Talk:List of wars: 1800–1899

The US actually didn't lose the second seminole war.

I organized the wars into categories of a decade, as you can see now in the article. I did this because the list was quite long, and navigation is somewhat simpler now. If you don't agree with the split-up, please respond :) Also, isn't there some template for these 'lists of wars'? Because the thing on top of the article with the other lists could also fit in such a 'related articles' box you see on other articles. I'll try to make such a template myself one of these days, I think. Goingin 21:13, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

War of Knives a US war?

I see that War of Knives has a US flag, but there is no mention of the US in the article. GloverEpp (talk) 12:59, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

It's a mistake. B-Machine (talk) 20:28, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

War of 1812 - who's the winner

I see that the US is in the loser column for the war of 1812? Is that so? GloverEpp (talk) 14:32, 26 October 2010 (UTC)

    It certainly shouldn't be the winner either.
    The war of 1812 was a perfect example of a draw with a return to Status quo ante bellum.

I see the situation is now reversed....? I'm coming down on the side of a score draw! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.27.50.137 (talk) 18:55, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article has it down as a 'score draw' as the above poster suggests. As the article states winner/loser 'if applicable' I suggest we put it down as 'Status Quo Ante Bellum' in the interests of consistency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.127.211.120 (talk) 13:13, 19 December 2012 (UTC)

Did the British monarchy take over the USA after the war? I think not. While I agree that this conflict was basically a draw between the UK (and what is now Canada) & the USA, the USA did gain some territory in the Gulf Coast area. The Native Americans were the real eventual "losers" of this conflict IMHO. Guy1890 (talk) 05:55, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Personally, I dislike the "winner if applicable" column because it asserts that every conflict has a winner simply by how the belligerents are listed, and the two column format also asserts that every conflict has precisely two sides. It would be better to list all the belligerents in a single cell and mark the victor(s) (if applicable) by an asterisk. This assumes, of course, that it even matters at all to emphasize the winner.

The protracted guerrilla struggle needs an entry. See Wiki pages on Fra Diavolo, Sigisbert Hugo, etc. Al-Nofi (talk) 17:41, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
