The longest and most unique war in history |
The interesting thing about this war is that there were no casualties during the war.
The conflict, in fact, began with a feud between pro-British military forces and members of parliament, which gradually escalated into a civil war.
The Netherlands was an irrelevant player in the war, and the Netherlands decided to side with the British MPs in the conflict, which angered the pro-royal military force, a longtime ally of the Netherlands.
The Royal Forces, enraged by the Dutch decision, began raiding Dutch cargo ships entering British territory.
Cromwell, the Leader of the House of Representatives, fought the Realists with great force and steadfastness and pushed the Royal Navy to the Isle of Sully.
Now that the Royal Navy has damaged several Dutch ships, the Netherlands has demanded full compensation for the damage, which was denied by pro-royal military forces.
Admiral Martin Trump, head of the Dutch Navy, saw the attitude of the pro-royal military force and declared war on the Isles of Silesia.
However, shortly after the declaration of war, in June 1651, pro-royal military forces surrendered to the Dutch army, and thus the Dutch-backed parliamentarians gained control of the Isle of Sully.
An interesting incident happened here in 1985 when Roy Duncan, a local historian from Sully, asked the Dutch Embassy in London if the war between the Netherlands and the Isle of Sully (Isles of Sully) was seemingly ridiculous. There is evidence to support the claim.
Then a surprising fact came to light. Documents at the Dutch embassy revealed that war was still going on between the Netherlands and the Isle of Sully!
In the wake of this astonishing fact, Roy Duncan wrote a letter to the then Dutch Ambassador to the Netherlands, Ren Heudekoper, urging him to visit the Isles of Silence and establish regular peace, to avoid any new threat from the Netherlands. Invited to sign the agreement.
Dutch Ambassador Ren Heudekoper agreed with Roy Duncan's decision and on 17 April 1986 the Isles of Silence and the Netherlands signed a peace treaty.
Thus the longest war, which began in 1651 between the Netherlands and the Isles of Silence in England, ended in 1986 after 335 years.
