Under international law, they were conflicts. And yet, the vietnam war'll still be know as the vietnam war. Same as korea, whatever diplomatic title it gets called. And a civil war is by definition a country fighting itself.
@harlequin2262 And yet you think Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq were wars. Seems pretty uneducated to me. You probably think that in 1861 America fought itself.
And in general that's pretty consistent. There's probably a small number that had convict ancestry, but in terms of percentages, they were very small indeed. Added to that the state of Law and Order in britain at the time meant that half of those convicts would have been there for little more than the equivalent of shoplifting a bottle of milk.
And Australian history is far from shitty. Overlooked, maybe. And I'm far from totally uneducated about America.
You don't get stingrays in petting zoos. Steve Irwin was far from a national hero, it was pretty much the bogan demographic that cared about him in that way. He was more of an american thing. Paul Hogan style. Most people mocked the crap out of him over here for the ham and the accent.
Most Australian's these days aren't descendants of the convicts. In truth we'd have a very small population if not for immigration. All grandparents were born in Scottland for me.

@harlequin2262 I agree, English Civil War was Englishmen vs. Englishmen. Although it was in two factions (like the ACW with COnfed and UUnion)

@harlequin2262 Except that America never fought itself. The United States of America fought the Confederate States of America. You ignorant buffoon.

@harlequin2262 Not in your petting zoos, in my petting zoos we have lots of them. I gave one a kiss. It tastes like fish.
