We all know nobody or everybody are the "bad guys" in war, but there are exceptions and I'm looking for them.
Post wars and battles where one side was objectively just and right, while the other seemed to be operating out of pure malice without reason and has no defensible qualities.
Examples:
Irish War of Independence (Good = Irish, Bad = UK)
Siege of Khartoum (Good = Gordon, Bad = Mahdists)
This should be easy with how many conflicts muslims and Ottomans were involved with.
>>1866810
American War of Independence (Britain: good, 13 Colonies: literally ISIS)
Ottomans = pure and good
Serbs = hellspawns
Good = The citizen army defender of Liberty
Bad = Corrupt monarchies that attacked them to restore the old order
>>1866810
Battle of the Ice (good Novgorod, bad Teutonic order)
Battle of Bannockburn (good Scotland, bad England)
Battle of Britain (good Britain, bad Nazis)
I want some bad v bad battles
>>1866842
>Battle of Britain (good Britain, bad Nazis)
But Britain attacked them first
>>1866842
>I want some bad v bad battles
Eastern Front of WW2

How are the Sudanese the bad guys for defending their land and faith from British imperialists and their Egyptian puppets?
Gordon was a power-hungry gloryhound and the Brits at home recognised that.
>>1866835
>>1866850
>>1866926
All correct.
>Peloponnesian War
Sparta and her allies liberating the Greeks from Athenian tyranny. Even the Athenians knew they were the bad guys, they were just too greedy to stop.
>American Civil War
Union and democracy vs the remnants of the old aristocratic order. It was essential for the democratic experiment to succeed in America. It was certainly worth the cost at the time, but the current American "democracy" has kind of spat on all of that now.

Both were shit, dunno what you're smoking. Ottomans were almost single-handedly responsible for squashing dhimmi advancements and regressing the Islamic world. And the Byzantines might be worse. Read about all the backstabbing shit they pulled off all the way up to and including the fourth crusade. Both were retarded regressive fag-holes by the time they fought.
>>1868801
this desu
/his/ loves to circlejerk about the holy emperors of byzantium, sacred defenders of christendom who spent most of their time marrying off all their daughters to turks
>>1868801
>Ottomans were almost single-handedly responsible for squashing dhimmi advancements and regressing the Islamic world.
>this is what he actually believes when the Ottomans were the only ones implementing and advancing Dhimmi laws ever since the emirates and sultanates of Andalusia
stay butthurt Ali

30 years war is the ultimate bad v bad war. It's a fucking bummer and absolutely nobody comes out of it looking good (unless you're some Swedish LARPing fag who listens to Sabaton or something)
>>1868781
The Irish were white and the Sudanese were black/brown
