This is the bizarre and fascinating world of Bloodless Wars, and we’re going to tell you about all of the craziest examples - from their earliest days to the most shockingly recent.

[@midomen100]

Considering the Case that Japan is a naval Power and poland had No serious navy and especially one that could reach 10000km away I would bet that there we're no casualties. Thats why they didnt bother for a Peace until 1957

The lobster war is one of the pettiest wars in history and that is hilarious. Close to the conclusion of the war in international court, a brazilian Naval Officer and Oceanographer famously said in response to the french argument that lobsters are fish because they swim “by analogy, if a lobster is a fish because it moves around by hopping, a canguru is a bird”.

[@johndoef5962]

Waaaiiiit, you didn't mention this weird war between Canada and -Norway- Denmark about one small island between them? Where regularly some soldiers of one or the other country come to the island to plant their flag, dispose of the other's flag and leave behind a bottle of liquor.

The Cod Wars a series of territorial fishing disputes between the UK and Iceland from 1958 to 1961 and according to legend Berwick Upon Tweed a town near the border between England and Scotland was not included in the treaty that ended the Crimean War due to clerical error also according to legend Berwick Upon Tweed eventually signed a treaty with Russia in 1981 .

[@MrWeedWacky]

You missed the most recently ended bloodless war, The Whisky War Between Denmark and Canada over Hans Island...

[@Gwengirl110]

I love your videos

[@pacificostudios]

The war between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Russia was kind of a bloodless war. It started when Great Britain declared war on Russia in 1853, and then, because Berwick has switched from England to Scotland and back again so many times, Parliament including "Berwick-upon-Tweed" in the declaration of war. Unfortunately, when the Crimean War ended, the diplomats forgot to include Berwick. In 1966, Berwick and the USSR finally signed an official peace treaty.

[@studogable]

On the Iowa-Missouri conflict: there is a legend that an Iowa legislator proposed giving all the land to Missouri, since this would raise the literacy rate in both states.

If you like this video check out. El Salvador 🇸🇻 The Football War (also called the Soccer War or 100 Hour War) was a four-day military conflict between Honduras and El Salvador in July 1969. It followed a three match series between the two countries in a FIFA World Cup qualifier. Australia 🇦🇺 The Emu War was a nuisance wildlife management military operation undertaken in Australia over the later part of 1932 to address public concern over the number of emus said to be destroying crops in the Campion district within the Wheatbelt of Western Australia.

[@isaacgonzo]

and what bout the canadian dutch (?) war? where both sides claim an island, and all the fighting that happens is raising their flag, and leaving a bottle of their liquor

I was expecting the whisky war over hans island between Canada and denmark. A tiny pointless island that both claimed. When ever a Canadian ship visited the island they would leave a bottle of whiskey and the Danish a bottle of scnapps.

[@I.am.Sarah.]

They would also plant their own flag on the island and remove the other haha.

The federal government got involved and gave Michigan the upper peninsula in exchange for giving up their claims to Toledo. There was one casualty however. The sheriff of Monroe county.

if you decided how deadly a war was by its time:casualty (10 dead in 2 days would be deadlyer than 50 dead in a month) ratio, what would be the deadliest yet shortest wars?

[@notmuchgd9842]

just a guess but since the shortest war is 38 minutes, deaths in there would probably be extremely packed, so that might as well be your answer

Not a war but a battle in a war. Battle of Karánsebes

[@erictaylor5462]

5:45 I wonder if the firing of the gun was unauthorized. Spoiler alert notice for a very good film called "The Bedford Incident." The movie ends when the captain says, "I won't fire first, but if he fires one, I'll fire one. The weapons officer says, "Fire one." and presses the button, launching a rocket propelled torpedo, which goes on to hit and sink the Soviet submarine. Then the destroyer sees an incoming torpedo. When it hits the screen goes pure white, then fades slowly to black, employing that the torpedo had a nuclear warhead.

Don't forget the Whisky War. Canadian soldiers visited the island and planted a Canadian flag, also leaving a bottle of Canadian whisky. The Danish Minister of Greenland came to the island himself later the same year with the Danish flag, a bottle of Schnapps, and a letter stating "Welcome to the Danish Island". The two countries proceeded to take turns planting their flags on the island and exchanging alcoholic beverages. 😆
