** The Second Indochina War (1955-1975) is known to Americans as the Vietnam War and to North Vietnamese (later the unified Vietnam) as the American War. Even though it continued for years after the Americans had left.
** The War of the Triple Alliance is known in Brazil as the Paraguyan War (Guerra do Paraguai).
** The 1648-1666 Polish-Swedish conflicts are popularly termed the Swedish Deluge (Potop szwedzki) in Poland.
** The writers of the Holy Roman Empire generally called their 1683-1699 conflict with the Ottoman Empire the "Great Turkish War" (Großer Türkenkrieg). The Ottomans in turned called it the "Holy League Wars" (Kutsal İttifak Savaşları).
** The Napoleonic Wars were named specifically after Napoleon Bonaparte instead of the nation of France which he led.
