80 | Denmark Was in Europe's Longest War and No One Knows (w/ Anders Morgenstierne)
Episode description
This week Derek is joined by Anders Morgenstierne, who has returned to WAYDID to discuss an obscure war from Danish history. Most Danes don't even know about this war - and that's because for most of history, no one in Denmark realized that it happened. During the period, Copenhagen was attacked twice and most of the Danish navy was destroyed. Despite all of that, for this particular war - which lasted 172 years and makes it the longest European war in history, there was not one single casualty.
Enjoy this episode and don't forget this bizarre piece of history for your next pub quiz or Danish citizenship exam.
