Needs some consistency in type-ins. For example China gets you Chinese Civil War but Greece doesn't get Greek Civil War. Instead of Central American Crisis perhaps separate rows for Guatemala and Nicaragua or at least a type in. Vietnam for Indochina; at least the second one. Perhaps accept Zimbabwe for Rhodesia, Bangladesh for Chittagong, India for Naxalite, etc

Cuba and Grenada are missing. Hungary (1956) Poland (various) Berlin Airlift, Prague Spring, Baltic Forest Brothers, and Trieste are also missing. is the Maoist insurgency in Nepal included?

Nice attempt. Difficult to do as a quiz.... given all the different type ins possible.

thanks for the feedback, I have added your suggestions. The Maoist insurgency in Nepal/Nepali Civil War will not be added, as that happened after the end of the cold war
