I've got class war, which is a real doozy.

My sheet says "rome"

Uh oh

Hell yeah, I got the Dominion War. Time for another DS9 rewatch.

I'm the War on Christmas guy, and I'm getting my ass handed to me every single year.

I participated in the war on drugs...

The best class I took in college was an intercession course about the Vietnam War. We had to read an entire book pretty much every day, which was great prep for grad school.

I basically learned that the entire war was completely unjustified, it was horrific and brutal on both sides in ways that aren’t talked about, but that ultimately the United States had absolutely no business interfering. Vietnam had spent years under French colonial control, which they overthrew under their own power. They had already asserted a desire to rule themselves.

Tonkin was also a genuine false flag, which just isn’t acknowledged? We manufactured the cause for an extremely unpopular war. So many young man died or were disabled because of something that was pointless.

That class was first that really got me to question the patriotic narrative I was taught about American history in high school.

All I got was Star Wars

The seven years war is fantastic and is utterly critical to understanding the US Revolution as well as understanding how the Iroquois pulled a power move on the other first nations that worked, but later led to the current situation with first nations in North America.

On the revolution: Namely that corruption was so endemic in the colonies that when the UK actually started to do something about it the revolution happened albeit with a lot of pushing from the upper crust of the colonies.

Due to a typo, I ended up with "The Cod War"

I got the Emu War

WWIII nut here.

Get yourself a Red Cross emergency kit, a lot of water jugs, and ramen. You're underestimating your chances of survival and how much you'll want to.

But which civil war...

Huh. "Galactic Civil War" and "War of the Ring."

Neat. Wizards in both!

WWI was objectively the most world changing and sets the stage for the entire modern era, if you squint WWII was just the Extended Edition of WWI all that being said WWIII was still my favorite.

War of the Roses, winner of Best Named War ;)

i got the soviet-afghan war and wow did that recontextualize a lot of things about the modern world

I missed the memo. I am just generally anti war and don't like reading about them. War is all because of dickhead leaders that can't act decent, treat others right, or talk things out without being little insecure manbabies. And when manchildren in power have their big boi pp insulted they make the less powerful fight for them instead of doing anything respectful. Some rebellions which lead to wars are justified. Gotta stick it back to the empowered manchildren sometimes. But it all comes down to a shitty leader.

Yo professor, which Falkland Islands you talking about?

The seven year war, which is what the rest of the world calls the French Indian war should actually have been called World War One.

It was also started by an incompetent 22 year old George Washington being sent out in his first command who ignored the equivalent of the sergeant put in charge of the new lieutenant advice and executed a French person he shouldn't have.

The taxes that started the revolutionary war? Those were to pay the war debts on the seven year war. Dude literally led an army to avoid paying the consequences of his actions.

EDIT: it's also possible to draw "ALL WARS"

I got the Cola Wars

pfft. enlist when you're 18, you'll get a whole new war.

The galactic civil war....

Sweet! I got Star Wars!

I'm glad I missed this.

btw, did you know that the Australian government killed almost 1000 Emus in the Great Emu War and still lost?

The military used over 10,000 rounds of ammunition. that would mean they used around 10 rounds per Emu.

Mine just says WW3, should I be concerned?

Hey, the Falklands is the one I'm obsessed with and it's actually really interesting. Only "modern" war between near peers before ukraine.

I listened to Hardcore History's series on World War I in that window, so that was my assigned war of interest.

I got the second Punic war, but I think that's just a freebie. I also spent a lot learning about the Falkland's war just to annoy Argentinians online.
