The American Civil War - despite the CSA initially outnumbering the Union by 60 brigades to 50, massive military and political bungling led to the CSA being virtually overrun by 1870 despite aid from several European Nations.
North German Tripolitanian War - an epic war, triggered by a complex web of alliances surrounding Tripoli, which ended with the NGF, Switzerland, Ethiopia, Abu Dhabi and the United Kingdom versus Tripoli and Spain. Tripoli peaced out to a humiliation, Switzerland was occupied, but white peaced at the behest of the French, while the Spanish and British fought several epic, high loss battles on Spanish soil, with losses on both sides running into 3 figures. Eventually, the Spanish kicked the British out of Gibraltar, and a British diplomat went against the will of the Crown and signed a binding peace deal with the Spanish returning Gibraltar to them.
