As a Canadian, I’m almost disappointed that our adorable little rivalry with Denmark is over. 😞
Back to hockey wars
As a dane i could not agree anymore😅
Yhaaa! I was also thinking what the hell wee were doing. I will still offer you some good Danish snaps
Actually the island belongs to Norway. As Greenland (with Island and Fareo Islands) was stolen from the Norwegians. We sent som guys over to occupy back it one time in the 1920s or 30'. I would say the claim still stand.
now we can set up a proper boarder outpost, a couple folks could meet up there for a picnic every once in a while, bringing their passports to go to the other side.
given Denmarks stellar trak record in terms of public transportation, this means I can reach the canadian border from Berlin utilizing my 9 EUR weekend euro rail ticket... right?

@Raytheslay why are you listening?
@Raytheslay what's the criticism and how is it constructive?
@Raytheslay wait that isnt constructive criticism.
As an American, I really loved the wholesome border dispute. Like, what else would we expect from our lovely neighbors up north than to just offer the Danes whiskey. We love you, Canadians! ❤️❤️🇨🇦🇨🇦🍁🍁
Love back to you Americans! 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦
We love y'all too. 🥰🥰🥰
We love ya too! ❤🇺🇸🇨🇦
As Mexican, south border, I can say:
HELP!! Our governament is getting autoritarian, more corrupt and dangerous. Our country is more insecure every day and is the State's fault. Our current president openly and publicly threaten our democracy at least once (but luckily not able to end it so). Middle class is almost erradicated because social movility is just going down. Don't want to let PEMEX (Petroleos Mexicanos) die because is a (fake) Soberany thing, even if red numbers are above -100% keeping our taxes going to a bottomless pit, not including the money that simply disappear.
We should unify tbh
As a Dane, I'm thrilled to now share a land border with Canada! I always wanted to visit Canada, and now that we share a border, even more so. Every Canadian I have met have all been great, relaxed and funny people - in every way the perfect brother nation to Denmark.
Only got love and respect for our Canadian brothers and sisters
I think it was rude of us to repay your delicious schnapps with our barely drinkable whiskey 😃

I‘m kinda sad the conflict over Hans Island is over. The exchange of bottles was such an incredibly sweet tradition.
Who says there can't be a regular tradition of exchanging bottles that is even more friendly now? Have the foreign ministers or what have you head up there, set up a table straddlig the border, do the bottle exchange, and then kick back and shoot the breeze for a while. Get that tradition going, keep Canada and Denmark intact for a century or two, and keep the tradition going. Next thing you know, people have forgotten what it was all about and successor nations controlling the area continue the tradition.... :)
🇬🇱
don't worry, in Philippines, we enjoy our sweet conflict with China
Nah we will have to forcefully restart that war and make it a monthly "conflict"
Of course the purpose now is to set the future war standard and the new weapons of war!
Nothing says the bottle swap has to stop.
As a Dane I'm pleased to now be sharing a land border with such a friendly country as Canada. Hello there to our new Canadian neighbors from Denmark :-)
Hello neighbor.... I love it
Hello neighbor 👋
Neighbours (Canadian) lol
It is a pleasure to finally share a land border! all the best from the great white
The whole island belongs to us and you know it Dane, just enjoy this temporary delay to our glory.
My head cannon is that when the Canadian's and the Danes sat down at a table and it went like this.
"I am sorry for the inconveniences" :Canada
"No, no. It is not your fault. Don't be sorry for it" :Denmark
"Oh well I am sorry for the previous statement." :Canada
"Oh well it is ok, I did not mean to make you feel that way" :Denmark.
This went on for many years
I am as sorry as you are, Dimitri.
This is the first time I've heard of this mini border dispute over the rock, and I am giggling like an idiot.

I do not like the term that people "discovered" a continent when the continent has always been a part of this world.
If someone "discovered" the continent, it was the people who crossed the bridge during the Ice Age.
I wish they settled the northeast so we'd this cultural branch off where viking culture never died
I'm canadian and I find it really funny how it took us 50 years to resolve a border dispute over a useless rock and I'm now glad we share a border with 2 countries
Canada bestest neighbor, ever! ;)
If you count in marine borders, we share one with France...
RLL was wrong in stating the island is useless. It is used by the indigenous inhabitants of both Greenland and Nunavut while hunting. And has been for centuries.
You are going to regret it when we Danes launch an invasion from Hans island. We can just about fit all our soldiers on our half of the island. We can see you eyeing our incredible schnapps, so we will take your maple syrup!
Real quick question... Can I build on that rock or it consider uninhabitable by the government for each side?
Wouldn't it be better if each side builds something special on it to just continue the 'fight'? Like building in height or something. Maybe even offer some kind of reason to keep it in the news to continue to rub it in Putin's face. Lol
"This gruesome war's amount of casualties was a devastating two. One missing bottle of Danish lichor and a tragically and neatly folded canadian flag left to die in the coasts of this island."
Since many Years I knew about the probably most friendly teretorial conflict a.k.a. "Whisky War".
Glad to hear that this conflict is finally solved, but given the numbers of victims of that "war", it was not that urgent to do so.
It was a beautiful example how cilivized countries can deal with conflict.
This was far from a FRIENDLY dispute. If it really was, either of these countries should have gladly given the island to the other. The fact that they settled it by splitting a 1200 sq meters island is the depiction of how unrelenting & cheap both the countries were. On the contrary India gave away 1 island to Srilanka (Katchatheevu Islands) & 1 island to Myanmar (Coco Islands) for free, without bullying those 2 tiny countries. That's how big hearted & civilized countries behave.
@@NarayananV28 what about goa

When I was in the Canadian army my Sgt burst in the door and yelled "we're going to war boys!" With who we asked (we were currently in Afghanistan) "those sneaky Danes! They took our island" we agreed they should probably have it as it seemed like a long hike to go put our flag up, and we were losing like 3 polar bears on the census.

