>American revolution
>American civil war
>iran-iraq war
>vietnam war
>gulf war
>invasion of iraq

These are all shit names for wars. I'm not even going to google the history of Vietnam, I know they've been in a war before the cold war. Whoever named the Persian gulf conflicts has failed at life and should be shot.

So not 30 then? Right.

Should've been called the 29 year war.

Fails the parameters set in the OP.

There has been more than one war in Indochina.

>>342146
>You now realize the United States has not formally declared war since World War II

Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Iraq, ect. are all "military interventions"

They were only 85 years apart. It would be less ridiculous and confusing if America entered a conflict today and called it "World War 1"

>The war to end all wars
>Multiple wars after it

Explain this

yeah because 7 years war and 30 years war were great names. Also Brits tend to call it the American revolution, Americans call it the War for independence. (Although you could argue the war for independence was a part of the revolutionary period)

A better name would have been REAL AMERICA vs delusional dissidents
>>
>>345189
You say it's rounding up, I say it's Europoors over-exaggerating the length of their war to make it sound more impressive.
>>
>>345270

They just didn't specify the number of significant figures in the name
>>
>>345554
And the best part is depending on who you ask each side will be different.

>>342149

>>345554
That's why it's also called the war of secession.
>>
>>342107
>from 1618 to 1648
>1648-1618=30

So there was war in 30 different years. It's the 30 years war, not "the war that lasted exactly 30 years, with all the months, weeks and days included".
>>
>>345531
The american civil war is not the only civil war that has happened in america
>>
>>345651
Either this is going to be a dumbass "America is continent not a country" argument or you pulling some shit out of your ass about how the American revolution was a Civil War. Either way I'm going to enjoy this.
