Isle of Sicily, Amsterdam

On this day - the 350 year war between the Isle of Scilly (not Sicily) and the Netherlands ended. Apparently they forget to sign a peace agreement many years before as not a single shot had been fired for 335 years. Technically fighting was from 1651 to 1986. Seriously people - that's why you pay diplomats.
