The Pig War: The Most Ridiculous War in History – 2,600 Soldiers vs. 1 Pig?! | The Insight Vault
In 1859, a curious Berkshire pig that loved eating potatoes accidentally sparked an international crisis between the United States and Great Britain. Thousands of troops, five warships, and 84 cannons were mobilized... all because one farmer shot one hungry pig!
Miraculously, no humans died (only the pig), and the two sides ended up drinking together, playing sports, and even becoming friends during the 12-year standoff. This video covers the full story—from the vague Oregon Treaty of 1846 to the final arbitration by Kaiser Wilhelm I in 1872—with hilarious “bromance” moments and real lessons about patience and diplomacy.
A true historical event that sounds like a comedy sketch!
