World War 2 was caused (in part) by a depression in Germany, therefore World War 2 was a depression.
You're repeating your assertion that an event is defined by its cause more than it's actual happenings and effect. I tried to poke a hole in this assertion by applying it to WW2. I can apply it to something else, if you'd like.

I think you missed my point, will. The South tried to withdraw from the Union IN PROTEST (caps are for you, roachboy). It was a protest move, and one they thought would work. They didn't expect to "fix the system" but they attempted to withdraw from it in protest. That protest turned into a war when the South made it clear that any attempts to stop the withdrawl would be met with armed resistance.
Just like Waco. Or the Whiskey Rebellion. Which both qualify under the definition we've been given.
I'm not even going to try to pick apart the WW2 assertion since I know you don't believe it. On the other hand, I do very much stand behind mine - at least until you find the hole I left for you.
