<div id="ygrps-yiv-1299341643">What is that with the British and war???<br/>
<br/>
This was news on<br/>
April 17, 1986<br/>
&quot;The Isles of Scilly and the Netherlands signed a peace treaty that ended a<br/>
war that started in 1651. Although hostilities had ceased in the 17th<br/>
century, the war had never been officially ended. The Isles of Scilly are a<br/>
British archipelago with about 100 small islands located southwest of Great<br/>
Britain.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
But then again, maybe the Dutch are bad peacekeepers.<br/>

&gt; My understanding of the Crimean war episode is less<br/>
&gt; exciting. From what I can remember at the time war was<br/>
&gt; declared it was customary to refer to Berwick upon<br/>
&gt; Tweed separatly from both England and Scotland, but,<br/>
&gt; during the war, it formally became part of England by<br/>
&gt; Act of Parliament, therefore it was included in the<br/>
&gt; peace treaty as part of England. </span></blockquote></div>
