When the U.S. fired on Guam, the Spanish governor thought the U.S. Navy was saluting the Spanish flag. He did not even know the U.S. was at war with Spain until he was made a prisoner of the U.S.A. Despite the USS Charleston firing 13 shells at Guam's fortifications, no one was killed or injured, with all 54 Spanish surrendering peacefully to U.S. troops.

I believe the British "casualty" from the Anglo-Zanzibar War was a crew member on one of the ships accidentally dropping a shell on his foot Edit: I want to come back to this comment and quickly further state the the man lived.

As a Filipino fan of the channel, the Spanish-American War is one of my favorite wars because of the Battle of Manila Bay as mentioned. I know the Americans were victorious because of their superior fleet, but I prefer the ships of the Spanish fleet. Though all of them are old, they're so interesting to know what ships that the Philippines' first colonizer had anchored at Manila Bay.

"If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck." -John Steinbeck "If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan your mission properly." -David Hackworth The Russian invasion of Ukraine should not have been a fair fight, but Russia's tactics sucked and didn't plan properly, so here we are.

It’s funny that his ship to fight the British was called Glasgow 😂

Colin Powell said in an interview on a Gulf War documentary something like "There's no such thing as a fair war, I'm a soldier, not a boxer" He's right, even when you go with overwhelming firepower it's not a guarantee of victory. The other side can put an unexpected fight, you never know

About Operation Urgent Fury, one of my friends who was a former CH-53 pilot was a part of the campaign. He even sent me a photo of a CH-46 lifting from the assault ship based near the island.

Now do the longest wars in history as a follow up
-
this should be renamed to most unEVEN wars.. unfair wars are something completely different. I was confused and interpreted it as weakest casus belly wars

I'm surprised the Rhodesian conflict didn't come up (although I realize it's controversial). But having the Rhodesians highly trained and equipped by comparison made them battlefield victorious again and again while ultimately losing the war. Although I guess that disqualifies them from it being one-sided since they ultimately lost (although on the battlefield it was one-sided).
