Which war officially lasted 335 years without a single death?

War of the Scilly Isles against the Netherlands

Background

From 1651 to 1986 the small Scilly Isles in England were officially at war with the Netherlands. It is just that nobody had noticed. Nobody fought, nobody died. Only in 1986 did both sides sign a peace treaty. This ended the longest peaceful war in history.
