On the commentary on War Stories, Tudyk says that he believed Wash served in the Unification War.

However, his ship was shot down or captured and he was put in a POW Camp where he spent the remainder of the war entertaining the other prisoners with shadow puppets.

The requests were handled according to their date of submission in the relevant category, When the quota in a specific district was met, subsequent requests from that district were relegated to handling as part of the district's quota for the following year.
The dispute led to the freezing of the quota policy in the West Bank until the beginning of 1998, when the quota-based family unification policy was reinstituted.
The fear was based on Israel's policy of rejecting such requests, on the grounds that the residents moved their "center of life" to a location outside the Occupied Territories.

 Manic Net Preacher: How The EU Advances
The next major war was the Austro-Prussian one, in 1866, which included all German states and Italy as allies of one or the other, and was won by Prussia at Königgrätz.
It was this war that was called "Seven Weeks War"; and this war can be called a 'spreading' of the Second Schleswig War - Bismarck provoked it by not keeping to promises over the joint control of conquered territory; and the Austrian-Italian part of this war was part of the wars for Unification of Italy.
This war was a direct consequence of the Spanish crown succession tussle after the 1868 Revolution, while the last Italian War of Unification was a sideshow to this war (Italy took its chance in September 1870 while France was unable to send troops).

 FireflyWiki.org - Firefly.UnificationWar
The Unification War started with Lao Anbiao's nomination as Chairperson in the elections of 2505, which triggered a declaration of secession from the Alliance from many colony worlds.
Leaders of the “Independent Faction” had long been waiting for an event that might unite the colonies against unification forces, and Anbiao’s hard-lined adherence to an Alliance of all colonized worlds was, most believed, the catalyst necessary.
For the duration of the war the blockade limits the ability of the rural Colonies to stay well-supplied in its war against the industrialized Core worlds.

 Korean Unification and US-Japan-ROK Cooperation - Dr. Yoo Seong-ok
There is a high possibility of an outbreak of a major war in the Korean peninsula, as it is the most densely militarized area in the world, and is still technically under a state of war.
Therefore, unification should be pursued by a gradual step-by-step approach in consideration of the high costs and the risk of instability in national security and economy.
This can be explained by the fact that a stable Korean peninsula through peaceful unification is far more useful and preferable to both the US and Japan in terms of their security and economic interests than an unstable, divided peninsula that has always had a high possibility of the recurrence of war.

 NOTM: Aftermath of the Korean Truce (July-August 1953)   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
Actually, the unification of Korea is now further away, not closer, than it was on the eve of the war, and if it is that much more remote we have the war to thank for that.
One might add that the unification of Korea, given the continued existence of either of the two present Korean regimes (let alone of both together), is realizable only in the dream world or as a shambles which would make the horror of Korea today look like serenity itself.
If, then, as the apologists so lamely say today, the aim of the war was to teach the aggressor a lesson – the war was fought, the land desolated, the economy destroyed, the mass graves and the unknown graves filled, the blood of the maimed and wounded drained, for nothing.

 H-Net Review: Wolfgang Hochbruck on On the Road to Total War. The American ...
Neither case for calling the ACW "total" satisfactorily proven, it is fortunate that the editors did not pursue the claim of putting the "total" tag on the American Civil War, or, for that matter, on one or all of the German Wars of Unification.
That both Neely and Grimsely deny the "totality" of the Civil War as a necessary reaction to the exalted claims of the "great alibi"-school does not preclude the applicability of the volume's central contention that Civil War and Franco-Prussian War showed the way for the road to total warfare.
Taking the issue beyond the boundaries of one or the other war, and rather than wallowing in one's own hemispheral blood and gore, the editors extend the scope of scholarly investigation to include both of the most significant wars of the decade--a genial idea for which they cannot be applauded too much.

This has drawn criticism from many who say the inauguration tab is inappropriate during times of war, while soldiers continue to die in Iraq.
Perhaps in such a critical time of war, President George W. Bush should have followed the footsteps of President Woodrow Wilson, who in 1913 canceled the celebration calling it "too expensive and unnecessary."
Although the inauguration may be a symbol of America's democracy, the administration should keep in mind there are other issues that should be at the forefront of our priorities such as the sacrifices of our soldiers in Iraq and the undergoing tsunami relief effort.
