Err sorry Steve.
Not Spanish war succession (was around 1700-1715, roughly).
But 7 Years wars: 1756-1763 (even beginned earlier in America ! ).

Sorry , my mistake. Might it be "war of the austrian succession"? [&:]

On this one i am not sure. Usually i am quite good at history, but here, i admit i am not sure.
But it seems to me that this are 2 differents war. War of Austrian succession (but my lessons were 20 years ago !!!) was, in my memory, around 1745;
(yeah, this would mean not a lot of peace on European continent in this centuy....).

OK... French & Indian war=7 years war=War of Conquest. Fought immediately after the afore mentioned wars. I guess I was running them together. Sorry. [8|]
Europe did have an awful lot of wars in that period , and my problem is 1) My european civ courses were more than 30 years ago ,2) the wars all had different names , depending on who you are talking to. [:D]

Anyway, i am trying to figure how "Anglais" became "Yankee" in indian language [&:][:D]

You can blame the entire state of texas for that one.[:'(]

You 're right, that's why people don't understand...and when they don't understand, they don't trust each others....and start lying and cheating....and it usually end up by a war AFTER talking about...a war....

I can blame Texas for many things...[:D]....but it's innocent of that one. Yankee's were around long before Texans or even Texicans were. [:D]

My favorite still is the trade war called "The war of Jenkin's ear" (by the British). [:D]

I am at the Mediterranean Conference in Cavtat near Dubrovnik for the next week...

Thats quite a lesson in medieval fortification. I'd bet that Jack Aubrey wouldnt be cutting any ships out of this harbor. [:D]

Yep... this is one of the most beautiful sea medieval cities in Europe...

Leo "Apollo11"

Looks really nice! Enjoy, Leo!

Hmmm...you guys hear about this stuff going on? Note: 'rough' language used in video.

Dude-I know that. My question was meant to illustrate that the concepts of "Yankee" and "Southerner" are foreign to Californians. There's Californians and...well...a bunch of other dudes all of whom wish they were in California. Except for the East Coast thang. That ain't nothing but a G-thang, boyyy.

Well, I'm from the Valley. Thats a double whammie. [:D]

Dude---I know that. Actually the best explaination of Yankee/Rebel/Californian came from a Movie. A Tom Cruise movie , may God help us. "Days of Thunder". When the pit chief tries to Quantify the new driver , a californian , for a southern pit crew member! [:D]


"If you're from California, you're not a Yankee. You're not really anything."

We like it that way. Incidentally. Did you know that Californians are the only Americans who dont have an accent?

We will see! [:D] So when are you going to "kick my @ss"? [&:] I seem to recall out last match up was a draw. Extremely bloody , but a draw none the less! [:D]

I was thinking about it. Since I got the offer my mood had definitely improved by lightyears. But I'm not sure how much time I would be able to devote to the game when I have a new position to learn.

Like I'm going to have so flippin much time?[:D] That's why I play small scenarios. It's five minutes a turn. [:)]

Ha! In a small scenario, what would otherwise have been an embarrassing screw-up turns into complete defeat. [:D]

And by pure coincidence, its start (supposedly) involved an ear that belonged to a guy named Jenkins. [X(]
