canadian soil. Now we were always called “peace keepers”. That bothers me because during both wars Canadian soldiers were feared on the battlefield. The peace keeper name started with the UN missions but it was also the beginning of the end of our once great military.
At least with Pawn Stars they would loop the items back to history a lot of times. (Don’t actually remember if Pawn Stars was a history channel show.) But yeah, reality TV slop just filled so many channels.
Mine would probably be the Spanish civil war.
Most of the guys i know seem to have gotten Star Wars.
Clone war? Sweet!
Something something The North Crusade something
I am glad I am never alone…
Emu war
A decisive victory for the dinosaurs, if memory serves
Australians demonstrating their abilty to be incredibly unreasonable in fighting them, but also incredibly reasonable in giving up.
have you ever hung out with an emu? declaring war is perfectly reasonable.
The Cod Wars.
The Baked Bean War.
I was there, and I remember.
i was in the 23rd gravy regiment. there was brown and water everywhere.
Lucky. I got the Turbot War
In case anyone thought that it was made-up
Whale wars
Amen
what if you think being in to wars and history (The dry, battle of X kind of history, not cool shit like slave rebellions and famines) is kinda lame? Am I like a conscientious objector?
I feel the same. Like I can watch movies and shows about the material, but putting forth energy into learning about mass murder? Yeah miss me with that noise!
Welcome to the class war rebellion comrade.
War? Haven’t seen one in years … Oh that? Special military operation… This one? That’s a “conflict” but I can see your mistake.
Genocide? Sorry not familiar with that word
Yeah. The Falklands War was referred to as a conflict in the UK.
I feel like that’s justified though. Both sides were out in the middle of fuck all squabbling over a rock with a handful of people on it, very few civilian casualties, low stakes for both countries (well ok, maybe not for the specific governments, but neither side had to worry about being invaded anywhere that really mattered to them). Compared to something like the Ukraine war, it’s more of a skirmish.
EDIT: to be clear, I do not want the Falkland’s to be “my war”, it was a stupid war.
<sigh> I miss þe good old “police action.” Especially when it was overseas, unlike now.
