theres always the war of Jenkins ear (i believe its Jenkins) It was a war between 2 countries (i don't remember which) that fought because one guy from a country cut off a guy (Jenkin) ear (who was from another). it started just because of that
I find the Civil War- all civil wars to be ridiculous. In the United States the North and South acted really childish in my opinion. and I don't believe a country should ever turn on its self.
It was a war between 2 countries (i don't remember which) that fought because one guy from a country cut off a guy (Jenkin) ear (who was from another).
The cutting of his ear was just the spark. The keg of powder, trade and political disputes between Spain and Britain from the War of the Quadruple Alliance, was already there, waiting to be ignited.
"This foreign country does not agree with what we believe and/or is obstructing something we want to accomplish. Let's kill as many people from that country as we can to show our superiority. Maybe then we'll come to an agreement."
i find it a little offensive for all who fall in these wars.
guys, war is not just a game or a say "lets war" by politicians. the Vietnam war was about communism {or rather to say, russian domination} against democracy. same as in korea. but in korea the west was able to keep some of korea as a democracy. in vietnam the west failed.
oh god dammet myyca, just read the story of the battle and now i cant stop laughing... Interrupted my train of thought
but remmeber, every war about "stuiped reason" as a background of hate and Interests. teh first world war didnt start because of the assassination. it started because everyone want to be the alpha dog. since we bite each other to death to wher we mostly just threat or shoot missles, its about power and survival. some times its conquering, and some time a rivalry, like the french-british one for centuries, or the chinese japanese one. so no ernie, i dont think that wars are stuiped. wiki some of them, look for there reasons. if australia will demand that tokelau is an australian land and try to conquer it {yea it sound silly but just go along with me}, woulndt you fight back?
but there are some misrebel and funny stories in them.
the pig war. Rest in peace poor pig! your death was not in vain!

Land is land, people are people. If Australia wants to obtain Tokelau officially, they can work something out with the Tokelauans and avoid bloodshed. Killing all the Tokelauans would prove nothing more than that the Australians are power-hungry and bloodthirsty, and that they don't see the Tokelauans as people, but instead as obstacles that can easily be eliminated in order to reach their goal of achieving more land.
The Tokelauans obviously have no choice but to fight back now because the Australians have a much larger army and are not willing to listen to any Tokelauan proposition, but they're only fighting to survive, not to gain anything.
Switching out of hypothetical mode, I would like to point out that the likelihood of a federal democracy and constitutional monarchy attacking and attempting to conquer a colony of New Zealand is quite small. Having said that, the idea of Australia attacking Tokelau is about as silly to me as the idea behind any war.
