Btw - are you in the know of the Herring Wars? there were several of them! no, this is not a struggle between man and herrings :) it was a struggle between UK and Iceland for the ocean territories where the herring was caught. A very interesting story! not that absurd, but... still.

Sort:  

Actually, it was a bit absurd...Never heard of it. Fascinating. England backs down three times!

It was actually quite a consequential war, not just for Britain and Iceland.

Thanks so much for the reference!
