User:Jackyd101/British colonial wars

This a new personal wikiproject to create a comprehensive list of British colonial wars between 1815 (following the Battle of Waterloo) and 1939 with the start of the Second World War which rapidly accelerated the collapse of the British Empire. Although the more celebrated conflicts have pages already, many of them very good, I will be attempting to create pages for the lesser known incidents. Once this list is complete, I will move it to a new page as a full list article, but for the time being I will use it as a guide to writing future articles. Partly this page is needed as so many wars and battles are nothing more than useless stubs.
