Canada And Denmark Share A Land Border / The Whiskey War #funfact

When signing a border treaty in 1973, Canada and Denmark couldn’t decide what to do with the unpopulated Hans Island. So they just left a gap in the border description.

But on June 10th, 2022, before they finally reached an agreement.
They decided to split the island down the middle.

I wish every territory dispute was as peaceful as this

[darrianweathington]

I like the fact that the Canadian soldiers kindly and gentlemanly folded the flag...

[sekritdokumint]

This is the best kind of fighting. I seriosuly hope that everyone involved into going there had a blast with the bottles

A: "We should really decide how we're gonna divide this island."
B: "Straight line?"
A: "Straight line."

Canada: "We don't use 90% of our territory, but WE NEED THIS ISLAND"

[darkmatter]

The most polite fight ever by leaving gifts to one another

[ThatOneBlueser]

That emphasis on that "rightfully" though

[HeisenbergFam]

This Whiskey War is even wilder than 1960s French-Brazillian Lobster War

[YaBoiRoach]

If they don’t build a little bar directly down the center that only serves whiskey and schnapps then that’s just a missed opportunity

"Took the flag down and folded it"


The level of respect is unprecedented

Let’s bring back the Whiskey Wars
Best sort of war- no bloodshed or bodily injury, and each side gets alcohol.

[CanadaPlayz]

The nice thing about this is that they would respectfully fold each others' flags

[Mewtwodestroyer]

Now I’m in Canada
Now I’m in Denmark
Now I’m in Canada
Now I’m in Denmark

I feel like it's good to mention the two countries ending their border dispute was in protest of Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

This would be the best war reenactment

[danielappleton]

Politicians: "A fun tradition? Can't have that!"

[geigercourtier]

Clearly the Canadian and Danish love each other dearly

[edwardwilson]

Canadians are so nice their idea of war is a 40 year game of capture the flag 😂

[jacksrandomadventures]

exactly how i pictured a canadian war going

Ladies, gentlemen, and others.
This is what happens when nice countries fight.
