The War on the Silly Isles

The Silly Pirates lashed out, attacking, sinking, and capturing ships throughout the English Channel. The Netherlands sent Admiral Martin Harpensoont Trump to deal with things. But then somebody realized that if Trump conquered the islands, he might conquer the islands, and claim them for the Netherlands. So, the Commonwealth Navy laid siege to Silly, invaded, and forced the surrender of John Granville. A war which was interrupted by the Commonwealth before a shot could be fired, and a war which then was forgotten for 335 years.
