World Wars are for the war machine fanatics. That's really where it starts for a lot of people.

The American Civil War is mostly where you'll find revisionists and southerners, but there are also true enthusiasts. There's a lot of discussion in regards to the Mexican-American War priming the country for the Civil War, or discussion regarding the politics of the time and it's impact on the course of the war.

Falklands? I want to assume that if you're British then you'd like to forget this ever happened. Although the war did result in the disposal of a dictator and brought a country into the folds of democracy even if it had to occur over what is essentially a colonial territory dispute.

French and Indian War? I'd just say you enjoy colonial era history? Or you're currently living in the area that it occurred.
