    That war is pretty well-known. Most people most people link that to the First World War, though.

    the War, yes. But think of it, we got the Rescourse-rich UP, and you got the City of Toledo, so who Really won? Good ol' Michigan :D

    You're from Michigan? Where at? My whole family is from there. And I'm actually part Ojibwe (a native tribe from the UP).
    And yeah Toledo is a shitty place.

    Too bad lol. I've been told that Detroit is pretty scary.
    My ma's family is from some redneck town called South Lyon, just outside Detroit, they actually lived on 8 mile road. And my dad is from some even more redneck town south of Traverse City. Michigan is a fucking empty place though, nothing but backwoods bumblefuck towns and wooded areas for 98% of the land. I'm glad they moved to a slightly less redneck area with slightly less dangerous cities before I was born.

    It was a pretty worthless battle/war. Well technically we won the war/battle because we got what it was for.

    Yeah, the Portuguese didn't have only one colonial war.

    I may as well put names of rebellions in Brazil, but I don't think they fit the theme of "Huge wars".

    I'd like to point out the Austro-Prussian war of 1866-7.
