was Kaiser Wilhem I's arbitration commission supports U.S. claim to San Juan Islands before or after the pig war

Answer 1

The arbitration commission by Kaiser Wilhelm I that supported the U.S. claim to the San Juan Islands occurred after the Pig War. The Pig War refers to the border dispute between the United States and Britain over the San Juan Islands, which escalated in 1859 when a pig was shot. The situation was eventually peacefully resolved through arbitration. In 1872, Kaiser Wilhelm I issued an arbitration ruling that awarded the San Juan Islands to the United States, resolving the dispute that had arisen from the Pig War.
