did-you-kno:

Canada and Denmark have fought over the same island for decades. Denmark visited Hans Island in 1984 and left their flag, a bottle of schnapps, and a note that said ‘Welcome to the Danish island.’ Canada then visited with their own flag, a bottle of Canadian Club, and a ‘Welcome to Canada’ note. Because the island is within the territorial waters of both countries, they’ve been having a not-so-serious ‘whiskey war’ ever since. Source Source 2
