I would use Iraq and how America is fighting their now. I would add that Rome fought a war in Persia and lost, this helped lead to their fall. I would compart the two for my current event!

How about the two Iraq wars?

Tibet
Iraq
The battle for jerusalem
Forth road/rail bridge - the closure in 2012

Wikipedia is a great source of information
