What was the longest continual war? I know the Hundred Years War, despite the name, wasn't continuous and saw years of non-action in between the conflict flaring up again. Then there's stuff like the 70 and 30 years war.
Which war saw continuous fighting for its entire length?

Fuck knows which is the longest uninterrupted one, but if someone counts shit like the 100 years war then Reconquista is the longest conflict ever.

Your "war" saw no action whatsoever.
Jesus shitty christ the reading comprehension of this sub is akin to that of a mentally impaired middle schooler
It is difficult to maintain a war for a long period, even if you have an easy victory the economic costs of supporting an army are huge.
The longest wars were probably low intensity or on and off like the 100 years war or the three kingdoms era in China.

It's the Arauco War, continual war from 1536 to 1810 in the territory of Chile. Didn't end well for the araucanos (also called mapuches).
Pretty interesting events too.

Either ultimate bait or you have to go back

Mapuches had a pretty aesthetic flag.
>independent agrarian native state existing until the 19th century
how come I never heard of this
It's not convenient for either side of history, imperalists that crushed the natives want it forgotten, and it also completley shatters the conception of the peaceful and innocent native, since mapuches were hardcore warriors and only came together and formed cohesive groups when they had to make war against other populations, for which they elected a war lord, or cacique.
Both Spain and Mapuches continually tried to out brutalize each other, and mapuches actually won, until Chile gained independence in 1810.
Jin campaigns against the Song lasted 30 years. Mongol campaigns against the Song lasted 50 years.
And all of those were continuous warfare.
>continuous fighting for it's entire length
La Violencia begun in 1948 and Columbia has been in constant civil war with various rebel groups from that moment until they signed treaty with FARC about a month ago. So, how much is that, about 70 years?

Masterful. Have a (you).
It was like a century of fighting at most.
