Greek Civil War?

 

[Steph]

It's a civil war, but not in Greece

 

[thetrooper]

The Spanish civil war?

 

[Steph]

The Spanish civil war?

We are getting very very close now

 

[thetrooper]

Hmm... So the new 'smoking habit' was a demonstration to intervention in the Spanish civil war (fascist side)?

Or do you imply that I'm very very close in time frame...

The first step would be to be a bit more specific about Spanish civil war.

 

[thetrooper]

I'm afraid that my knowledge of the Spanish civil war is quite limited even though I read an article about it a couple of months ago. Heck, I probably picked the wrong Spanish civil war too...



Let's see what others might come up with.

 

[Steph]

The "fascist" word in your first proposal would make it likely

 

[Olav]

Something to do with the International Brigades?

 

[Steph]

wrong civil war

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

The Peninsular Campaign?

 

[innonimatu]

If it's a civil war, it must have been one of the carlist wars.

 

[Steph]

If it's a civil war, it must have been one of the carlist wars.

Ah, even closer...

 

[thetrooper]

I think we should wrap up this one pretty soon...

 

[Atticus]

Wasn't there a war after Napoleon in Spain, when they tried to decide if they would have a monarchy or republic? Don't remember the years though.

 

[Steph]

Ok, I'll give the answer as you are all beating around the bush

It was during the Carlist war of 1820-1823, triggered a rebellion after the restored Spanish Monarchy decided not to apply the constitution of 1812.

France was given a mandate to help protect the monarchy, and raised a 100,000 men army, the "Sons of Saint Louis", who were sent to Spain, and beat the rebels.

The French soldiers there picked the habit to smoke in public, and came back with it.

Can anyone step in, or should innonimatu since he was closest?

 

[innonimatu]

Sorry, only noticed your question now. As far as I'm concerned please go ahead and step in. I don't have any good question to post for now.

 

[carmen510]

In the Battle of Koniggratz, which technological factor helped the Prussians win?

Bonus: When was that technological factor invented, by who, and what was it advantage over others in its category?

 

[Cheezy the Wiz]

Was it a rifled cannon?
