| **[[AH.com Civil War]]** - The original one. Later developed into an eponymous storyline by [[Fenwick]]. | **[[AH.com Civil War]]** - The original one. Later developed into an eponymous storyline by [[Fenwick]]. |

| | **[[September Fourth Duel]]** - Gentlemanly duel of [[offtopic:Zyzzyva]] and [[offtopic:Susano]] over the masculinity of Freecell and Solitaire. No, really. |

| **[[Great Schism|The Great Schism]]** - The first [[ah.com religions|religiously motivated]] civil war in AH.com's history. Started one beautiful day when [[Flocculencio]], bored out of his skull, declared himself "Pope Awesome I.". Within hours, there were already several antipopes and rising new religious movements and churches. Roll over, Wars of Religion ! You've met your match ! Eventually, the conflict gradually petered out and AH.commers went on to search for new wacky running jokes to fight wars over. ;-) | **[[Great Schism|The Great Schism]]** - The first [[ah.com religions|religiously motivated]] civil war in AH.com's history.

| **[[The Colour Scheme War]]** - //Nearly started// over the board's long-term [[resources:map colour schemes|dispute about which colour to use on]] [[resources:maps|AH maps]]. A unique war, because it got narrowly averted thanks to diplomatic goodwill. Many AH.commers were afraid of it escalating into the most destructive conflict the board has ever seen. Ideas for an //**[[stories:AH.com The Series]]**//-like work chronicling the bitter paintshed of the war were drawn, but they never materialized due to the war not getting off the ground. Major factions of this short-lived conflict included the "[[Greensheviks]]" (who prefer to colour Russia green) and the "[[Goldilocks]]" (who preferred to colour Russia gold). There were several small neutral factions too (e.g. Petike's [[resources:colour_it_whatever_you_like|colouranarchist-leaning]] "[[Map Marauders]]"). The Colour Scheme War has been likened to the Trent Affair, the Phony War and (especially) the Russian Civil War - partly because of them being done to death in mainstream AH and on this board. | **[[The Colour Scheme War]]** - //Nearly started// over the board's long-term [[resources:map colour schemes|dispute about which colour to use on]] [[resources:maps|AH maps]].

| **[[The Pony Wars]]** - The latest and most convoluted of the four conflicts. It surpassed even the scary predictions and expectations originally applied to the UCS War. Even poor Ian the Admin [[http://www.alternatehistory.com/discussion/showpost.php?p=5547481&postcount=204|was forced to get involved]]. It has yet to come to an end and leaves the ultimate question - who will be the victor that writes history - unanswered for now. Please don't confuse it with the/a P(h)ony War, because it's anything but. You. Have. Been. Warned. (Update : The wars ended by early 2012 with an uneasy, but hopefully everlasting armistice.) | **[[The Pony Wars]]** - The latest and most convoluted of the four conflicts.

| **[[November Riot]]** - Multiple members were either kicked or banned in the aftermath of the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, in two main waves. As on November 14th, 2015, it is currently the largest mass banning in history. | **[[November Riot]]** - Multiple members were either kicked or banned in the aftermath of the 2015 Paris terrorist attacks, in two main waves.

| **The Move Crisis** - In the aftermath of a controversial unbanning, several members threatened to leave the site altogether. Fortunately, the major effects of said crisis were averted, thanks to the hypothetical [[offtopic:thandian-meadow_effect|Thandean-Meadow Effect.]] Sadly, a few members kicked during the crisis asked to be permanently banned, despite the respite. | **The Move Crisis** - In the aftermath of a controversial unbanning, several members threatened to leave the site altogether.
