So a correction on my last post for Guess the Dumb War part II (thank you for pointing this out alexis and jacques) the empreor of the INVADED country not INVADING country was executed. And the answer was in fact the french mexican war/conflict.
Okay, so onto other silly wars:
This war was:
1) triggered by the shooting of a pig
2)The pig was the only intentional casualty of the war
3)the conflict ended in joint military occupation
4)a third party, kaiser wilhelm, was finally called in to decide the victor before a commission.
this one is a bit unfair but it is a war and it is dumb so it makes the cut on this week's edition of Guess the Dumb War.
