It really is an over simplification to state Iceland won only by threatening to leave NATO. Icelands strategy in the cod war was to make it impossible for british trollers to make a profit while fishing in Icelandic waters. This included the coast guard dragging knives along the ocea floor cutting nets, arresting british sailors and doing there best to avoid the navy.This was incredibly effective and most trollers just gave up on coming there. Than they played one of histories funniest cat and mouse game where the Icelandic coast guard made fools of the Royal navy time and time again. One of such cases were the use of radios. In the beginning the Brits tried to create a surveillance system where they would try to spot the coast guard vessels and than warn trollers of their whereabouts over the radio and letting them know where it was safe to fish. The Icelandic coast guard simply recorded those transmissions and played them back to the radio at opportune moments. This lead the navy to abonden that tactic and instead tried to protect there trollers by making them travel in large groups surrounded by the navy. This simply made it so that it became damn near impossible to any troller to make a profit from fishing since they were all fishing in a tiny area. All this would eventually lead to the two powers aggressively ramming each others vessels in an attempt to inflict damage upon one annother. Something that turns our the Icelanders were simply better at. At the end of the 3rd cod war 15 out of 22 royal frigates had been badly damaged and one was even decomissioned. 5 out of Icelands 8 vessels were damaged, one of which so much that the crew surrendered to the navy and were brought to England. On the way the Coast guard crew spent some time in the frigates kitchen, the cooks of which were all from Northern Ireland. There the Irish did what they could to convince the Icelanders to go out and atempt to take the ship by force and assured them they would aid them. The two groups spent alot of time discussing strategy and how to approach this matter. In the end the coast guard decided against it on the account of being too outnumbered by the navy even with the Irish help. Any way in the end the Icelanders inflicted heavy economic damage to both the navy and the trollers illegally fishing in their waters and even though the conflicts were ultimately ended by Iceland threatening to leave nato that doesnt mean they did so without a fight and I belive it is more than fair to say that Iceland did simply win those wars both militarily and diplomatically.
That makes no real sense until you realize that this was during the Cold War, where Iceland was strategically important if the Sowjet Union ever decided to invade Europe. This card wouldn't work anymore today.
OTHERWISE! While the rest of the world is building bombs and planning war strategies the nations of Europe are trying to make the catchiest pop song and plan the best hosting of the competition. The concept is priseless bro! We have got the coolest war ever going on here!

Perhaps that would be good for the fish stock? One of the main reasons why Iceland does not want to join the EU is the fact that EU still looks at fish stock as something you can "politically choose how much you can catch each year" instead of thinking about how large is that stock and what percentage of it is available to us to catch this year so we can maintain it in the future.

@@saltyman1848 I dont know about where exactly you can find it online. To the world ofcourse it's a bit of an obscure war that no one really mentions. But in Iceland it is a matter of great national pride and therefore a lot has been documented about it. The conflict is taught about in school's, documentaries have been made and countless books. That and the fact that I've had the privilege to talk to one of the Captains of the coast guard that served in the cod war personally. Who described the story in great detail.
@@saltyman1848 What you have to underatand is that to many this conflict justified Icelands existence as an independent republic and it is what would define our nation to the world. You see for centuries the Brits had been fishing in Icelandic waters and when the Danes tried to do anything about it Britain deployed their standard gunboat diplomacy and the Danes not wanting to risk a war for litle old Iceland just backed off and ignored the British fishing. At the outbreak of the first cod war, Iceland had only existed as an independent country for 14 years. This was our moment of trial, this was the moment we had to choose what sort of republic we were going to be, were we going to bow down to a greater power that came in our waters to bully us and take away our only resource, or were we going to do what they danes had failed to do for centuries, were we going to prove to the world that this republic had a reason to exist and that we weren't better of in Danish hands (which is a common sentiment even today) Was this republic going to stand up for it's people and fight with all it got, no matter the odds, no matter the consequences. Would we stand up for ourselves? And we did, we gambled everything we had, used every tool at our disposal and we won the day. Today Iceland is Europes second largest producer of fish and our economy is very much defined by our fishing. Right after the cod wars ended we introduced a quota system to keep the fish population in check, A system that has very successfully protected us from overfishing and is likely the sole reason our Fishing grounds are some of the richest in the world. None of this would have been possible had we lost the cod wars and the truth is we would likely be akin to a third world country today if we had.
ehh, it was less about NATO, and more about Iceland and the US, because the real reason why the US kept intervening was cuz iceland was a strategic location to have a base on, in case ties with the USSR worsened(the cod wars occured during the cold war).

