The only war I like: the whiskey war for Hans island between Canada and Denmark: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisky_War And it’s still on ! 🥃 In 1984, Canadian soldiers "provoked" Denmark by planting its flag on the island and leaving a bottle of Canadian whisky.[4] The Danish Minister of Greenland Affairs came to the island himself the same year with the Danish flag, a bottle of Cognac, and a letter stating "Welcome to the Danish Island" (Velkommen til den danske ø). The two countries proceeded to take turns planting their flags on the island and exchanging alcoholic beverages. The flags were folded properly and respectfully. There have also been Google ads used to "promote their claims". Despite the seriousness, it was all done in a friendly manner.
