Talk:Three Hundred and Thirty Five Years' War

message: On a whim, I sent Guinness some info about this war. (They have the Hundred Years' War, which lasted 116 years, as "Longest Irregular War" - as opposed to "Longest Continuous War", which they give as the Thirty Years' War.) If I get a response, I will post it here. Cmadler 14:08, 9 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Are there any other "wars" which would fall into this category?
Could add the supposed continuation of the Crimean War between Berwick-upon-Tweed and Russia (BoT having been incorporated into England during the Crimean War, but having been specifically mentioned in the declaration of war).
Isn't Liechtenstein supposed to have been left out of the Treaty of Versailles settlement and then found itself fighting two World Wars in September 1939?
The above could be added to the List of unusual wars mentioned above when developed.

thread_title: Other Non-wars

message: I think the longest war should be the Arauco War: it began in Reinogüelén (1536) and it ended only in 1881. That's 345 years, 10 more than the war between Netherlands and the Scilly Islands. --KRATK 19:04, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Really the longest? 

message: Please see List of wars extended by diplomatic irregularity, which was largely inspired by the discussion on this talk page.--Pharos 04:20, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  New article on general concept 

message: This was not a real war as recognized by professional historians, and it's not a unique situation either; see List of wars extended by diplomatic irregularity. I suggest that instead of having an article on this non-notable concept of "Three Hundred and Thirty Five Years' War", we should rather have an article on the legitimately historically-important Blake's 1651 Capture of the Isles of Scilly (that could also cover the related trivia).  Good sources for such an article: , .--Pharos (talk) 23:09, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: BTW, there are two other articles on Scilly battles we should have: the 1805 Battle of Scilly Isles with Admiral Nelson (see here), and the 1944 Battle of the Scillies with HMS Brissenden (see here).--Pharos (talk) 23:26, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text:  The 'facts' stated in this argument lend weight to the idea that this was not a real war; ranking alongside the idea that Berwick was still at war with Russia. There cannot be a peace treaty signed between the islands and the dutch as the islands are not an independant nation
This article should be re-written to take into account it is not true

thread_title:  Not a real war 

message: How can the description in this article describe this war as the longest, when another Wikipedia page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_longest_wars ranks this war as the third longest?

thread_title:  Longest war?  

message: Hello!
The scale of the current map and small resolution of the image makes Scilly practically impossible to see while the Netherlands also remain fairly difficult to make out, especially for higher resolution monitors and screens.
I propose it should be replaced with new, higher resolution image with a somewhat larger scale and has Scilly marked out for clarification.