There's something reeeeeeeeeeeally important to add in the dispute between Canada and The Philippines that explains a lot: It's a regular practice that has been increasing recently, rich countries send its garbage to poor conuntries, in that way they meet the needs in regulations and laws about garbage control and treatment of solid wastes, first they send small amounts, then a little bit more, until they convert third world countries in their private dump, a lot of times they falsify companies in poor countries, apparently those companies are aimed to "recile" this garbage (justifing the import), but at the end, those companies just left the garbage "in a corner" polluting the poor country, it's a common strategy in European countries, specially Denmark, Germany, France and England, they send a lot of their garbage to African countries. I suppose nobody will be happy if their government allows that, so, well done for Philippine's president. here an example by BBC, I think it's one similar by DW about Germany and Denamark, but in Africa, specially electronic wastes. th-cam.com/video/XgUDU-_iJU4/w-d-xo.html

6:30 You forgot the best part of the conflict. The brazilian diplomate argued that for Brazil to accept the French scientific thesis that a lobster would be considered a fish when it "leaps" on the seafloor, then they would have in the same manner to accept the Brazilian premise that when a kangaroo "hops" it would be considered a bird. Also, the brazilian president Janio Quadros was already planning to invade french guiana and occupy it, but he renounced in the middle of the conflict thus nothing happened
There’s also Australia who’s wildlife is so dangerous that they managed to lose a war to a group of flightless birds. “They have begun to employ guerilla tactics” was an actual quote from the Australian captain.
Hey I've learned this before! Oversimplified posted a video called mini wars and the 4th mini war was the Emu war which made me laugh and made me confused
Tbf, they were kind of seriously overfishing at the coast. It wasn't sustainable to keep letting the countries fish around the coastline if you wanted long term sustainability

I live in Qatar and I remember the day the blockade was announced flights of airlines based in the blockading countries which were to depart from Doha airport in Qatar were cancelled their offices were shut, the Qatar Airways office in the UAE was raided by police and employees were thrown out. The usual Qatar Airways flights departing from Doha had their flight time increased by an average of 30+ mins. There was panic among residents and chaos at the supermarkets where people started panic buying and stocked up in case things ran out of stock and they did. For example, Coriander which was previously priced around 10-12 riyals/kg (~3 usd) started selling for 10x the price and that’s one example there were many things such as dairy products which were in a massive shortage that’s when we started having shelves restocked with Turkish products and fresh produce from Iran. A few months went by and Qatar started producing a lot of stuff which it didn’t before and that’s when things started getting normal.

