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.

Too long.

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

I quite agree.

They sure as shit don't last 100 years!

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

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

that depends on what's being fought over.

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

What causes them to end so quickly?

Describe this war.

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

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

It was called the Hundred Years War, and it was fought between England and France in order to establish who had rights to the French throne.

Or something. That's what is says in my history book.

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

Was this recent?

A fair bit of both, I would say.

At the moment, everything is... mostly calm.

Have there been any wars "post-ShinRa"?

Heck no. Neither France or England operate under monarchies anymore. It started in 1337 and ended in 1453.

The kind where the fate of humanity rests in the balance. You know that kind of thing.

I see. And how long has it been since the last notable war?

And the year for you now is...?

I assume you mean after ShinRa was established. There was the Midgar-Wutai war, in which we invaded the nation of Wutai and then most recently what we dub the Midgar-JENOVA war.

2009!

What does it involve?

If you forgive my honesty, I highly doubt it is for the same reason.
