* 1248 – 1254 (EUP Guard): ''[[UsefulNotes/TheCrusades The Saddle Arabian Campaign]]'': The Saddle Arabian Sultan, as an outspoken friend of Princess Luna, was enraged by her banishment, leading him to refuse to recognize Celestia's status as Equestria's true princess, sever all trade with Equestria, and expel Equestrian ponies from the country. Celestia decided to make him recognize her rule by force, and for that reason called for the nobleponies of Equestria to invade and occupy Saddle Arabian cities and trade posts in her name. All counties of Equestria complied, and soon a force of nearly a hundred thousand ponies ventured to the horse nation, capturing several major metropolises including Mareusalem and Coltstaninople. The Sultan then turned to the Khalifs and Emirs of Saddle Arabia for defence. The captured cities switched owners several times as more noble equines from both sides headed into the battle for their respective nation's honour. Eight years and 65000 lives later, all Royal Guard companies had been beaten back, and the Saddle Arabian borders were restored, with the Sultan's begrudging recognition following suit. Thankfully, relations between the nations have been mild and positive ever since this very humbling conflict.

* ''The Friendship Journal'': A controversial autobiographical collection of stories and friendship lessons written by the Friendship Counsel themselves (with one story and lesson provided by the Cutie Mark Crusaders) intended to help teach others especially young foals the Magic of Friendship, controversial only because a very load subset of adult readers began to overanalyze the content of the book and bothered the Friendship Counsel in their personal lives resulting in them having to hide out in Princess Twilight's Castle for several days before Princess Celestia herself had to get involved and personally order the mob to disperse under threat of arrest.
** After the disastrous publication of the ''The Friendship Journal'' Princess Twilight was approached with an chance to help create a series of plays, books and films based upon the stories and lessons in the Journal which she agreed to so long as it is made clear that the primary audience are foals and that anything based upon the adventures of the Friendship Counsel must get their approval before anyone can see it, the first project from this series to be greenlit is a film dramatizing the events of the Return of Nightmare Moon simply titled "The Magic of Friendship" which is noticeable for having cast Princess Luna as herself.

[[note]]For the record, he ended up fine. Hopefully, the Princess knew that he could fly.[[/note]] Seeing this as an act of diplomatic impiety (and appreciating an opportunity to utilise some cutting-edge magic and technology), the Griffon Union declared war and landed ''èn masse'' on Equestria's eastern shores, venturing deep into Pony lands. The Griffons managed to capture the seaside fort of Rostrum, using it as a rally point for mercenaries[[note]]Who traditionally made up the bulk of Griffon’s fighting force.[[/note]]. After the Royal Guard scrambled east to (futilely) prevent the Griffins advancing inland to Mustangia and ultimately Canterlot, the situation only grew worse when they were pushed back, which Mustangia took as an opportunity to try and secede from Equestria. As the war dragged on, the Griffons' own mercenaries began defecting and going rogue across the whole region. It took an entire decade for the fighting to die down and the respective sides to regroup behind their respective sides of the Grand Strait. Officially, the war was a draw, but cost all sides about 200,000 lives and a million ponies displaced.