@@MyRegardsToTheDodo That honestly is very incorrect. The US is still very keen on keeping Iceland as an ally. Especially now due to the increaseing tensions in the Artic. In fact ever since the Obama administration the US has been actively trying to reestablish a military presence in the country. Something that Iceland has repeatedly turned down. The artic is a growing hotbead between China, Russia and Thr USA and you think the Americans are just going to give up Iceland so the UK can fish in Icelandic waters??? Fuck no. The fact still remains that Iceland holds a key position in US dominance over the north Atlantic and they are absolutely not going to give that up.
@The8th Gemmer No that’s not where it was at all. The original border was just north of Hamburg. After the war of 1864 the border was moved up north near my home city of Kolding. Next the border was again moved south. But this time my kingdom only got the northern part of Schleswig. The Kiel canal divides the German Federal State of Schleswig-Holstein. Holstein was the other region lost in the War of 1864.
Also involving Canada: From Wikipedia- But in fact true. We used to have a satirical party called the Rhinoceros Party. Their mascot was Cornelius the First, (Named after a Rhino at a popular zoo here in Quebec). So, this happened... "During the Canadian federal election of 1984, the party made a major part of their platform declaring war on Belgium because a Belgian cartoon character, Tintin, killed a rhinoceros in one of the early works of the comics series. The party offered to call off the threatened Belgium-Canada war if Belgium delivered a case of mussels and a case of Belgian beer to Rhinoceros "Hindquarters" in Montreal (the Belgian Embassy in Ottawa did, in fact, do this)"
The US once built a fort about a mile too far up north, so that instead of being on the US side of the border that fort was on the Canadian side. When the US realized their mistake after about two years of building, the construction site was abandoned for around 25 years, until they managed to negotiate a change of the border with Canada, so that the fort would be on US soil again.
@deleted Super subtle... Given the lifespans of counties 25 years isn't that much time... (I'm being slightly jokey here, I don't actually have a major issue about it, I just think it's an example of the US not really respecting Canada and taking advantage of the situation.)

You think that for a second the US wouldn't have taken actions against the Uk? Only 3 years prior the US sited against the UK in a defensive war against Egypt a country that wasnt even allied to the US. You think they are going to ignore a an offensive war against their ally? Lastly US interests in Iceland were ever meant for Europes protection. But about American dominion over the north Atlantic a position that hasnt changed. The US still considers Iceland a vital ally.

Than they played one of histories funniest cat and mouse game where the Icelandic coast guard made fools of the Royal navy time and time again. One of such cases were the use of radios. In the beginning the Brits tried to create a surveillance system where they would try to spot the coast guard vessels and than warn trollers of their whereabouts over the radio and letting them know where it was safe to fish. The Icelandic coast guard simply recorded those transmissions and played them back to the radio at opportune moments. This lead the navy to abonden that tactic and instead tried to protect there trollers by making them travel in large groups surrounded by the navy. This simply made it so that it became damn near impossible to any troller to make a profit from fishing since they were all fishing in a tiny area.
All this would eventually lead to the two powers aggressively ramming each others vessels in an attempt to inflict damage upon one annother. Something that turns our the Icelanders were simply better at. At the end of the 3rd cod war 15 out of 22 royal frigates had been badly damaged and one was even decomissioned. 5 out of Icelands 8 vessels were damaged, one of which so much that the crew surrendered to the navy and were brought to England. On the way the Coast guard crew spent some time in the frigates kitchen, the cooks of which were all from Northern Ireland. There the Irish did what they could to convince the Icelanders to go out and atempt to take the ship by force and assured them they would aid them. The two groups spent alot of time discussing strategy and how to approach this matter. In the end the coast guard decided against it on the account of being too outnumbered by the navy even with the Irish help.
Any way in the end the Icelanders inflicted heavy economic damage to both the navy and the trollers illegally fishing in their waters and even though the conflicts were ultimately ended by Iceland threatening to leave nato that doesnt mean they did so without a fight and I belive it is more than fair to say that Iceland did simply win those wars both militarily and diplomatically.
That makes no real sense until you realize that this was during the Cold War, where Iceland was strategically important if the Sowjet Union ever decided to invade Europe. This card wouldn't work anymore today.

One of the main reasons why Iceland does not want to join the EU is the fact that EU still looks at fish stock as something you can "politically choose how much you can catch each year" instead of thinking about how large is that stock and what percentage of it is available to us to catch this year so we can maintain it in the future.

