USA Almost Went To WAR Over Bird POOP💩

USA Almost Went To WAR Over Bird POOP💩 #shorts #viral Did you know that once the US almost went to war over bird poop? It sounds funny, but in the 1850s, the United States passed an actual law allowing any American citizen to claim any uninhabited island covered in a thing called Guano. For the United States, that's bird poop, by the way. But here's the real game. This wasn't stupidity. Guano was white gold. Guano, sea bird poop, contains 33% nitrogen, 13% phosphoric acid, and vital nutrients. Before synthetic fertilizers, this was highly prized because it was a more powerful fertilizer than other common options, making it the world's best fertilizer. Farmers needed it, and even countries fought over it. Under the Guano Islands Act of 1856, America claimed over 100 random islands worldwide. Some are still US territories today. Nations nearly went to war over these poop-covered rocks because whoever controlled the guano controlled the food production. Modern ended the guano wars, but America still owns eight of those islands today, all because bird poop once fed the world. #usa #war #birdpoop #poop #guano #whitegold #geography #geographyfacts #history #historyfacts #facts #map #maps #worldmap #countries #coggnize
