The British Camp and the Pig Wars by Alaric and Lizbeth

The Pig War was started because an American pig was shot by British soldiers. The pig had wandered near the British camp and a few soldiers decided to have some fun with it. Long story short, they ended up killing the pig and the American officers were furious about it, and since the British and America were trying to decide who got which islands, this did not help their relationship. Even though the American and British officers hated each other, the soldiers had no problem with each other and they were just doing what they were told. After the incident, the American soldiers would sneak down to the British camp and basically party with the other soldiers, despite how much the officers hated each other. This continued for quite some time until a German Arbitrator put and end to the conflict and the Americans gained the island.