@@saltyman1848 I dont know about where exactly you can find it online. To the world ofcourse it's a bit of an obscure war that no one really mentions. But in Iceland it is a matter of great national pride and therefore a lot has been documented about it. The conflict is taught about in school's, documentaries have been made and countless books. That and the fact that I've had the privilege to talk to one of the Captains of the coast guard that served in the cod war personally. Who described the story in great detail.
@@saltyman1848 What you have to underatand is that to many this conflict justified Icelands existence as an independent republic and it is what would define our nation to the world. You see for centuries the Brits had been fishing in Icelandic waters and when the Danes tried to do anything about it Britain deployed their standard gunboat diplomacy and the Danes not wanting to risk a war for litle old Iceland just backed off and ignored the British fishing. At the outbreak of the first cod war, Iceland had only existed as an independent country for 14 years.
This was our moment of trial, this was the moment we had to choose what sort of republic we were going to be, were we going to bow down to a greater power that came in our waters to bully us and take away our only resource, or were we going to do what they danes had failed to do for centuries, were we going to prove to the world that this republic had a reason to exist and that we weren't better of in Danish hands (which is a common sentiment even today) Was this republic going to stand up for it's people and fight with all it got, no matter the odds, no matter the consequences. Would we stand up for ourselves?
And we did, we gambled everything we had, used every tool at our disposal and we won the day. Today Iceland is Europes second largest producer of fish and our economy is very much defined by our fishing. Right after the cod wars ended we introduced a quota system to keep the fish population in check, A system that has very successfully protected us from overfishing and is likely the sole reason our Fishing grounds are some of the richest in the world. None of this would have been possible had we lost the cod wars and the truth is we would likely be akin to a third world country today if we had.

There's something reeeeeeeeeeeally important to add in the dispute between Canada and The Philippines that explains a lot: It's a regular practice that has been increasing recently, rich countries send its garbage to poor conuntries, in that way they meet the needs in regulations and laws about garbage control and treatment of solid wastes, first they send small amounts, then a little bit more, until they convert third world countries in their private dump, a lot of times they falsify companies in poor countries, apparently those companies are aimed to "recile" this garbage (justifing the import), but at the end, those companies just left the garbage "in a corner" polluting the poor country, it's a common strategy in European countries, specially Denmark, Germany, France and England, they send a lot of their garbage to African countries.
I suppose nobody will be happy if their government allows that, so, well done for Philippine's president. here an example by BBC, I think it's one similar by DW about Germany and Denamark, but in Africa, specially electronic wastes. th-cam.com/video/XgUDU-_iJU4/w-d-xo.html

Yes he is a blabber mouth but he won't shut up until your First world country takes the trash out of our backyard, for first world countries, a quiet 3rd world country is a good Country so that they could get away with their actions.
Duterte was acting like a child tho. He could’ve handled the situation way better
I don't blame them either and I'm from Canada.
I think that the situation could have been handled way better from both sides, but higher prevention precautions should have happened here in Canada. I like the Philippines and I wouldn't want good relations between the countries to be ruined over something like this. Hopefully, a lesson was learned.
About making other countries into islands: every year a few people from both sides dig a bit along the border of Skåne, Sweden to force it back into danish control.

I live in Qatar and I remember the day the blockade was announced flights of airlines based in the blockading countries which were to depart from Doha airport in Qatar were cancelled their offices were shut, the Qatar Airways office in the UAE was raided by police and employees were thrown out. The usual Qatar Airways flights departing from Doha had their flight time increased by an average of 30+ mins. There was panic among residents and chaos at the supermarkets where people started panic buying and stocked up in case things ran out of stock and they did. For example, Coriander which was previously priced around 10-12 riyals/kg (~3 usd) started selling for 10x the price and that’s one example there were many things such as dairy products which were in a massive shortage that’s when we started having shelves restocked with Turkish products and fresh produce from Iran. A few months went by and Qatar started producing a lot of stuff which it didn’t before and that’s when things started getting normal.

