Peace Declaration by Isles of Scilly

Date: April 17, 1986 • Location: St Mary's, United Kingdom

The Netherlands and the Isles of Scilly declared peace, having hypothetically been at war for 335 years without a single shot being fired and no casualties incurred.

The Isles of Scilly are a small archipelago in Cornwall, England, approximately 45 km (28 mi) south-west of Land's End. One of the islands, St Agnes, is over four miles further south than the most southerly point of the British mainland at Lizard Point, and has the southernmost inhabited settlement in Cornwall and the UK, Troy Town.
