I also enjoy reading about Austerlitz, Poitiers, and Orleans, but I've never heard of #2 and #3.

Sweet victories

Especially the Battle of Marignan. I always thought the Swiss had far superior infantry than most of Europe in this time period.

You should really read about Marignan. Part of why Swiss became neutral, after a long period of going undefeated.

Incidentally, that battle was far more important in terms of long-term impacts to Swiss than it was to France (it basically once again made France so dangerous that the European powers once again allied against it.)

Most people have no clue about the Tripolitan War and the Battle of Derna, and about the Spanish American War battles, I have to admit I am a bit surprised

.
I did projects on both wars in high school, and I have to say the have some interesting battles.

I find that confusing. Tripoli was the first time America ever flexed it's overseas muscles, and the Spanish American war (Apart from having some spectacular land and naval battles) was a big point in American military growth.
