Odd European Borders (Richard Stephenson)

Join Richard Stephenson for fascinating exploration into the strangest geopolitical anomalies across Europe and beyond, where history and geography collide in unexpected ways. You will discover the lighthearted "Whiskey War" over Hans Island, a peaceful "conflict" where Canada and Denmark have spent decades taking turns "invading" the land to exchange bottles of spirits...and much more!
