List of wars extended by diplomatic irregularity
- List of wars extended by diplomatic irregularity
There are several claims of wars extended by diplomatic irregularity, often by a small country named in a declaration of war being accidentally omitted from the concluding peace treaty of a wider conflict. These alleged extended wars have only been "discovered" after the fact, and had no impact during the long period (often hundreds of years) they were supposedly de jure in force.
The "discovery" of an extended war is often an opportunity for a ceremonial peace to be contracted by local authorities.
Such a situation is to be distinguished from that of parties deliberately avoiding a peace treaty when political disputes outlive military conflict, as in the Kuril Islands dispute between Japan and Russia, or there being no formal peace treaty at the end of the Korean War (though in October 2007, North Korea and South Korea agreed to seek a peace treaty [ [http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSSEO15784020071004?feedType=RSS&feedName=topNews Koreas seek formal end to Korean War] Reuters.com, October 4th 2007] ).
