4. Thirty Years' War
5. War of the Austrian Succession
6. Anglo-Dutch Wars
7. War of the Spanish Succession

The French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, for sure. After that, probably World War I. 30 Years War is pretty interesting too.

Anyone else feel like this has to be a joke?

No wars are my favorite - how about none of the above.

- Alexander the Great’s conquests (especially as he goes farther east)
- Wars of the Diadochi
- Punic Wars
- Revolutionary War (American)
- Franco-Prussian War
- World War I
- World War II

Popular wars that I find interesting but for some reason can’t get that into at a deeper level include all the Mongol-related wars, the War of the Roses and Vietnam.

The most interesting ones for me are:

1. Vietnam War - I was always interested in the whole era politically and culturally
2. World War II
3. Korea War
4. American Civil War
5. World War I

Overall the Cold War is the era I'm most interested in historically, although not technically a war itsself.

War isn't what I'm most interested in in terms of history
