Question: Which lasted longer, Korean War or Battle of Mindanao? 
Context: The Battle of Mindanao was fought by United States forces and allied Filipino guerrillas against the Japanese from 10 March - 15 August 1945 on the island of Mindanao in the Philippines in a series of actions officially designated as Operation VICTOR V.  It was part of the campaign to liberate the Philippines during World War II.  The battle was waged to complete the recapture of the southernmost portions of the archipelago. James Lesslie (November 22, 1802 – April 19, 1885) was an Ontario bookseller, reform politician and newspaper publisher.  His career was closely associated with - and somewhat overshadowed by - William Lyon Mackenzie, the Reform agitator, mayor of Toronto, and Rebellion leader.  However, as a leader himself, Lesslie took a prominent role in founding the Mechanics Institute (for adult education), the House of Refuge & Industry (a shelter for the unemployed), the Bank of the People, as well as the political parties known as the Canadian Alliance Society and Clear Grits.  In many way, he defined the Reform movement in Upper Canada without having reverted to the violent methods of Mackenzie.  His legacy may thus have lasted longer. The winter of 1894–95 was severe for the British Isles with a CET of 1.27 C .  Many climatologists have come to view this winter as the end of the Little Ice Age and the culmination of a decade of harsh winters in Britain.  Whereas the average CET for the ten winters from 1885–86 to 1894–95 was 2.87 C , no winter with a CET under 3.0 C followed for twenty-two years and no month as cold as February or January 1895 until 1940.  In contrast, between 1659 and 1894 no spell with every winter CET above 3.0 C had lasted longer than twelve winters. The Korean War (in South Korean Hangul: 한국전쟁 ; Hanja: 韓國戰爭 ; RR: "Hanguk Jeonjaeng " , "Korean War"; in North Korean Chosŏn'gŭl: 조국해방전쟁 ; Hancha: 祖國解放戰爭 ; MR: "Choguk haebang chǒnjaeng " , "Fatherland Liberation War"; 25 June 1950 – 27 July 1953) was a war between North Korea (with the support of China and the Soviet Union) and South Korea (with the principal support of the United States).  The war began on 25 June 1950 when North Korea invaded South Korea.  The United Nations, with the United States as the principal force, came to the aid of South Korea.  China came to the aid of North Korea, and the Soviet Union also gave some assistance to the North. The Battle of Davao was fought by Allied forces during World War II.  It contained American and Philippine Commonwealth troops including locally organized guerrillas against the Japanese from May 3 to 18, 1945 at the city of Davao and its vicinity in the island of Mindanao in the Philippine Archipelago.  It is part of Operation VICTOR V, an offensive operation against Japanese forces in Mindanao, and part of the campaign for the liberation of the Philippines during World War II.  The battle was the decisive engagement of the Mindanao Campaign. The Zhou dynasty ( ) was a Chinese dynasty that followed the Shang dynasty and preceded the Qin dynasty.  The Zhou dynasty lasted longer than any other dynasty in Chinese history.  The military control of China by the royal house, surnamed Ji (), lasted initially from 1046 until 771 BC for a period known as the Western Zhou and the political sphere of influence it created continued well into Eastern Zhou for another 500 years. The Kate Mullany House was the home of Kate Mullany (1845–1906), an early female labor leader who started the all-women Collar Laundry Union in Troy, New York in February 1864.  It was one of the first women's unions that lasted longer than the resolution of a specific issue. The following is a list of characters and vehicles from "M.A.S.K.", its television adaption, and its associated toyline.  The toyline actually lasted longer than the cartoon series itself. The Kedatuan of Dapitan was an ancient Philippine polity once based at Bohol at Tagbilaran Strait.  Bohol's first indigenous people settled in the Anda peninsula.  These people came from northeast Mindanao.  These people were responsible for the Anda petrographs which are one of the most important indigenous rock writing in the country.  Around the 12th century, a group of people from Northern Mindanao settled in the strait between mainland Bohol and the island of Panglao.  Those people came from a nation in northern Mindanao called Lutao (probably the animist kingdom of what will soon be the Islamic Lanao).  Those people established the Kedatuan of Dapitan in western Bohol because the true indigenous people of Bohol in the Anda peninsula and nearby areas were not open to them, forcing them to establish settlement in the western part of the island.  The kedatuan was first built with hardwood on the soft seabed.  It engaged it trade with nearby areas and some Chinese merchants.  The Jesuit Alcina tells tales about a rich nation he called the 'Venice of the Visayas', pointing to the Kedatuan of Dapitan at that time.  The Jesuit also tells of a princess named Bugbung Hamusanum, whose beauty caused her suitor, Datu Sumangga, to raid parts of southern China to win her hand.  By 1563, before the full Spanish colonization agenda came to Bohol, the Kedatuan of Dapitan was at war with the Sultanate of Ternate in the Moluccas (who were also raiding the Rajahnate of Butuan).  At the time, Dapitan was ruled by two brothers named Dalisan and Pagbuaya.  The Ternateans at the time were allied to the Portuguese.  Dapitan was destroyed and Datu Dalisan was killed in battle.  His brother, Datu Pagbuaya, together with his people fled back to Mindanao and established a new Dapitan in the northern coast of the Zamboanga peninsula.  The new Dapitan eventually was incorporated by the Spanish.  Pagbuaya's son, Manooc was among those who sided with the Spanish.  He converted to Christianity and aided the Spaniards in the conquest of Islamic Manila and the Camarines area in Luzon.  The people of Dapitan also assisted the Spanish in the conquest of Northern Mindanao.  Eventually, the Dapitans took their vengeance against the Ternateans when Manooc's cousin, Laria, guided the Spanish in their invasion of the Moluccas (Ternate). Letter to Women is a pastoral letter written by Pope John Paul II to "all" women, and deals most essentially with the rights and dignity of women, the many challenges that women in the modern era had to face, and ways in which the "cause" of woman could be forwarded in the world.  Written and distributed on June 29, 1995, this letter was written in anticipation of the Fourth World Conference on Women in September 1995, hosted by the United Nations in Beijing.  This letter was an affirmation to the continuing thought of Pope John Paul II on the importance of women in the Church, and the special roles in which only they can contribute in the realms of the family, the Church, and the world.  In his pontificate which lasted longer than 26 years, he continuously upheld the dignity and honor of women, and this letter was a significant contribution to his corpus of works on the importance of women within the Church.  Through this letter not only was the dignity and honor of women affirmed but of "all" people.