Iceland: sToP oR i WilL lEaVe NaTo
It really is an over simplification to state Iceland won only by threatening to leave NATO. Icelands strategy in the cod war was to make it impossible for british trollers to make a profit while fishing in Icelandic waters. This included the coast guard dragging knives along the ocea floor cutting nets, arresting british sailors and doing there best to avoid the navy.This was incredibly effective and most trollers just gave up on coming there.
Than they played one of histories funniest cat and mouse game where the Icelandic coast guard made fools of the Royal navy time and time again. One of such cases were the use of radios. In the beginning the Brits tried to create a surveillance system where they would try to spot the coast guard vessels and than warn trollers of their whereabouts over the radio and letting them know where it was safe to fish. The Icelandic coast guard simply recorded those transmissions and played them back to the radio at opportune moments. This lead the navy to abonden that tactic and instead tried to protect there trollers by making them travel in large groups surrounded by the navy. This simply made it so that it became damn near impossible to any troller to make a profit from fishing since they were all fishing in a tiny area.
All this would eventually lead to the two powers aggressively ramming each others vessels in an attempt to inflict damage upon one annother. Something that turns our the Icelanders were simply better at. At the end of the 3rd cod war 15 out of 22 royal frigates had been badly damaged and one was even decomissioned. 5 out of Icelands 8 vessels were damaged, one of which so much that the crew surrendered to the navy and were brought to England. On the way the Coast guard crew spent some time in the frigates kitchen, the cooks of which were all from Northern Ireland. There the Irish did what they could to convince the Icelanders to go out and atempt to take the ship by force and assured them they would aid them. The two groups spent alot of time discussing strategy and how to approach this matter. In the end the coast guard decided against it on the account of being too outnumbered by the navy even with the Irish help.
Any way in the end the Icelanders inflicted heavy economic damage to both the navy and the trollers illegally fishing in their waters and even though the conflicts were ultimately ended by Iceland threatening to leave nato that doesnt mean they did so without a fight and I belive it is more than fair to say that Iceland did simply win those wars both militarily and diplomatically.
Back then: "Oh, no, we need US troops there, because Cold War."
Today: "Ok, don't let the door hit your a** on the way out."
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo That honestly is very incorrect. The US is still very keen on keeping Iceland as an ally. Especially now due to the increaseing tensions in the Artic. In fact ever since the Obama administration the US has been actively trying to reestablish a military presence in the country. Something that Iceland has repeatedly turned down. The artic is a growing hotbead between China, Russia and Thr USA and you think the Americans are just going to give up Iceland so the UK can fish in Icelandic waters??? Fuck no. The fact still remains that Iceland holds a key position in US dominance over the north Atlantic and they are absolutely not going to give that up.
Broman we maybe cute but we dont fuck around when in comes to our fish
MyRegardsToTheDodo you really took an L there bud
Isn’t Denmark already an island since they made the Kiel canal
Half island
That canal is located in Germany.
Jutland*
Erik Thomsen It used to be the German Danish border
@The8th Gemmer
No that’s not where it was at all.
The original border was just north of Hamburg. After the war of 1864 the border was moved up north near my home city of Kolding.
Next the border was again moved south. But this time my kingdom only got the northern part of Schleswig.
The Kiel canal divides the German Federal State of Schleswig-Holstein.
Holstein was the other region lost in the War of 1864.
I love this video, it's so entertaining to listen to these absolutely stupid conflicts XD
“One person actually died.”
And that friends, is why I’m booking a ticket to Iceland tomorrow to live there, even though I already live in New Zealand
Also involving Canada: From Wikipedia- But in fact true. We used to have a satirical party called the Rhinoceros Party. Their mascot was Cornelius the First, (Named after a Rhino at a popular zoo here in Quebec). So, this happened...
"During the Canadian federal election of 1984, the party made a major part of their platform declaring war on Belgium because a Belgian cartoon character, Tintin, killed a rhinoceros in one of the early works of the comics series. The party offered to call off the threatened Belgium-Canada war if Belgium delivered a case of mussels and a case of Belgian beer to Rhinoceros "Hindquarters" in Montreal (the Belgian Embassy in Ottawa did, in fact, do this)"
The US once built a fort about a mile too far up north, so that instead of being on the US side of the border that fort was on the Canadian side. When the US realized their mistake after about two years of building, the construction site was abandoned for around 25 years, until they managed to negotiate a change of the border with Canada, so that the fort would be on US soil again.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo That's fucked! Seems like a subtle way of stealing land....
@deleted Super subtle... Given the lifespans of counties 25 years isn't that much time... (I'm being slightly jokey here, I don't actually have a major issue about it, I just think it's an example of the US not really respecting Canada and taking advantage of the situation.)
@@t.estable3856 we got them back though, there is a US National Historical site in Canada. A former president's mansion.

