Actually the island belongs to Norway. As Greenland (with Island and Fareo Islands) was stolen from the Norwegians. We sent som guys over to occupy back it one time in the 1920s or 30'. I would say the claim still stand.

I‘m kinda sad the conflict over Hans Island is over. The exchange of bottles was such an incredibly sweet tradition.
@lostwizard Жыл бұрын
Who says there can't be a regular tradition of exchanging bottles that is even more friendly now? Have the foreign ministers or what have you head up there, set up a table straddlig the border, do the bottle exchange, and then kick back and shoot the breeze for a while. Get that tradition going, keep Canada and Denmark intact for a century or two, and keep the tradition going. Next thing you know, people have forgotten what it was all about and successor nations controlling the area continue the tradition.... :)

As Mexican, south border, I can say: HELP!! Our governament is getting autoritarian, more corrupt and dangerous. Our country is more insecure every day and is the State's fault. Our current president openly and publicly threaten our democracy at least once (but luckily not able to end it so). Middle class is almost erradicated because social movility is just going down. Don't want to let PEMEX (Petroleos Mexicanos) die because is a (fake) Soberany thing, even if red numbers are above -100% keeping our taxes going to a bottomless pit, not including the money that simply disappear.

Since many Years I knew about the probably most friendly teretorial conflict a.k.a. "Whisky War". Glad to hear that this conflict is finally solved, but given the numbers of victims of that "war", it was not that urgent to do so. It was a beautiful example how cilivized countries can deal with conflict.
@NarayananV28 Жыл бұрын
This was far from a FRIENDLY dispute. If it really was, either of these countries should have gladly given the island to the other. The fact that they settled it by splitting a 1200 sq meters island is the depiction of how unrelenting & cheap both the countries were. On the contrary India gave away 1 island to Srilanka (Katchatheevu Islands) & 1 island to Myanmar (Coco Islands) for free, without bullying those 2 tiny countries. That's how big hearted & civilized countries behave.

As a Canadian, I am glad that the Whisky War have been finally ended. Like many lads my generation, I was conscripted and spent my time in that frozen hell hole. Our medical centers were full of soldiers wounded everyday from the horrible lego minefields. We of course weren't innocent ourselves. Many a time when we couldn't storm one of the comfy Danish Hygge bunkers, we would simply dump in maple syrup and seal those Danes in a solid block of sweet maple amber. And the geese... my god, how often we would call in an air strike from those honking war crimes... Sometimes I would wake up to the sound of the honks. The horror... The horror.

It seems you missed the dispute regarding the Alaska-Yukon offshore border. Canada has that it continues along the 141st degree line of longitude, as the land border is, but the USA has that it runs perpendicular to the shore line there, and thus hangs a right. This is still in dispute (as far as I know).
