Note: Wars of succession in transcontinental states are mentioned under the continents where their capital city was located.

Notes
  1. In the strict sense, the Three Kingdoms Period didn't begin until 220, when the last Han emperor Xian was forced to abdicate by Cao Pi, who proclaimed himself emperor of the Wei dynasty. This claim was soon challenged by Liu Bei, who pretended to be the rightful successor to Xian, and crowned himself emperor of "Shu-Han" (221), and Sun Quan, who first received the title of "king of Wu" by Cao Pi before becoming the third claimant to the imperial title in 229. However, the dismemberment of the Chinese Empire by infighting warlords had already begun in 184, when the Yellow Turban Rebellion and the Liang Province Rebellion broke out. Although the former was put down, the latter was maintained, and the rebels continued to form a de facto autonomous state in Liang for two more decades. The emperorship itself was already in danger in 189 when, after the death of emperor Ling first the eunuchs and later Dong Zhuo seized control at the imperial court, against which the governors and nobility rose fruitlessly, before getting into combat with each other and setting up rival warlord states.
  2. Faruqui (2012) decided 'not to count the conflict between Aurangzeb and his brothers (1657–9) as a rebellion. This is an arguable choice since the conflict started out as a rebellion against Shah Jahan but then morphed into a succession struggle once Shah Jahan had been forced to abdicate his throne in the summer of 1658.' He regarded it as a 'war of succession' and noted that S. M. Azizuddin Husain (2002) had characterised it as a 'rebellion'.[92]

This act of rebellion (for this is what it amounted to) led to bitter conflicts between Ntare's sons and his successor on the throne, Mwami Mwezi Kisabo (c. 1852–1908), culminating with the death of Twarereye at the battle of Nkoondo, fought near the traditional capital of Muramvya around 1860. The dynastic feuds between the king and the princes went on unabated for many years and by 1900 Mwezi Kisabo could claim effective control over only half his kingdom, while the other half remained in the hands of Ntare's rebellious sons, from then on known as the Batare.
