3 casualties and its a remembered date??! :D

I just learned today in History Class that the USA almost declared war on Chile in the 1800's because the naval men on the USS Baltimore got drunk in a Chile bar, got in a brawl and 2 died. The USA got angry at Chile for that and it almost caused a war. Imagine that. :D

yes, people were weird at that time. Going to war over an insult :rolleyes:

I think the shortest war ever lasted something like two minutes, apparently, one side got scared :D
