Korean War Great Northern War
Both were bad, but not very well known for several reasons.
Korean War: Over shadowed by news coming from the after war trials of WWII
Great Northern War: Restricted to only northern European countries fighting.
WW1 could be included in the under-rated list, too. Not many people learn about WWI |

All wars are stupid. Just WWII had a lot more media attention than most wars in the past. |

But not very much about it. It is amazing how many people don't know about the battle of the Somme, or Verdun. |

My great-grandfather worked with General Haig. |

Well that's interesting, but that doesn't mean everyone knows about the battles. |

I know. I wasn't trying to say that they did. Still, in my history class, we made studies on both of the battles when we learnt about world war one. |

In most US states, it is all about American history up until 11th grade. In my history book, we have half a page on WWI |

Spanish-American war is underrated, I guess. Most wars that aren't WWII or Vietnam are underrated in America. |

| Mexican-American war is also fairly under-rated, because we're looked on as the bad guys for taking away half of Mexico's territory. |

| We could have done worse. We could have annexed all of Mexico, as we had taken Mexico City. |
