This quiz is very weird, for one it has "War" as a type in for many and has only 1 very long type in for others, I think you should fix that, and also see if you got all the wars. I still nominated this quiz because I think it has the potential to be one of my favorites so keep it up!

Chinese Civil and Russian Civil don't work. The word "war" must be typed, which is redundant to what we're looking for.
