Believe it or not, a pig almost sparked a war! 🐷💥 In 1859, the "Pig War" erupted between American and British settlers on the San Juan Islands due to a border dispute. American settler Lyman Cutlar shot a pig belonging to a Hudson Bay Company employee. Tensions soared, with US and British forces escalating to hundreds of soldiers and multiple warships! Luckily, General Winfield Scott intervened, leading to a diplomatic solution and joint occupation. #PigWar #SanJuanIslands #USHistory #CanadianHistory #HistoryShorts #Craig #BorderDispute #1859 #HudsonBayCompany #USBritishRelations #MilitaryHistory #Diplomacy #PacificNorthwest #LymanCutlar #CharlesGriffen #WinfieldScott
