Perhaps some could call the WOT a 'conflict'....The French and Indian War was deemed a nine year conflict....

[KLP Note: However, I believe this is a War....until the Islamofacists and related terrorists decide they can believe as they wish, and that the rest of the world can believe as they wish...I will continue to call the "Conflict" I have with them WAR.]

>>>>The French and Indian War was a nine-year conflict (1754-1763) in North America and was one of the theatres of the Seven Years' War. The conflict was between Britain and its colonies on one side and France, with Indian allies, on the other. The war soon spread to Europe itself and Britain and France continued battling. Native Americans fought for both sides but primarily alongside the French. The major battles include French victories at Fort William Henry, Fort Ticonderoga, and against the Braddock Expedition and British victories at Louisburg, Fort Niagara, Fort Duquesne, and at the Plains of Abraham outside of Quebec City, in which James Wolfe defeated a French garrison led by Louis-Joseph de Montcalm. <<<<(Cont'd at link above)

Or like the French.........

>>>In French Canada, the designation French and Indian War is merely unknown. The war of 1754-1763 is rather called: Guerre de la conquête (War of the Conquest) since it is the war where French Canada was conquered by the British and became part of the North-American portion of the Empire.<<< (part of the above link...)
