And the Sonderbund war, 1847.

That was a while ago...

Ponte Delgado; provincial capital of the Azores since
shortly after the settlement could be a contender.

FOught with Portugal and the allies in WW1, and was an important
hideout for allied ships in the U-boat war.


It would depend on wether there was actual fighting in Ponte Delgado.

I cant find anything suggesting that.

That the Azores was in a state of war because of the relation to
Portugal really doesn't do the trick.

If that was the case, then Iceland and its cities also followed Denmark
into WWII until they declared full independence.

Iceland became fully independant in 1918, it declared a republic in
1944.


And when were the Azores settled?

Late 15th century .

As I stated in another post, the best contenders are Iceland and
Andorra.


Maybe, maybe not.

I would look into portuguese revolutions etc.
There might be something there.
