What's the Longest War

What's the Longest Warの主要なニュースをコンパクトにまとめました。全体像を一目で把握できます。

Fast forward to 1986. A historian named Roy Duncan discovered the ancient declaration of war in some dusty archives. He thought, "Uh, guys? We’re still at war with the Dutch."

The Isles of Scilly’s council chairperson, Mrs. Doreen, was reportedly baffled. She probably said, “Wait, we are? Well, let’s fix that before someone gets a bill for 300 years of munitions.”

So, on April 17, 1986, a Dutch ambassador visited the islands to sign a peace treaty. The war ended without a single shot fired in anger. It’s the perfect war: no carnage, zero effort, and the longest name in history.

But Wait, There’s More!

Some historians argue that the Araucanian War in South America lasted over 300 years, but that one had actual violence and colonialism. Not exactly a fun fact for a lighthearted chat.

Others point to the Roman–Persian Wars that went on for seven centuries in fits and starts. But those had plenty of breaks, like a bad Netflix series you keep pausing.

The Three Hundred and Thirty-Five Years' War wins for pure WTF-ery. It’s the war that forgot itself into history books.
