If you could only choose about 15 pre-21st century wars to read about for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Both World Wars are broken up into fronts and theaters; for example the Pacific Theater of WWII counts as a separate war than the North African campaign, which is a separate war to the Eastern Front, etc.

MASSIVE bonus points if you can bring yourself lower than 15.

For me,
>King Philip's War
>American Civil War
>Boshin War
>Satsuma Rebellion
>Serbian campaign (1914)
>1936 Palestine Revolt
>Pacific War
>1948 Arab-Israeli War
>Six-Day War
>Iran-Iraq War
>First Intifada
>First Liberian Civil War
>War in Croatia
13 is as low as I can go. I can't chop out anything on here, basically.

Can I get a detailed description of the Mongol campaigns as a package?

>>18176743
>Yugoslav wars
Given OP counted the War in Croatia separately, I think those would count as at least four wars, but up to six.

I’m surprised there aren’t more ancient wars in these lists, especially pre-Greece. There aren’t many surviving records but they are of great interest and significance.

Greek-Persian Wars
Peloponnesian War

Second Punic War
Caesar's Civil War
Seven Years War
