List of Wars for Case Assignment #1

Below is a list of 50 wars since World War II.  Select 6 of them and cut and paste their names, years, and URL into a document on your computer.

The First Part of the 1st Case Study is to simply select 6 wars that you will use as the wars you analyze in that case study. For now, please just select 6 you are most interested in.  I will provide the description of the Case Assignment soon (and in plenty of time for you to do the assignment before it is due, so please just select your 6 wars to study now).

You may NOT use the Russian invasion of Ukraine in your case study!!! However, you SHOULD think about whether the causes of the wars you examine apply to that conflict!
