Hey, the Falklands is the one I'm obsessed with and it's actually really interesting. Only "modern" war between near peers before ukraine.

I fought in the Cola Wars as a member of Dr Pepper's insurgency
I got The Late Night Wars. I'm on Team Coco, obviously.
I got Brood.
My case was Paraguay War a few weeks ago and I learned so damn much that school completely glossed over. What surprised me the most was just how much of a madman Solano Lopez, the Paraguayan dictator, was. You dare bring bad news to him? You bet your ass you'll be flogged. You failed to follow one of his suicidal orders? Off to forced labor camp. You didn't put him above God and Christ? Say your prayers, you'll be ~~shot~~ bayoneted in order to save bullets.

make it 80!
100 if they can
100 years war
The machine give me the Horus Heresy. I can confirm it was right.
You know, I don't think there's a single war I Care about more than any other...
Now technological era, on the other hand.... I'm a sucker for anything from Europe/Mediterranean coast from the 1200s-1500s.
And who doesn't love exploring early human history from Gobekli Tepe to Ur.
Fascinating stuff.
It's probably just too broad to treat as one war, but I always return to reading the fall of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Empire. So many poetic, cinematic moments that for western civilisation defined our subsequent history. Where are we if Crassus doesn't desperately need a triumph but gets fed molten gold instead? If Marc Anthony and Cleopatra rule the Mediterranean from Alexandria? If a comet doesn't convince half of Rome that Caesar is a literal God?
