It would be nice if more of the conflicts around the world could be like this one.
The Spanish town of Huéscar was at war with Denmark for nearly two centuries. Not a single shot was fired, and no one died – because as soon as war was declared in 1809, everyone completely forgot about it. A peace treaty was finally signed in 1981, when a historian happened upon the official declaration and realized they technically should have been fighting each other for the past 172 years.

Coffee out on the patio this morning, where the temps are still rising.
That's the kind of war that we need more of!
ReplyDeleteNow that's my kind of war.
ReplyDeleteTo be in a time when a city could be at war with another country... Things change!
ReplyDeleteThat's interesting. If only they all were like that:))
ReplyDeleteHey Gorges...
ReplyDeleteThat's what I'm thinking as well.
Thanks for stopping by today!
Hey Linda...

Thanks for coming over today!
Hey Rob...
Boy, they certainly do.
Thanks for the visit today!
Hey Mamahen...
The civilized way to fight a war, I guess.
Thanks for stopping by today!
If you got to have a war, that is the kind of war I would want. That had to be the longest war in history and no one got shot but just died of old age (grin).
ReplyDeleteHey Dizzy...
ReplyDeleteCertainly has to be some kind of record.
Thank you for the visit today!
Oh wouldn't this world be a much better place if things went that way a war of no war.
ReplyDeleteBit chilly here this morning but I'll take that and in 70's for the high which I am very happy with after being in the mid 90's a few days ago. See you all on the patio
