It is definitely not the case that these "plains war" were all crisisFishbellykanakaDude wrote: > These were all GD Crisis wars for the "indigenous". The only

wars for the indigenous people. Quite the opposite, in almost all
cases, they would only be crisis wars for the indigenous people if
they were also crisis wars for the nation -- i.e., a full-scale crisis
civil war.
The war going on in Syria today is an example of what can happen.
It's a civil war, but it's not a crisis civil war. In fact, it's much
more a proxy war today than a civil war.
So you have the Alawite government, and the "indigenous" Sunnis. It's
a brutal civil war, but the behaviors of both the government and the
Sunnis are clearly non-crisis. The Alawite army does not want to
fight, and the same is true of almost all Sunnis.
There would be similar issues in almost all of the "plains wars"
you've listed. Typically, the war would be half-hearted on both
sides, even if a lot of indigenous people are killed. A "generational
crisis war" is not defined by the number of people killed, but by the
behaviors of the people.
