The Great War

Refers to the First World War, 1914-1918. Not as popular as World War Two is today, as American film producers have not made as many films about it, most likely because it would make the U.S look weak the U.S. as their country had very little to do with the war.

The Great War was the war that defined warfare for probably a very long time. Armies, unused to light infantry battles and the use of tactics over numbers, found themselves in a stalemate, "dug in" at opposing trenches that stretched for miles and miles. This warfare was particularly gruesome, as the cramped and dangerous conditions led to many serious diseases, both mental and physical. The phrase "over the top" was created in this war, when frustrated army commanders ordered their soldiers to simply get out of their trenches and charge the enemy positions. When units went "over the top," it was common for the entire unit to be completely wiped out, resulting in the deaths of thousands in a few hours.

The war itself was brought about due to rising tensions in Europe and the web of alliances that existed. When the Austrian Archduke Ferdinand was assassinated by Serbian terrorists, Austria blamed Russia, as Russia had always promised to protect Serbia should Austria look to seize it. Following this outbreak, Germany and Italy declared war on Russia's ally France, whereupon Britain was inevitably thrown into the fray.

Rememberance Day parades are held every year in every town in most of Europe (not sure about the U.S?) to remember the veterans who fought in it. Hundreds of local military personnel attend the parade and there is a Church service with the famous words being read (usually by a veteran):

They shall not grow old as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

My great grandad fought and died at the Somme in the Great War.

World War III

A future war in which several major nation of our planet will be involved in. One possibility is a war between China and U.S. The war could be started with a N. Korea invasion of S. Korea. In which most likely N. Korea is turned back by the U.S. and S. Korea. At this point China comes in to save N. Korea and a World War breaks out. The war would take place in Korea and both navies fighting each other in the Pacific Ocean. Conflicts would also be stired up in the middle east in where both countries try to secure oil reserves for fighting the war. The war would most likely end with a cease fire after thousands die and both economies are devastated by not having the trade between the two nations. If over 20 nukes are set off enough dust would be stired up into the sky to block out the sun causing a nuclear winter (nice way to cancle out global warming). The world would be in an ice age only worsening the situation for both countries. America might win but only if China breaks out in a civil war.

Another possible war could be between the western world and the middle east. Though unlikely because the Quran accepts Christianty as the same god and the west accepts all religions or no religion whatever. It could happen if the west keeps screwing over the middle east like it has been for the past well... I guess since the west was. Like I said its unlikely because your average arab and American have no interest in killing each other and those are the people that will fight each other. If it does happen it would likely spark by an invasion of Iran. Iran will be devastated and suicide bombings will be going off in elementary schools across America and sick stuff like that. Causing American soldiers to be brutal to Iranians which then get the whole middle east against America and the western world.
I truly don't know what could happen with a culture clash like this and I hope it doesn't happen.

Both possibilities should be avoided and can be. By not trying to start any more wars, recognizing China as a major power and allowing Iran to have nuclear energy as long as they let the U.N. observe them, war can be avoided. China has no interest in going to war with America because they would lose their economy and likely never regain it. The middle east won't go to war with the west. And if Iran tries to start something and the U.S. responds they will likely take the U.S.'s side, unless Bush invades Iran then it will get bad.
Peace be with you my brothers and sisters.

The furry war

The furry war is the war to eliminate all furries. There are two groups of people fighting, the furries, and the anti furries. There have been two furry wars one back in YouTube in 2007 and one right not in tick tock in 2018.

Did you hear about the furry war

yell-down war hell ride

1) What Birdman does to you if you tresspass on his property (as sited by Wesley Willis)

2) When someone yells at you until you go crazy

"Birdman beat me to a pulp
He gave me a yell-down war hell ride
He told me that he was going to kill me if I don't get off his real estate
He gave five minutes to get in my Bronco and hit the rookie road"
--Wesley Willis (Birdman Kicked My Ass)

Indian War Horse

When you fist a girl on her period and then slap her ass with an open hand. Looks like the red handprint on a painted Indian war horse.

(Dude #1) Dude, I gave Jessica an Indian War Horse!
(Dude #2) Aw man, was it awesome?
(Dude #1) No, I passed out from the blood.

Also known as the Spankwire mascot.

Nudge War

A war using MSN's nudge function to annoy people, but can be turned off by anybody with an ounce of knowledge. Because now you can only send a certain amount of nudges in a minute, you have to use an MSN patch to have a proper nudge war.

An example of a Nudge War:
Ginge: I will destroy you at *insert rubbish game here*
(Ginge just sent you a nudge)
Merrywether: Like I care, don't nudge me you Noob Biscuit, I'm doing coursework
(You sent Ginge a nudge)
(Ginge just sent you a nudge)
Ginge: Nudge Nudge Nudge!
Merryweather: Umrei!
(You sent Ginge a nudge)
(You sent Ginge a nudge)
(You sent Ginge a nudge)
