	Lots of problems with this. "Revolution" should be "American Revolution". "Wars of the French Revolution" should just be "French Revolution". "Spainish" should be "Spanish". "Isreal" should be "Israel". And I don't think the last one really counts as a historical war.

	The First Punic War was between Rome and Carthage - Greece was not involved

	johnlk:	Sep 26th, 2009 at 21:19 GMT	7 points
	Same deal with Second Punic War. The Norman invasion was in 1066, not 1068. The War of the Roses was an English civil war, not a war between France and England. England had no involvement in the Thirty Years War, which was fought by various German states, France, and Sweden, primarily.

	The French Revolution was not a war. There were French Revolutionary Wars, but those were between France and foreign countries. There was a civil war within France itself, but it was not between the upper class and the lower class - most of the royalists were peasants from the Vendee

	"Chinese-Japanese War" is not a term I've ever seen before - It's Sino-Japanese War. There's no "Italian War of Independence" per se, and 1861-1865 was actually a period of peace - the wars that brought about Italian unification were fought in 1859-1860 and 1866. World War I and World War II don't work, which is ridiculous. Neither does "War on Terrorism," which is the most common name.

	Last one ought to go. Need to accept more alternate answers, such as World War I for World War 1.

	SPU:	Sep 28th, 2009 at 00:36 GMT	3 points
	I know the "October War" as the "Yom Kippur War", which should be at least accepted. Like the ones at 1956 and 1967, it was not only Israel vs. Egypt (1956 was Egypt vs. UK, France, Israel, 1967 was Israel vs. Egypt, Jordan, Syria; 1973 was Israel vs. Syria, Egypt). Characterizing the 1949 war as "Israel vs. Palestine" is also a bit inaccurate, as there was no Palestinian state and various other existing Arab states were involved. The "War Against Terrorism" should really be the "War on Terror", which is its most common name (if it should be in here at all).

	Treemeister:	Sep 28th, 2009 at 01:44 GMT	5 points
	The "War on Terror" is not the name of a military conflict, but the Bush administration's nickname for U.S. counter-terrorism policies. The name is no longer used by the Obama administration or any government.

	1967 is israel vs almost any middle eastern country you can think of same with 1948-49 also this quiz is already on sporcle although i do think that some of these wars should be on the official sporcle quiz

	The War of the Roses did not involve France, it was between the Houses of York and Lancaster in England. Suez War was only the Suez Crisis. I second the Yom Kippur War as acceptable. I had never heard of the October War. Lastly, maybe since I'm American, I only knew the Mexican-American War as the Mexican War.

	the last one should accept "global war on terrorism" or "gwot". That is the term used by our military. (im in the air force)

	I tried WWI, WW1 and World War One but it didn't work

	If the question is asking for wars, it's kind of ridiculous to make people include the word "war" in their answers. Typing in "First Punic" should suffice.

	maroolat:	Nov 27th, 2009 at 17:32 GMT	6 points
	This quiz is ridiculous. I spent more time figuring out what I was supposed to type than coming up with answers. Some of the answers are just wrong too. It should be Israeli War of Independence, War on Terror, Sino-Japanese War, Norman Conquest, and Yom Kippur War. Some of the answers are flat-out spelled wrong. Also, Greece was not involved in the Punic Wars, those were Rome and Carthage. Also, Normandy was not involved in the War of the Roses. Please proofread and fact check your quiz before posting it.

	Punic Wars were between Rome and Carthage.

	This quiz is bad, and you should feel bad for having posted it and making no corrections. Tons of errors and bad spelling. Fail.

	You know, every war was probably important in some way, but in asking for some of the most important in world history the Seven Years War was somehow omitted? It dictated the future of North America and India, nevermind Europe. War of 1812 was really part of the broader Napoleonic conflict. The Mongol wave of invasions aren't mentioned either. Pretty weak.

	Isreal war of independence? You forgot the Isfake war of independence.
