evidence: Hans Island is an island in the very center of the Kennedy Channel of Nares Strait in the High Arctic region, halfway between Greenland and the Canadian Arctic. With the Danish establishing control over Greenland in 1815, Denmark was the first to have a significant presence in the High Arctic region. After the annexation of Alaska to the United States and the creation of Canada in 1867, British and American efforts to explore and chart the region ramped up. Following the British Arctic Territory transfer to Canada, its sovereignty shook the area. This strategic territory transfer, based on the areas claimed by explorer Martin Frobisher in the 16th century, the aim was to prevent American claims based on the Monroe Doctrine (to oppose more European colonialism in North America). [...] Despite the serious official nature of the "War," the manner in which the conflict was litigated was light-hearted and most likely included several other undocumented beverage exchanges. On July 13th, 2005, Canadian soldiers visited the island again, erecting an Inukshuk and Canadian flag. Additionally, Canadian Defence Minister Bill Graham landed on the island, leading Denmark to file a complaint in which he stated: "We consider Hans Island to be part of Danish territory, and will therefore hand over a complaint about the Canadian minister's unannounced visit." This "pseudo-confrontation" was finally been resolved in 2022 with a historic agreement marking the formal and final division of Hans Island.
