The World's Longest War. The world's longest war, on the other hand, spanned 355 335 years without a single shot fired. During the English Civil War (1642 - 1651), the Parliamentarians beat the Royalists further and further away from London, until it was forced to retreat to the Isles of Scilly off the Cornish coast.
This peculiar war was named the Three Hundred Thirty Five Year War. British and Dutch sources claim that it was also the longest war in history. War was declared on April 17, 1651 by the Dutch against the Islands of Scilly off the tip of Great Britain near Cornwall. A peace treaty was finally signed on April 17, 1986. While the 335 Year War was certainly a long one, I disagree with the assessment that it was the longest war in history.
