53 | The Danish border you probably can't find on a map
Manage episode 436432204 series 3529085
We welcome back Mike Walsh to explain the fascinating story of Denmark's newest land border with an unexpected neighbor – Canada! Mike takes us through the discovery and exploration of the remote Hans Island, a series of back-and-forth disputes between the two nations, and how a light-hearted "whiskey war" eventually resulted in the world's third-shortest land border. It's a wild story of history that is quintessentially Danish (and Canadian) passive-aggressive diplomacy. Mike and Derek cover this weirdly fascinating tale of geographical adventure through humor and unexpected facts that feel stranger than fiction.
Don’t forget to share this podcast with any friends who have made the move to Denmark.
