“There once existed an alleged theoretical state of war that lasted 335 years and 19 days, and was between the Dutch and an archipelago off the coast of southwest England called the Isles of Scilly.
What’s more, there were no casualties (because the Dutch forgot that they were at war with the Isles).” – u/CarbonSpectre
How can you forget you are at war? For over three centuries! A Scilly historian remembered and contacted the Dutch to see if the war was still ongoing. They signed a treaty in 1986!
