Huge wars that most people forgot or never heard of.

I'm talking about the next generation of people knowing about the wars. I still remember in high school history class when talking about world war 1 that a depressingly large amount of people saying "is that the one with Hitler"?

But of course i'm up in Canada and i'm not sure how history is taught anywhere else. One of the only things I remember in my class were the hour long lectures about the Confederation of Canada.

Well I don't know how much CANADA would be interested in the Korean War, but heaven forbid that you forget the First World War.
And yes, I remember distantly people in my history class asking that question, as depressing as it was and however much I try to oppress it.

I don't specialize in Canadian history, but... um... let us just say that you don't seem a very... worldly nation. You don't put your hands in other people's buisness [which is a pretty adrimable thing] so you don't have that much history about some wars.

I can understand people up here not knowing about the war of the roses, but I don't understand people not knowing about the Korean war. I mean we contributed, like at Kap'yong were we prevented a breakthrough of the UN forces lines. (also we had M.A.S.H up here to)

Also now that I think about it, people who think the first World war had Hitler in it would technically be right.

Yeah, but if you don't clarify what capacity he was in...

The Indochina War.
Now I know people do know about it, but it's usually just tacked on to the Vietnam War.

Why are people listing the Korean War? Literally anyone worth their shit will have heard of the Korean War. Try the Russian Civil War that went on after the Russian Revolution hit. That shit was crazy, and most people don't even know it happened.

Never heard of it? Like did anything important happen because of it at all?

USSR? Oh you mean Stalinland.

Stalinland is best land, only evil Finnish people can defeat Stalin's armies.

Great Emu War.

My god, so did like the Emu's use machine guns?

Boxer rebellion

The fall of Yugoslavia. It wasnt big as others, but it was a crucial war in south east Europe. The last war in Europe.

My grandfather was in the 103rd flightless division. Barely made it out with his life.
