How short is the shortest war in history?

1 and 1982, key west, southern Florida, declared its independence and established the "Conch Republic". After the war of independence began, it became a subsidiary country of the United States in about one minute ... What about moral integrity?

1982, the us border patrol set up roadblocks and checkpoints on highway 1 and began to check all vehicles returning to Florida from the island, searching for illegal drugs and illegal immigrants. Key west City is located at the southernmost tip of the United States. It is only 100 km away from Cuba, which is closer to Cuba than Florida City. So it has naturally become a stopover for illegal immigrants. Because there is only one road, a card will cause a traffic bottleneck, and the traffic jam will last nearly 30 miles at the worst. In this way, key west quit. We are all Americans. Why do you have to stop to check in other cities? Mayor dennis wardlow filed a lawsuit in Miami federal court, saying that such roadblocks must be removed. Of course, the court rejected his request, holding that the federal government has the right to set up roadblocks on the road and conduct investigations for the benefit of the country. Dennis Wardlow was very angry, and when he came back, he became more and more depressed. He simply waved and shouted, if you don't treat us as American citizens, well, then we will be independent and we will not be Americans!

The FBI and the US government are also very strange. What kind of trouble will this island cause? How can you be independent? Therefore, FBI agents were sent to investigate, which made the islanders very uneasy. However, when the FBI saw the independence ceremony, it almost burst into tears. The mayor picked up a piece of Cuban bread and hit a friendly guest in the uniform of the United States Navy on the head, announcing the completion of the entire War of Independence.

2. The war between Britain and Zanzibar was1the war between Britain and Zanzibar on August 27th, 896. After only 45 minutes, it became the shortest war in history. Before the war broke out, Sultan Hamad bin Duvini of Zanzibar volunteered to be a puppet under British colonial rule. 1896 On August 25th, Hamad bin Doignies died, and his nephew Khalid bin Bagash staged a military coup and established himself as Sudan. The British supported another candidate, Mahmoud Benmohamed, to cooperate with his colonial rule. Therefore, Britain issued an ultimatum and ordered Bagash to abdicate. Bagash refused to abdicate and organized troops to defend the palace. The Royal Navy sent five warships to surround the port in front of the palace, and at the same time sent the Royal Marine Corps to land to support the Zanzibar regular army loyal to Britain. Sultan Bagash contacted the American representative on the island and asked the United States to mediate in an attempt to negotiate peace with Britain as a last resort, but the United States refused. 1896 at 9: 00 a.m. on August 27th, as soon as the ultimatum time passed, the Royal Navy Fleet fired immediately. Gunfire rumbled, the palace collapsed, and Zanzibar's army suffered heavy casualties. Bagash hurriedly hid in the German consulate and was granted asylum. After 45 minutes, the British ceased fire and ordered the Germans to hand over the deported Sudan. However, Bagash escaped from the sea at 1896 10.02. Since then, he has been in exile in Dar es Salaam until he was captured by the British army in 19 16. After his arrest, Bagash was allowed to live in Mombasa, Kenya until his death in 1927. After the war, the British government asked the Zanzibar government to compensate the British army for its arms expenses in the war.
