Earth is destroyed by an alien attack.

The War of Austrian Secession.

The nations of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, led by Otto von Habsburg (with funding from the United States) launch a massive revolt against the German State shortly after the death of the Fuehrer Adolf Hitler, in 1965; it ultimately combined with several other revolts, leading to the total collapse of the German State's empire outside old Germany by 1970.

The War of Bush's Nose

[King James IX]

The War of Bush's Nose

American President George W. Bush III, on a visit to the Aztec Free-state, is captured and parts of his body are cut off in ceremonial fashion, by the Mayan King. His nose is the only part of him that makes it back to the White House. This begins a war between the Aztec-Cascadia alliance (known as the Wronged) and the US-Canada alliance (known as the Allies.)

La Guerre Sans Fin

[Roger II]

A war between France and a independent Principality of Navarre. When all parties decided to stop fighting, it was discovered that the royal seal needed to sign the peace treaty was missing and it would be thus impossible to conclude a official peace and besides nobody actually wanted to admit they lost. Eventually, after some time of slowly ebbing interest in fighting, everyone agreed to just leave things alone and have a stick-fight every once in a while. Today, the "War without End" as it is called, continues mainly as a sort of biannual street festival and t tourist draw for tiny Navarre.

[Massa Chief]

The centuries-old civil wars in what was France, starting in the 1100s. Much of this war has been with outside powers- the Germans, for example, moved to the Rhone and to Calais, and the Scottish Empire still holds Brittany. As the feudal system died out, one noble side was replaced by republicans, and other noble states were replaced after that by varying levels of left-wing regimes. The varying states only united against foreign aggression- it is the only thing keeping France as an actual idea alive.

The war without end has become an integral part of French culture, and after 853 years, the wars (although interspersed with ceasefires and the like) are the French. The wars, however, may be drawing to a close, as Theosocialist forces move from their bases in Normandy and Paris down south, crushing monarchist, fascist and republican opposition.

(Damn, ninja'd.)

Anyways- The War of Ethiopian Supremacy.

Anyways- The War of Ethiopian Supremacy.
War between Egypt, Ethiopia, Adal and Portugal, where Ethiopia was able to triumph in the Battle of Mogadishu. The Egyptians acquiesced to a peace in 1839 following the sacking of Cairo, and became by and large, a vassal state.

The 1st Mughal Campaign in Europe

[Massa Chief]

With the Mughals owning everything from Mesopotamia to the Indus as part of the ancient Timurid inheritance, they decided to enforce Mongol claims across the Urals. Russia destroyed their hosts, and managed to take and raze much of Central Asia, including the Rape of Samarkand. This catastrophe (late 17th century) heavily weakened the Mughals, and the Second Mughal Campaign, a desperate Trans-Caspian effort to strike at the Caucasus, led to Russian conquest of the rest of their empire, culminating in the conversion of the last Mughal princess and her marriage to the Tsarevich.

War of Maori Ascension/Maori Conquest of Southeast Australia.
The Maori Free State, backed by France, managed to attack Australia in several raids, and with modern weapons, successfully penetrated the island, killing many of the settlers, and establishing dominance there. The Maori dominance was not to last, as the French eventually annexed them, but in the present day, it is seen as an important victory for nationalists.

War of American Kamchatka

[Theodore Gladstone]

During the Crimean War, British forces capture several pacific ports, including New Kamchatka in Russian Alyeska. The Americans view this as a violation of the Monroe Doctrine and go to war. After the 2nd burning of Washington and the secession attempts in multiple states, Britain returns to the war in Europe.

Who's Who War

[King James IX]

Who's Who War

A war waged over a particular English general's frustration at not being able to identify friends at a Masquerade Ball. It is unclear exactly who fought, where, and who the victors were, as the highest levels of stealth technology were used to block radar, sonar, and radio signals. In addition to this, all the soldiers were required to wear masks.

Cinco de Mayo

[azander12]

War of American Kamchatka

After the purchase of Sakhalin Island and the southern half of the Kamchatka Peninsula from a stagnant Russian Empire by the United States in 1889, American prospectors and settlers had poured into the newly-created Far Eastern Territory. In 1961, a revanchist Russian military junta led by Brigadier General Josef Markov invaded the territory. The Americans quickly beat back the invasion, leading to the collapse of the junta and the restoration of democracy in the Third Russian Republic.


Cinco de Mayo

A short border skirmish fought between the California Republic and Workers' Republic of Mexico

The War of the Irish Succession

[eliphas8]

War Of American Kamchatka
A colonial skirmish between Russia and a few very lost American cattle rustlers.