As a Canadian, I am glad that the Whisky War have been finally ended. Like many lads my generation, I was conscripted and spent my time in that frozen hell hole. Our medical centers were full of soldiers wounded everyday from the horrible lego minefields. We of course weren't innocent ourselves. Many a time when we couldn't storm one of the comfy Danish Hygge bunkers, we would simply dump in maple syrup and seal those Danes in a solid block of sweet maple amber. And the geese... my god, how often we would call in an air strike from those honking war crimes... Sometimes I would wake up to the sound of the honks. The horror... The horror.

Time for a land war!
There is an island off of Newfoundland that is a French territory.
@@EmelyPhan Greenland is also Denmark.
to be honest, i think that canada and Denmark having a land border will actually strengthen the two nations due to being able to quickly transfer troops to one another. what i think is a funny thing though is that despite both nations knowing that neither side fully claimed the island, news headlines in the U.S said that canada won and ones in the U.K said that Denmark won.
They just can't understand a war where BOTH sides won, and came out the better for it.
We both won because we decided to exercise our hearts and brains rather than our mouths and fists.
And to our new Danish neighbours [and family];
halløjsa
We'll keep the liquor coming if you will.
Wait... does this mean we can join the E.U. now?
They have a recent vacancy.
Somebody look in to that.
That wasn't just any Danish warship. It had TWO!! Browning machine guns. Bet you didn't expect that, did you?:) It was so fearsome, that we had to retire it in 2017, after accusations that we were reigniting the Cold War arms race.
One of my old friends were chef on one them.. They loved these old slow cutters.
Thanks for this telling! Apparently, when the matter was officiated the two foreign ministers were joking that with its border with an EU state Canada now met one qualifier for joining the EU.
PLEASE, I'd love to join the EU!
That would allow me to go and study in Canada without having to sell a kidney, right? ...Right?
LOL
but....can we compete in eurovision now?
@@alexlandsbergs that is what i'm wondering too!
The correct way to resolve this dispute would have been a third party judging which liquor was better and awarding the island to the winner.
This would be way more contentious than the original "dispute" ...
@@freemanc6258 Heh, too true
The point was to resolve it peaceably, not to escalate.
Speaking as a dane, I can only say the Canadians would have won that one hands down. I shudder at the thought of drinking snaps, though maybe it would have tasted better cooled down to arctic temperatures 🙂
Whatever the result it could start WW3
At 7:32 "the prime ministers of both countries...". Neither of those guys pictured were the Canadian prime minister in 2005 (Paul Martin).

Tensions were at all time high. As a proud Canadian I was ready to enlist in the armed forces!
Me and the boys were just out for a rip behind the silo, soon as I seen that warship on the horizon, I just aboot jumped a Davie over a Susie since she was so large eh. Crazy big, never seen anything like it in ages. Anyway, finished my smoke and told the boys to saddle up the polar bears, we were going to war. They said that's fine and dandy eh. Here we are, in the mariana trench or whatever of Hans island, it's important to do your part eh.

The Canadian Navy isn't dry like the American Navy, you can drink as much as you want off-duty so long as it doesn't impede your job or others doing their jobs. Not having it be a big forbidden deal takes most of the insanity out of it - that and the CPO teaching the kids how to drink responsibly.
@@Yvaelle What is their policy on back scuttling?
I always learn something new and from a different genre than straight news.

Denmark sort of have a landborder with Sweden. Its a bridge/tunnel but its still a road connection thats like any other road connections. So Sweden and denmark are connected.
Canada: "With regard to the island our answer remains: Nunavut."
Denmark: "Okay, perfect you want none of it?"
Canada: "YES! Nunavut."
*insert 50 years long Who's on First vaudeville routine*
Yes Yukon.
There was a nice Who's On First skit going back when Hu Jintao was the premier of China.
The cringe I feel when people pronounce Nunavut as "none-of-it" 😬🍞
Like this guy did in the video 😒
i like how the two nations essentially trolled on the island for half a century, fun times im sure
Canadian forces had to get there by air. I don't think our navy has ships with sufficient ice ratings to go that far north. And certainly not enough to take on that fearsome Danish warship.
As a Dane that used to live in Canada for 5 years, I am glad that I now can just drive over the border to get cheap maple syrup.
I don’t think there’s even enough room for a road on that that island if they even wanted to build one
What i love about this is that each party actually respectfully folded each other's flag
No need for being a barbarian!
It's amazing when you read a news story that the media makes seem random, and then to get an actual historical explanation for why this is happening. Great work!
Yeah, there's been an article in the Danish news every year about this island for what seems like a decade now, but this is the first time I actually got the full back story.

Probably less. On a clear night in Alert you can see the lights shining from Thule across the water. Doesn’t happen often, the storms are bad in the winter. 🤟🏼
My step mother lived in Thule when the Americans forced all citizens of the town to leave. She’s half danish, and half Greenlandic.

It seems you missed the dispute regarding the Alaska-Yukon offshore border.
