“World War 3? There hasn’t even been a 3rd world war yet…”
“That one comes with paranoid delusion as a bonus!”
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 am glad I am never alone…
World Wars are for the war machine fanatics. That’s really where it starts for a lot of people.
The American Civil War is mostly where you’ll find revisionists and southerners, but there are also true enthusiasts. There’s a lot of discussion in regards to the Mexican-American War priming the country for the Civil War, or discussion regarding the politics of the time and it’s impact on the course of the war.
Falklands? I want to assume that if you’re British then you’d like to forget this ever happened. Although the war did result in the disposal of a dictator and brought a country into the folds of democracy even if it had to occur over what is essentially a colonial territory dispute.
French and Indian War? I’d just say you enjoy colonial era history? Or you’re currently living in the area that it occurred.
Napoleonic wars with specialization into the Naval aspect.
Which civil 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.
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.
The French & Indian War was a good one. Fun fact: George Washington started it as a young British officer. He was assigned to partner with a contingent of Indians to take back a remote fort that the French had occupied.
After a fierce battle, the British/Indian side prevailed, and entered the fort. They spotted the French commander, sitting on the ground, slumped against a wall, gravely wounded. They approached him, Washington preparing to speak to him, when the Indian leader, walked right up to the French commander, split his skull with a tomahawk, and washed his hands with commander’s brains, while a shocked Washington tried to control his nausea.
And that was the beginning of the French & Indian War.
Spanish civil war, battle of Blair mountain, and every battle in the war for international workers liberation.
