I think Japan still would have invaded the Soviet Union though, if the Second Sino-Japanese War continued (the oil embargo only really happened once they invaded Indochina).
Other than that I agree with you. That would be curious alternate reality.
Which war is the most exciting to learn about

No I’m not a mod, nor do I want to. It’s just halting the poll.

The Napoleonic Wars, although I dislike calling it that, as it implies Napoleon was responsible for every conflict that erupted during that time.

So what do you call it.

Just the Napoleonic Era. I usually just call it the “Napoleonic Wars” if I need to be more specific.

Continue your discussion about the Texan history if necessary
-
Any war involving decisive naval battles(no, Jutland isn’t one), especially ones involving the Royal (Canadian, Australian, Indian, etc.) Navy
-
Yes, I would agree with you Calvin…good addition…
With naval battles being interesting, or Jutland not being decisive?

Mind you that wasn’t a war in itself. It’d be like calling D-Day the War of 1944, right?
So what do you call the war the North Americans call the War of 1812?

Punic Wars. They determined control of the Mediterranean and cemented Rome’s prime position for 600 years to come.

Next thing you know people on the street will say “Carthage must be destroyed!”

Cold war baby! How close we came to actually throwing nukes at each other will always fascinate me. My second choice would have been the “Star Wars” between the Star Trekkers and the Star Wars fans at Comic con that one year. :mrgreen:

Before there was Ali vs Frasier, there was Rome vs Carthage.

I sometimes say it to people on the street. It’s in the signature of all of my e-mails (and my AAA.org posts).
Another interesting war is the Greek and Persian wars. Themistocles and Leonidas are really interesting. I don’t know why but all of those ancient Mediterranean wars were really cool.

WW2, Cold war, War of Terror, Vietnam War, Korean War, and Middle eastern war all lead back to World war 1. Just think about it.
But I like WW2. BIGGEST WAR OF ALL TIME! Thats why A&A exists

As much rich history there is in Both Modern World Wars, I had to vote other. The reason is, I find the Vietnam War the most interesting because a Jungle dwelling 3rd world Nation Beat down and kicked around a modern Super power, using nothing more then AK -47’s, the jungle, and a few modern weapons supplied from out side influences.
One has to ask them selves, how does a nation that has to import all it’s weapons, compete with and win a fight against a country with a arsenal of weapons that includes Nuclear power and Nukes. I just don’t get it…
I understand the politics and politicians involved are a huge reason why the US lost that war. It surely was not the fighting will of the men involved or the equipment they used, but more when they(the Soldiers) were allowed and how to use said weapons.
Even by reading and or watching the book/movie we were soldiers, seeing how 375 US troops could fight off 4000 NVA is remarkable, but never the less makes that conflict more interesting then ever
