If you're anything like me, you grew up reading about years-long, 20th Century wars between major powers and nation states. I've always felt it strange to call a conflict of only a few days (Six Days War), or maybe one between states and non-state groups (Mexican Drug War) a "war," but I guess if there's warfare, it's a War.

According to Wikipedia, the shortest war in history lasted something like 37 minutes.
