So similar it was guaranteed they'd fight wars so numerous they started being named just by duration.

Kind of like Greeks and Trojans, or Judeans and Samaritans.

Imagine being in the Thirty Years Wars and you realize it's year 29 so the end is near

Imagine it's year 9 of the Nine Years War and then they're like "just joking, it's the second Hundred Years War".

No, they are very good at giving accurate names beforehand like the War to almost End War

Or the Scots and other Scots.

Damn Scots! They ruined Scotland!