* 1899 - 1902 (EUP Guard): ''[[UsefulNotes/TheSecondBoerWar The Boors’ War]]'': The last great attempt of Equestria to tame the Badlands. Setting up the colonies of Equitoria, the settlers soon found their biggest problem to be the native Diamond Dogs who lived under the earth and robbed towns, plundered supply routes and occcasionally even abducted ponies as bounty. The EUP Guard was called in to safeguard the Pony settlers, but was quickly overwhelmed with the Diamond Dogs’ presence, who at that point had already resorted to irregular warfare (against the painfully rigid, outdated and unflexible tactics of the Guard) to great effect. Even though the Guard proceded to increase their presence constantly over the months, the Badlands remained to be dangerous and utterly uninhabitable regions, last not but least because of such 'neutral' threats like dragons and hydras. Even though the casulaties were minimal (less than 200), Princess Celestia basically declared the cause not to be worth the trouble, sacked the responsible commanding officers, beat the retreat and reorganized the EUP Guard into the Equestrian Royal Guard to update it for the modern world complete with new more flexible tactics. Until this day, there is some sort of unspoken [[note]] 'unspoken' because it is a ''massive'' OldShame[[/note]] agreement between the Diamond Dogs and Equestria that keeps Ponies (especially the Royal Guard) out and the Diamond Dogs in. The colonies are still there as well, but are destroyed beyond recognition.
* 1914 - 1945 (Equestrian Royal Guard): ''[[UsefulNotes/WorldWarI The Great]] [[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII Changeling War]]'': Under the directions of their new Queen, Chrysalis I, the Changeling empire made repeated, but fairly subtle attempts to expand into Equestrian territory. When Princess Celestia chose not to react [[note]]Basically, she did not want to start a war over the sparsely populated wasteland of the Frozen North a second time[[/note]], Chrysalis saw this as an allowance to swallow several whole counties. She invaded Northern Equestria, Mustangia, Germaneigh, Cowstria, even swung over the Grand Strait to take Eastern Griffonstone, the southern region of Yugryphonia and all of the Foallands from the air, and ultimately landed in Saddle Arabia, making entire continents her enemies in record time [[note]]Besides Griffonstone, Saddle Arabia and the Zebra Chiefdoms were quick to show their support for Equestria in a matter of hours[[/note]]. It was perhaps the most world-spanning conflict that Equestria took part in. Royal Guards from all over Equestria were ordered to march up north and fend off the Changelings' "thunder and lightening", as they themselves called this new, swift form of conquering land. Chrysalis made heavy use of terror and mind control to make the captured states her puppet countries, and managed to put the Guard under constant pressure over years in a row. However, thanks to the Guard making up in fervour and technology what the Changelings had in flexibility and numbers, the stalemate between the two sides was upheld. Soon, neither side could advance even a mere dozen miles. It was not until Griffonstone launched an all-out offensive from the east and successfully thinned out the Changelings’ ranks that the stalemate ended[[note]]This would be one of the last acts of a unified Griffonstone. Unbeknownst to Equestrian scholars, [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E8TheLostTreasureOfGriffonstone a raid by Arimaspi]] of Tambelon stole the Idol of Boreas shortly after the end of the war, resulting in increasingly fractured griffon territories[[/note]]. Those Changeling colonies that didn’t retreat were retaken by the Guard in a matter of weeks. The Changelings ended up with less land than before the war, and were utterly humiliated by the winning powers. This built-up animosity still persists in present times. More than half a million ponies were taken out, and more than three Million lost their homes.
* 1982 (Equestrian Royal Guard): ''[[UsefulNotes/FalklandsWar The Foal]][[UsefulNotes/NorthCyprus lands War]]'' (referred to in griffon territories as the ''Falcons' War''). In the latest of Equestrian-Griffon tensions, the part-Equestrian part-Griffon Foalland Archipelago (a tiny island group plagued by constant border struggles and unease between Gyphon and Equestrian citizens) was invaded by Griffon troops (under the command of the new, radical Griffon leadership) with the intent to claim all of the territory and expel all (''[[ThrivingGhostTown 126]]'') Equestrian citizens. Princess Celestia (nicknamed 'The Equestrian Empress' by the Griffon Elector in the wake of the war) responded harshly, sending in a completely air-based armada of Celestian Guards to push the Griffons back and retake the Equestrian parts. The operation, taking only about a month, was a big success, with the Griffon invasion force twice the size falling back almost without dealing resistance. The Royal Guard only had about 200 losses, and the Griffons more than thrice that much. As this was a conflict more about honour rather than substance (Griffon fishing rights in the area notwithstanding) the Status Quo between both nations was enforced after the end of the conflict, but the Griffons are still particularly sore because of those islands.
* 1991 - 1999 (Equestrian Royal Guard): ''[[UsefulNotes/TheYugoslavWars The Yugryphonian Intervention]]'': In 1990, Yugryphonia, an apostate south-eastern region of Griffonstone, used the country's precarious political climate (read; the the ''Griffon Civil Wars'', which began in the wake of wild internal strife) to declare independence and began drawing up paramilitary forces. Equestria, which had been at odds with Griffonstone ever since '82 and were deeply worried that the war's violence may sweep over the Grand Strait, hastily hatched a treaty of mutual respect with Yugryphonia. When a Gryphon nationalist army marched into Yugryphonia and the Yugryphonian National Guard opened fire, Equestria warily abstained, but filed an international plight for Yugryphonia in the NEIGHTO. It was only when the Yugryphonian conflict got so thoroughly out of claw that the Princesses (including the newly ascended Princess Cadance) and by extension, Equestria's allies as well felt that the harmony of the entire theatre was too far in peril to be ignored, and organised a peacekeeping mission that deployed 500 Equestrians, 380 Saddle Arabians and 115 Zebricans to Yugryphonia. This peacekeeping force was officially neutral, and served mainly as a deterrent for both sides, interfering only in the wake of unjustifiably unharmonious actions perpetrated by the combatants. Naturally, no Griffonstone faction approved of that, but the combatants ultimately retreated from Yugryphonia. Peacekeepers are still stationed in the region as observers, and even though Yugryphonia is largely free, it has yet to be recognised as an independent state by about the entire world.

Indeed, before Element of Laughter Pinkie Pie managed to placate the yaks, the prince had formally declared war against Equestria, and during his entourage's rampage caused about 40,000 bits worth of damage in addition to all the rest of the damage he caused earlier that day.

Having served his full term, Torch is handing the title of Dragon Lord to the next generation of dragons. The problem is due [[FantasticRacism their less than stellar view of ponies]], any dragon that wins will result in Equestria getting raided for centuries to come. Realizing that he has to ensure that Equestria won't be a smoking crater so in spite of his physical incapability, Spike enters the Gauntlet Of Fire. During the Gauntlet, Spike runs into then Princess Ember, daughter of Torch who wants to prove herself.
