a conflict lasting from 1835–1836
Due to the lack of satellite images and other modern technologies, state lines used to be very difficult to distinguish based on maps and geography. The Michigan and Ohio land claims overlapped slightly in a 468 sq. mile area called the Toledo Strip. The two were poised to go to war over this area of land (though the only casualty was a minor wound from a penknife), and it was only the fact that Michigan was not yet a state that kept the dispute from more bloodshed.
An agreement was reached; Michigan would cede the Toledo Strip to Ohio in exchange for statehood and the Upper Peninsula (at the time thought to be a useless bit of woodland). The Upper Peninsula was likely to have been given to Wisconsin, but it was not until 1841 that the rich copper deposits in the U.P. were discovered.

Historians, while unable to agree on which state won the Toledo War, unanimously agree that it was the state of Wisconsin which lost.

While G.W. Bush may have been the first War on Terrorer, Obama perfected the idea with drone strikes and body scanners, both of which seem futuristic and cool.

Get the War on Terrorer mug.When Vestroia became Draconia, a war was started on Earth 2. Territories left and right would fall to their knees. CL became Draconian CL. Years passed until the CL Revolution when the war ended.
