It's hard to pick, IMHO! War of 1812 had Canada as an enemy, the only time Canadians were ever considered the badasses, and the only nation who made it all the way to the White House and burned it. Plus, didn't the US need the fuckin' FRENCH to bail them out of this one? Viva la Resist'ance! The Civil War was essentially the end of the United States as a bunch of separate entities, and turned them into a centrally controlled nation. Even TODAY, people are STILL bitter about it in some ways. That's passion. Plus, it gave us the Klu Klux Klan, white people who dress like ghosts, burn crosses, and are fearful of being 'bred out' of existence. It almost reads like a bad Tolkien spinoff. The Great War I don't know too much about, but it gave us mustard gas, the first use of tanks, the Red Baron, the establishment of Germans as the major badass of the 20th century, and horses charging into battle with some guy going do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-dooo on his trumphet. World War II will probably win this contest. In any war video game, most people like World War II more than the other wars. Unlike other wars, this one gave us a true good vs. evil scenario to rally around. Hitler was killin' the Jews, we got the Normandy invasion, Winston Churchill leading the UK while drunk half the time, and the biggest motherfucking bomb ever to go off as the grand finale! The Korean War - um, what the fuck was this about? I think we were trying to protect Korea from Communism. This war still hasn't been won, and millions are still suffering because of it. Vietnam - gave us guerilla warfare, Napalm (which we like the smell of, in the morning), the phrase "me love you long time", jumping jack flashes, and some fake John Kerry medals. Plus, it gave us a rockin' CCR soundtrack that I'll always associate with the Vietnam War. Operation Desert Shield/Storm/The Iraqi War is still going on today. One of the most controversial wars, next to Vietnam, it seems to be a war fought more on the public relations side than in the trenches. Still, it's a cool war because of all the technology involved. We got MOABS, stealth fighters, cruise missles, unmanned killer drones, etc. And on the other side, we got suicide bombers, beheadings, women and children raising up AK-47's, and torture, oh yes, the torture of the bad guys! There were many other wars, like what the ancient Greeks and Romans used to do, like that story with the Trojan Horse in it, but I don't know enough about those to mention them here. Feel free to list others which you think deserve mention.
By the stuff you said in American Revolution..don't you mean War of 1812.. All the WH being burned and stuff?
Da Big One. Dubblya Dubblya Two. 'Cause my dad was in it, it had the coolest airplanes, and I know more about it than the others.
No Toledo War? Ohio wins and secures Toledo area for itself, while Michigan is compensated with what would later prove a very resource-rich Upper Peninsula. Did the winner really win?
Have I ever mentioned that I'm a bit of a Civil War buff? Also WW2. Greatest aircraft ever! They didn't have airplanes during the Civil War. But they did have hot air balloons and a submarine.
Gotta be WWII. There were clear-cut reasons for the Allies to fight, and there were clear-cut enemies. WWI falls short because it killed at least a generation of Frenchmen, something I don't think they've gotten over yet.
World War 3 Because it never happened Of wars where there was notable loss of life. The Falklands War. Only 1,000 people killed. UK got their islands back. Argentina got democracy back. And the improvisation during the war by the British was fascinating. Such as getting parts for the Vulcan bombers out of museums.
That's pretty funny. Do you mean the "little guy" in the North who was armed and supported by China first and then the Soviet Union and who signed a peace treaty in 1973 after failing to dominate the South? Or do you mean the "little guy" in the South that was crushed when the little guy in the North broke the peace treaty and invaded in 1975, after the "big bully" had mostly gone home?
Grenada. Just kidding. Gotta go with WWII here for interest. Of course, you could go back to WWI and really show where America started to go really, really wrong.
