![]() ![]() Other ones that don't fit neatly into a template mentioned but can still be construed as templates maybe: The Continuation War, the Napoleonic Wars, and the Yom Kippur War ( War). ![]() Plus, the more generic wars: Great War, Civil War, Succession War, War (or just "Resource War," as in Fallout), Revolutionary War, Unification War, and - War to name a few. There's also War (Vietnam, Iraq, Falklands, etc.). Clearly if the war was recent or still in progress, no historian would've had time to write down an account of the war and name it on top of that. Thank you! What was especially eye-opening to me, as simple as it may be, was the point about calling recent/on-going wars "The War" for realism. My story is set in a low fantasy medieval world.ĮDIT: I've read through each reply and they've all been immensely helpful. And if I knew I still wouldn't know how to name them. Were they just pointless peasant rebellions or something more meaningful? I don't know. However, I'm completely stumped when it comes to naming them and thinking of the reasons for these conflicts. We killed the Bad Guy but not before he killed the Good Guy. I'm trying to riddle my world's history with a few wars of note that I can hint to and reference as the story progresses.
