[quote name='Pyrrian' date='Apr 28 2005, 04:58 PM']Ooh! Ooh! I love trivia!
Civil War
American Revolution (Yes, yes, parliament had been long established. Remember no taxation without representation? That was representation in parliament they wanted.)
War of 1812

civil war wasnt two democracies.
in the american revolution it was a colony with no form of political system. (and england isnt a democracy)
1812, again england is not a democracy, and i dont think the french were either.

just forgot that the first democracy was formed AFTER our revolutionary war, and every thing that you listed was prior to the war.....

Haha, the civil war (1861) and war of 1812 happened before the American Revolution (which happened in 1775)? I think you're counting the wrong way!
