now THATS a forgotten war.. interesting

The Barbary Wars, America's first overseas conflict.

Only fighting we did on the Eastern Front in WW1 was after the October Revolution.

Basically, after we liberated that shithole from its colonial master, the savages decided to have a chimpout and we had to suppress them and teach them to wear pants and go to school and civilize them and all that.

We failed.

at least its not a dictatorial shithole without privacy like china...
right?

>what are the details of the conflict
Basically after we defeated you guys we took all your overseas colonies, including the Philippines in the peace treaty. The Filipinos who had been fighting you for their independence wanted a constitutional republic. We had promised Cuba its independence and that was the pretext for the whole war, but as for the Philippines we said "lol no, give us your rubber and fruit", defeated the armed forces of the Philippine Republic, and continued to brutally suppress the rebels for about ~20 years until they were more-or-less all dead. Ironically it cost us 10x as many dead and wounded fighting them as we lost fighting you.

Not sure if it applies to other countries involved by Korean War is often called Canada's Forgotten War. There is never commemoration of it, nothing about the veterans of the war, etc.

WW1. It's overshadowed by Civil War and WW2.

>The Filipinos who had been fighting you for their independence wanted a constitutional republic

Problem was, there was no Filipino national identity back then, just tribalism so they were ready to go and butcher each other. The McKinley Administration disliked the idea of abandoning the islands because then it meant we went through all the trouble of liberating them from Spain only to get nothing but a bunch of jungle monkeys hacking at each other with machetes. And then one of the European powers would probably march in and claim the Philippines for themselves.

we have far too many to count
really? but like 1.7 million people died

Probably embarrassed because you killed your enemies, and therefore they won.

>but like 1.7 million people died
More people died in the Civil War. I'm not even talking about WW2.

all we study about russia in WW1 is that it was too backwards and antiquated compared to other armies and entered civil war in 1917 withdrawing from WW1 with many territories lost when the commies took over

War with Finland in 1940th, perhaps.

No it's just embarrassing that you parrot fake Jow Forums quotes.

Because there was no Poland back then

weird that ww1 isn't well remembered because it's really the catalyst where everything went wrong with your country

Most Americans don't remember the War of 1812 and Brits don't either but Canadians are literally obsessed with the thing and had a celebration of its 200th anniversary in 2012.

AFAIK /ex-yu/fags don't really remember WWI much either, just WWII. Like Russia it probably had to do with commies trying to airbrush pre-communist history out of existence.

In Soviet times WW1 was claimed as Imperialistic War. No one paid any attention to it until recently.
>where everything went wrong with your country
No, it wasn't some kind of a turning point. Even if such a point exists, it would be much deeper in the past.

With Russia always anything wrong. It doesn't depend on time or authorities.

A lot of people at my school didnt know much about the west and assum3d we stole it from the Mexicans rather than beat them in battles and buy it off them.

Also all of our early 20th century i terventions in Central America

>Also all of our early 20th century i terventions in Central America
Those aren't really "wars".

Based Franco

but you stole it from us

>we stole it from the Mexicans rather than beat them in battles and buy it off them.
2BH it was basically the same thing. They couldn't say "no".

>in Central America
Call of Duty describes it exactly good.

I'd say with yugofags their national unity was largely grown out of the multi rthnic partisian movement of ww2. pre ww1 yugoslavia had some isdues with autonomy and ethnic tension

Shutup you dumb Czech

Galicia–Volhynia Wars
When Lithuanians supported Golden Horde

I heard that the regions we took were mostly native rather than Spanish speaking. I also heard thst Californians identified more with california rather than mexico long before we showed up

>start war you can't win
>lose war
>lose clay
>so unfair

Please point out Poland on this map

What about grenada?

Krakow dutchy existed before WW1

The Korean War is not forgotten though, the issue of Korea is talked about every month and it has been called so many times The Forgotten War that is not forgotten anymore. It may have been forgotten during the 60s-90s, but that's not true today.

About Spain, yeah the Ifni War is for sure a very forgotten war, I would add for instance the Conquest of Indochina, Spanish troops actually captured Saigon for the French (unironically)

are those spaniards or moroccans in the pic?

Tibet getting cucked reportedly by us and china saving their ass always.

Panama intervention?

The Virginia theater in the Civil War gets vastly more attention than the West.

that was more a glorified DEA drug bust than a war

mmm spanish mausers

Tbh Poles focus a lot on their military history, so we remember our relevant wars, however many Poles forget about single people or units fighting on obscure fronts
>These two Poles who played a key role in creating American cavalry and engineering corps during US independence war
>That one Pole who died defending independence of Madagascar from French
>That one Polish unit that was sent by French to put down Haiti slave rebellion, and ended up joining it
>That one Polish officer who was killed by angry mob in Cairo during service in Naloleon's army
>That one Polish brigade serving in Union army during American civil war
>That one Polish brigade fighting for White Russians in Siberia
>That one Polish brigade fighting for republicans in Spanish civil war
>That one Polish fighter ace who flew for American flying tigers in China
>That one Polish pilot that became a mercenary in Biafra and Katanga
>That one Polish mercenary who fought communists in Congo and Yemen
>That one Polish correspondent fighting Soviets in Afghanistan
