7 Strangest Wars (weird wars, shortest war, longest war) - ODDEE

The subject of the Pig War reminded me that there are other intriguing wars out there.
This site lists 7: There may be some debate about the war of 1812 which is number 7; but the rest certainly qualify as weird, short or long.
1. The Anglo-Zanzibar War: the shortest war in history, only 40 minutes long
2. The Pig War: triggered by the shooting of a pig - thanks SGT John McConnell
3. Three Hundred and Thirty Five Years' War: lasted over 335 years with no casualties
4. Moldovan-Transdniestrian War: where both sides’ officers would drink together during the nights and fight during the days
5. Emu War: how Australia lost a war against birds
6. The Football War: started with a football game also known as the 100-hours War, was a five-day war fought by El Salvador and Honduras in 1969.
7. War of 1812: caused by faulty telegraphic communications. Also called Mr. Madison's War, the War of 1812 was in many ways the strangest war in United States history. It could well be named the War of Faulty Communication. Two days before war was declared, the British government stated that it would repeal the laws which were the chief reason for fighting. If there had been telegraphic communication with Europe, the war might well have been avoided.
The chief United States complaint against the British was interference with shipping. But New England, the great shipping section of the United States, bitterly opposed the idea of going to war. The demand for war came chiefly from the West and South.
It is strange also that the war, fought for freedom of the seas, began with the invasion of Canada. In addition, the treaty of peace that ended the war settled none of the issues over which it had supposedly been fought. Finally, both sides claimed victory in the War of 1812, and it becomes clear that the whole struggle was a confused mass of contradictions.
