	Great quiz! Love to see Canada represented. Only thing is to make the required answers less specific. Should accept "WWI" instead of "World War One" Awesome Work :)

	You need to allow some other names for the wars, e.g. Desert Storm, Kuwait, Iraqi-Kuwait War, Iraqi invasion of Kuwait, Mackenzie's Rebellion, etc.

	Thanks for the feedback! I will add in WWI and WWWII. And will throw in Desert Storm as well. Mackenzie's Rebellion is a litte too much I think...Every time I have seen it documented its always been "The Rebellion of 1837", but if there are more people that are suprised by the no "Mackenzie's Rebellion" than I will change it as well. The hardest one being the "French Iroqouis War". I looked a bit, but couldn't find any other names for it?

	i think you should have a bonus for the 1838-39 bloodless, undeclared aroostook war with the united states over a boundary dispute between maine and new brunswick/quebec

	Good quiz. If you are pre confederation wars, then why not add the American Revolutionary War?

	"Plains of Abraham is probably the most famous battle in North American history." I strongly disagree

	wtncffts:	Sep 5th, 2010 at 00:57 GMT		1 point
	@treemeister2: I completely agree. There are probably at least a dozen American Civil War battles which are more famous.

	treemeister2 and wtncffts: Well completely my own opinion on the plains of Abraham. I think the possibilities are endless if the french won and were able to regain their territories which at that time surrounded the 13 colonies. Possibly no American revolution or civil war. Again though my opinion and I am glad you dispute it.

	And wtncffts I would love to hear how and why there is at least a dozen civil war battles that could rival it in importance. (and not being sarcastic, but would love to hear some different opinions.)

	NationalHero:	Sep 5th, 2010 at 01:36 GMT		1 point
	by the way American revolution added. Thanks for the input!

	@NationalHero: Fame and Importance are different things. I agree with you about the importance of what happened on the plains of Abraham, but I would assume that 'the most famous battle in NA history' would be one that the most North Americans would be familiar with. Since most North Americans are from the US, I think there are many Civil War, even Revolutionary battles that are more well-known. I'm not an expert on either of those two wars, but Gettysburg, Antietam, Bull Run, Fort Sumter, Vicksburg, maybe, Yorktown, lexington and concord, etc. By the way, I'm Canadian myself.

	totally agree. Going to change "famous" to "one of the most important". It is probably the most famous battle in Canadian history, (along with dieppe and passchendale) but I can see your point that most americans would have more knowldege of certain civil war and revolution battles.

	Loved the quiz, although I did get stuck on the 1837 question - "MacKenzie's Rebellion" is how I'd heard it referred to. Have you thought of including the peacekeeping missions?

	Pengwn:	Sep 6th, 2010 at 06:17 GMT		1 point
	Speaking of rebellions, the Riel (or Northwest) Rebellion of 1885 should certainly be on this list. Perhaps even the FLQ crisis of 1970

	NationalHero:	Sep 6th, 2010 at 15:02 GMT		1 point
	Northwest/Riel Rebellion is in. I still don't think "MacKenzie's Rebellion" is accurate, since there was a Lower Canada version as well that didn't include Mackenzie in 1837.

	AdamBishop:	Sep 7th, 2010 at 12:38 GMT		1 point
	What about Riel's first rebellion at Red River? The French/Iroquois wars are also called the "Beaver Wars".

	NationalHero:	Sep 7th, 2010 at 16:14 GMT		1 point
	"Beaver Wars" has been put in as an alternate name for the French Iroquois war. Also I have added the Red River Rebellion. Thanks for the input.

	There were two rebellions in 1837; the Upper Canada Rebellion and the Lower Canada Rebellion. They were distinct, separate conflicts, although occurring at roughly the same time. I'd make either rebellion an acceptable answer.
