About this listen
Can a war be decided by a single cannonball hitting a kitchen utensil? Believe it or not, in 1784, it happened! Explore the utterly unique and hilariously anticlimactic Kettle War between the Habsburg Monarchy and the Dutch Republic. Discover how imperial ambition, stubborn sovereignty, and one perfectly aimed (or mis-aimed) shot at a kettle brought two European powers to the brink, only to end with a diplomatic agreement.
