I decided to focus on wars of leftest and/or peasant uprisings. Often heart breaking, but man if you’ve ever enjoyed cheering for the underdog, they are definitely that. Plus, you’re automatically learning about the Class War at the same time

“WTF is Granada?”

[mpa92643@lemmy.world]

I’m partial to the War of Jenkins’ Ear myself

I got the 30 years war. I’m not disappointed

[brobot9000@lemmy.world]

How about no. No wars.

Being fans of mass graves and killing machines is weird.

[voyajer@lemmy.world]

So much to learn, we don’t even know how it ends yet

It’s probably just too broad to treat as one war, but I always return to reading the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Empire. So many poetic, cinematic moments that for western civilisation defined our subsequent history. Where are we if Crassus doesn’t desperately need a triumph but gets fed molten gold instead? If Marc Anthony and Cleopatra rule the Mediterranean from Alexandria? If a comet doesn’t convince half of Rome that Caesar is a literal God?

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.

Mine just says WW15 and has a picture of a green tiger in space

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

[intensely_human@lemm.ee]

I bet we’re all space tigers by then

May I recommend Summer of Blood: The Peasants’ Revolt of 1381 by Dan Jones?

My favourite war was the War on Everything

[valmond@lemmy.world]

Civil waooaoaooor!

[bunkyprewster@lemmy.world]

Napoleonic wars for this guy.

In the Pays d’en Haut Anglo settlers were moving in, French forts were rapidly expanding and militarizing, and both colonial powers were jockeying for Indigenous allies and exclusive trade partners. And in Acadia the oaths issue was still unresolved and considerable swaths of the country that France ‘ceded’ to Britain was under the control of the French-allied Wabanaki.

Another war was inevitable, Washington just lit the powderkeg.

The War of the Tiger Kings.

[happycampernz@lemmy.world]

Some one needs to play some crusader kings or EU4

[cypherpunks@lemmy.ml]

I can’t be the only Ersalrope Wars buff here, right?

and who really can go more than a few hours without thinking about the Koinonian Wars?