Us: NATO IS NOTHING WITHOUT ICELAND STOP UNITED KINGDOM NOW
Well considering the royal navy got there ass handed to them time and time again by 5 I'll equipped Icelandic gunboats. I'd say that yes, Iceland is an important member.
@@ThatIcelandicDude Just because the British didn't fire at those boats. And back then the US needed a base there in case of a Sovjet attack on Europe, today the US wouldn't do anything.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo The British didn't fire on those boats becouse it would have been the end of them. Both Scandinacia and the US favoured Iceland's position in the war and would have responded quickly to an UK aggression. You can expect heavy sanctions on the UK as well as possible military response oh and all but the guarantee of the disintegration of Nato. You think that for a second the US wouldn't have taken actions against the Uk? Only 3 years prior the US sited against the UK in a defensive war against Egypt a country that wasnt even allied to the US. You think they are going to ignore a an offensive war against their ally?
Lastly US interests in Iceland were ever meant for Europes protection. But about American dominion over the north Atlantic a position that hasnt changed. The US still considers Iceland a vital ally.
Óðinn djöfull ertu að rústa þessum gæja #stolturíslendingur
@@ThatIcelandicDude it's worth noting that at the time the US considered the UK as much a threat/rival as an ally. The US spent a lot of the cold war purposely undermining british naval importance and strength.

Canada VS Philippines conflict sounds so futuristic 😂

It wouldn’t even be close
Why would he go to war... it would be close cause Canada has some good tech but low population
@@derrindouglas1936 they were talking about how all the other issues were kinda expected, but Canada vs Philippines is like an argument about pollution and such. You know how humans only care about that situation when it's almost too late so it's futuristic aka something expected to be set in the future
Derrin Douglas see the thing is the Canadian navy is actually blue water capable we have 12 frigates with 12 more on the way 6-8 AOPVs and 4 submarines that admittedly don’t work but the Philippines currently has 1 frigate with 1 on the way 1 corvette with 2 ordered 0 submarines with 1 ordered and a crap ton of coastal patrol vessels the real problem would be invading as Canada currently has no landing ships or refuelers the Philippines does but getting them across the ocean with only 1 or 2 escorts won’t go well and even if you made it across the ocean the terrain in western Canada is mountainous and cold in the winter not to mention if both sides tried to invade we would have no air support as both Canada and the Philippines have no aircraft carriers
"...and the First Cod War ended with no casualties."

In México we had a war against france called "la guerra de los pasteles" "the cakes war" all because during a dispute a market get damaged and the government refuse to pay the 60,000 pesos for indemization so a french baker organize a small revolt calling to france for support (by that time mexico get money from france for activate the economy after the independence) so france see an opportunity making an economic bloquede on the gulf of mexico in 27/11/1838 and attacking the fort of San Juan de Ulúa and the bay of Veracruz , by the end Santa Anna (yes the same guy from texas) go to the bay of veracruz to face the french, with months of conflict the mexican government agree to pay 20,000 pesos to france.
In summary Mexico go to war for not paying some cakes, the mesage here is to not lending a mexican money because we are able to go to war before paying
