Is it really that unheard of for a major world-wide war to last one hundred years? How long to wars on your worlds last?

OOC: Sensitive topic warning- this thread with Minerva (corkscrewcurls) involves discussion of genocide and the Holocaust.

Four thousand years.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

... Now that sounds a bit excessive. What sort of war is it?

[thelastsolidor.livejournal.com]

Too long.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

I quite agree.

[8fingerswhiskey.livejournal.com]

They sure as shit don't last 100 years!

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

What causes them to end so quickly?

[pandorabox]

Longest war in history on my world actually lasted 116 years.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Describe this war.

[doomedyouth00.livejournal.com]

It's not so much the duration as the fact that they continue to take place.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Ah, I see. So the wars don't accomplish much, then?

[corkscrewcurls.livejournal.com]

that depends on what's being fought over.

One could argue the war over religion hasn't and probably will never end.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Does the "war" over religion involve armies and battles, or is it merely theoretical?

[shinra-pwnsjoo.livejournal.com]

The longest war - pre-ShinRa, was probably several hundred years in span.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Have there been any wars "post-ShinRa"?

[gritode-guerra.livejournal.com]

Grudge wars tend to last longer than that. Small in scale, but when someone is fighting for more than two hundred years, it's hardly small, is it?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That depends on how many it affects.

[oceanicbutterfly]

My world is essentially the same as Kaito's.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

You're a year behind him, correct?

[death-chopper.livejournal.com]

Four million years, and any Autobot who tries to tell you it's over is delusional.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That's the record so far.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Hm.

[thricedeadwind.livejournal.com]

Such would depend on the war.

Some events listed by other members of this forum above have occurred within my own reality's history.

Perhaps the more pertinent question would be, how long would peace happen to last upon these many worlds?

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

That wasn't the question I was asking, however.

[eboshimustdie.livejournal.com]

Try since the beginning of human-kind.

((...I don't know if San's still blocked or not but...:|))

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

Of course you would say that.

OOC: She's not; I never know how long blocks are supposed to last, so I just make them entry-specific. XD So outside of the entry that she was blocked in, she's good.

[oncethebeloved.livejournal.com]

The longest was over three hundred years, but that was almost seven hundred years ago.

Modern technology places wars in under ten years, but the effects are as devastating as any long-drawn out war.

[peoplesprincess.livejournal.com]

What sort of technology? Guns?
