Anyone knows about this from Oversimplified?

This event marked the 150th anniversary of the successful conclusion of the "War."

[@davidholmer6099]

If you’re from Washington, it’s very likely you know about it.

[@ThingsShopping]

But do you know what was happening to the people living on the island during the Pig War?

[@xgcskiman]

This is a gross simplification of this event. Watch the video by Oversimplified for more information.

Fake News!, Indigenous Native North Americans from USA and Canada, owned the land for centuries. Spanish Conquistadors were there first 600+ years ago. That is why they named it San Juan and Los Angeles Islands.

Yes, that is very true, but none of them ever shot a Pig - LOL.

@@TheWaywardpilgrimYou sure? Pigs are good eating, and it’s the Spanish explorers shot and carved one up on their ship.
