  • Unusual/unique military actions.

    I'm quite interested in military history; not particularly the details of the weapons or the tactics - but more the politics and strategy behind any decision to go to war...and of course what the ultimate consequences are; sometimes many years later.

    I found this information recently.

    Anglo-Zanzibar War: The world's shortest war. The sultan of Zanzibar capitulated after only forty five minutes.

    The Three Hundred And Thirty Five Years War: A war between The Netherlands and the Isles of Scilly without a single shot being fired. The world's longest war; only recently ended by treaty.

    Battle of Tanga: First World War battle where 8,000 British troops were defeated by a German-led force of 1,100 native soldiers and swarms of angry bees.

    Football War: A 6 day war fought between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969 ignited by a riot caused by a disputed penalty at an international football match between the two countries.
