Based on the threads recently started to name and describe a timeline. Somebody names a war, and somebody else creates a description to match it.

Based on the previous thread of the same name.



To begin:

The Novaya Zemlyan Civil War

The First, Second and Third Wars of Remembrance.
 
Wars starting on the 11th of November, lasting a month, between the BNP and the Terrorist organisation Anonymous. 1st in 2012, then every consecutive year.

The 44.4 millisecond war
 
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
 
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.
 
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
 
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
 
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
 
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
 
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.
 
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
 
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
