The Shortest War in History: History's shortest war began and ended in 1896. British ships began bombing the island of Zanzibar at 9am, and Zanzibar surrendered at about 9:45am, that same morning. The battle was prompted by the ascension to Zanzibar's throne of Khalid bin Barghash, second son to Sultan Hamad bin Thuwaini, who had died two days before. The British, who had sovereignty over the island, opposed the new Sultan. When he refused to step down, the British fired upon the island, quickly bringing the insurrection to an end.

In addition he has announced that it woukd work well with a snowboard game........hmmmm 1080 Wii? Could be un;less they do a mii snowboarding game... hopefully they will have mii features in a traditional 1080 game! Therefore covering both the casual and hardcore/snowboarding scene.
