	The New Zealand Wars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Whenever the term ‘the New Zealand Wars’ is used, the Maori—settler conflicts that occurred between 1843 and 1872 are generally being referred to.
		Where the Wars are perceived to have been a part of a whole, then broad causes and overarching reasons for war are suggested.
		For its part, the Crown believed Maori to have been in rebellion, against the Crown’s sole authority to govern, an authority conferred upon it (it argued) by the Treaty of Waitangi.

	Napoleonic Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		These wars revolutionized the European army and artillery, as well as military systems, and were of a scale never before seen, mainly due to the application of modern mass conscription.
		Because the revolution and Napoleon's reign witnessed the first application of the lessons of the 18th century's wars on trade and dynastic disputes, it is often falsely assumed that such ideas were the fruit of the revolution rather than ideas which found their implementation in it.
		The War of the Fifth Coalition ended with the Treaty of Schönbrunn (October 14, 1809).

	Wars of Religion
		With the Huguenot heartland in the south virtually untouched and the royal treasury hemorrhaging, the crown's position was weak and Catherine bent her efforts towards a settlement.
		This third war was more protracted, and brought the war to the rural areas in central and southern France, spreading the suffering to the population and raising the cultural tensions between Catholics and Protestants.
		The fourth war was set off when the city of La Rochelle, the de facto capital of the Protestants, refused to pay taxes to the king because of the massacre and refused admittance to the royal governor.

	Faerun Timeline
		The War of Three Leaves: The unification of the Satyrwood is thwarted by dark elven Ilythiiri spies and assassins, killing their leaders and framing opposing heirs, driving the three realms to a multifront war.
		The two greatest events of the Crown Wars that still have impact on the Realms are the Dark Disaster and the Descent of the Drow.
		Perhaps due to the savagery of the Crown Wars or other factors long lost to time, the Dark Elves became corrupt during this era, broke away from their brethren, and after much warfare and cruelty they descended beneath the planet's surface to become the Deep Elves, the drow.

	Wars, of Religion Part 2
		The Catholicity of the crown, and the special sacral role of "The Most Christian King", were principles widely assumed to be fundamental to the constitution of France.
		Henri IV brought the war out of the south and into the north, which he knew was critical if he wanted to be king of France and not just king in Gascony.
		At this point, Henri IV made his "perilous leap" and abjured his faith in July 1593, in the church of St. Denis, reputedly with the famous witticism that "Paris is worth a mass." A coronation was arranged for him at Chartres, rather than at the traditional Reims, which was in the hands of the League.

	French Wars of Religion - Origins
		The reigns of Francis I and Henry II are known as the period of Renaissance Monarchy, and are generally associated with an increase in royal authority.
		Also, the Crown's method of raising funds and ensuring noble loyalty, the sale of offices or venality, also threatened to undermine the traditional authority of the Crown, as the governors increased in power.
		In this, the role of the nobility was pivotal: the growth of royal authority in tandem with that of the nobility could not be sustained, and inexorably the greater nobility tore apart royal authority "as lions their prey" (Salmon).

	Reagalia
		The crown of Christian IV was recovered in 1648 for the coronation of his son, Frederick III, but the remaining Danish regalia were lost, so in the same year a new orb and a new sceptre were commissioned.
		It is a corona clausa or closed crown made in the shape of a circlet with eight palmettes and arches surmounted by an enamel globe with a cross on its top.
		The crown was used at all the coronations from 1731 to 1840 and at the lying-in-state of the Danish queens in the 18th century.

	The New Zealand Wars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
		Another name, the Colonial New Zealand Wars is also used, especially by Tim Ryan and Bill Parham in the title of their lavishly illustrated and well written book.
		This name suggests that the wars were a civil war (much in the American sense) fought between Maori and new European settlers/the Crown.
		And, on the question of 'civil wars', some historians have recently suggested that the New Zealand Wars were really civil wars fought between a number of Maori tribes, with settlers and the Crown almost relegated to the role of bystanders.

	BBC - Shropshire - History - Blore Heath: The Wars of the Roses
		The Wars of the Roses were a series of conflicts fought over control of the crown, essentially between members of the same family - The Plantagenets.
		The third and final war was started by Richard III's seizing of the throne after the death of his elder brother Edward in 1483 and arranging the deaths of Edward's sons, the true heirs to the throne.
		Before the wars, the land was packed with powerful noblemen with their own private armies, but the wars helped break the power of the nobility, as well as ending the age of chivalry.

		The colonists knew that the Crown was protecting her own interests, those of the Hudson Bay Trading Company and the East India Tea Company.

	Lost Empires of Faerûn Excerpt
		The series of vicious, bloody wars that destroyed the ancient realms of the elves has come to be known as the Crown Wars.
		Historians and philosophers debate whether the Crown Wars were the impetus for the many subsequent tragedies that befell the elves, or whether they were merely the earliest recorded example of that race's propensity for disaster.
		The Crown Wars era is quite possibly the single greatest shame in the history of the elf race, and the elves have no desire to share the details with outsiders.

		Although ostensibly triggered by European affairs, the Nine Years’ War (1689-97), the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-14) and the War of the Austrian Succession (1740-8) were mirrored by imperial conflicts outside of Europe.
		The first of these (“King William’s War”) was inaugurated by the outbreak of the Nine Years War and resolved through the Treaty of Rijswijk (1697).
		When “King George’s War” was declared between France and Britain in 1744, however, the colonists of New England and New France were reinforced by troops from their respective mother countries.