Byzantine Ming War Of Agression

[Badshah]

The War of the Irish Succession
When a dispute over the Irish crown begins between Ludwig von Babenburg and Ernst von Habsburg, war breaks out between their forces. The Baben burg lands in Austria and the Netherlands, along with their ally, Milan, Parma and Provence, managed to beat back the Habsburg Swiss and French forces. It ended with a decisive Babenburg victory, and the addition of Ireland to Ludwig von Babenburg.


Cinco de Mayo
A Mexican rebellion led by Frenchman Antoine De Orléans. It was a failure and its leaders executed. However, the death of the Frenchman led to the Franco-Mexican War in 1857. In a surprise attack Mexico was able to sink French ships before they actually arrived, leading to France's humiliation, and the Rise of the Mexican Empire.

The 1867 War of Canadian Independence

[King James IX]

A colonial skirmish between Russia and a few very lost American cattle rustlers.

Which war is this supposed to be? It certainly doesn't sound like Irish Succession.

Byzantine War Of Southern Siberia

A religiously-fueled Byzantine revivalist cult waged war on 'the Unholies' in Southern Siberia in 1978. They were soon crushed by Eurasian intervention.



The 1867 War of Canadian Independence

After the Charlottetown Conference was crashed by anti-dominion terrorists said to be working for the Crown, war broke out among the colonies. Britain, utterly befuddled, sent troops there, which only fueled more fighting, as the pro-dominionists thought they were reinforcements. America intervened on the side of Britain, and in the end annexed Nova Scotia, most of Upper Canada and British Columbia. Lower Canada, PEI and New Brunswick formed the Dominion of Canada, while Newfoundland stayed loyal to Britain, and Manitoba declared independence.

[Massa Chief]

The French-Metis people of Canada, whom made up the majority of the province, rose up against the British Empire concurrently with the Irish and the Boers. The new state conformed to the American border, which denied the new Republique du Canada any access to the Great Lakes.


Spanish Conquest of Vietnam

[Municipal Engines]

The 1867 War of Canadian Independence:

War where the Canadians - conquered by the USA during the War of 1810 - secured their independence from the Americans in the wake of the American Civil War. Noted for large amounts of help from the Anglo-Celtic Confederation and being one of the first major steps towards the creation of the New British Empire.

The Dawkinian Wars

[Massa Chief]

A series of very harsh debates between theologians and the Dawkins-Hitchens atheist duo.


Spanish Conquest of Vietnam

[Stars-and-Stripes]

After the successful Austrian invasion of their homeland, the French had to sell colonies to other countries for money to fight the enemy. The colony of Vietnam had already been abandoned and the Spanish saw their chance. The conquest was highly successful and this reopened Spanish belief that they were still the colonial masters of the world, even if no one else thought so. The conquest would put the British on red alert and tensions would increase between the two powers until... The Spanish War of the South China Sea

[King James IX]

The Spanish War of the South China Sea

After many failed foolish attempts at colonizing Asia in the early 1700s, the Spanish finally decided to go "all for nothing". They attempted an invasion of Taiwan in 1734, and ended up being booted out of Asia, with half of their colonies in America being divided between China, Japan, Russia and Britain.

The Twin Wars

[Municipal Engines]

The Twin Wars:

Series of civil wars between the armies so-called "God Twins". These two set themselves up in the Americas before Columbus arrived. They came bearing advanced weapons and knowledge - unknown even to European society (it is still not known where they came across these technologies, but the prevailing theories are that they made them themselves) - and conquered a vast empire spanning from the northern parts of Mesoamerica to the southern points of the former Incan Empire.

The brothers fell out after decades of ruling and the Northern Emperor (who controlled Mesoamerica) seceded from what he saw as an empire dominated by his older brother. The resulting wars were devastating to the Americas, and caused a massive exodus of the northern Mesoamerican peoples into the lands occupied by the Indian Americans.

These are significant for the formation of the Empire of the Feathered Serpent, which soon occupied large parts of the west of North America, and the massive reformations in the Holy Sun Imperium.

Sino-Swiss Wars

[King James IX]

The Sisters' War.

Read the OP.

[Badshah]

Sino-Swiss Wars

The Sisters' War.

(do we have to specify the country?)
The Sino-Swiss Wars were the seven engagements between the Chinese Empire and the Swiss Kingdom. The penultimate one was also called the Sisters' War, based on the fact that the Japanese Emperor had married off his two daughters to both China and the Swiss Kingdom, and was started when they got into a fight with each other, boiling into a large conflict that ultimately led to the dismantlement of the Kingdom and its annexation into China. The sister was ultimately left shamed and was rumored to have committed seppuku in the Alps, before being confronted by enemy troops.

The Scots-American War of 1777

[Massa Chief]

The 'Free Kingdom of the Scots' sprung up in Southern Appalachia under a few clans, now "High Nobility". It was promptly destroyed by British troops, who, tired and hungry, were then destroyed by American troops.
