The longest war lasted 300 years that too without casualties...

The war was between the Netherlands and the Isles of Scilly – just off the south west coast of the UK – and it lasted an astounding 335 years. This extremely large time frame was attributed the fact that there was no peace treaty signed and it has been hailed as one of the longest wars ever, but ironically, one with the lowest number of casualties as well.

The number of shots fired in total numbered zero, throughout the course of this very long war, if we can call it war. It is deemed to have been a carry-over of the Second English Civil war battle, that was necessitated by the lack of a peace treaty.

Peace was finally declared in 1986, marking an end to the most grueling, peaceful war ever, despite the fact that it still remains unclear whether war was declared in the first place. Some say that it wasn’t mean to go down and is just the fruit of some legend that alleged war had indeed been declared. Some things that we humans do at times!
