Bill 118 HRES 1405, also known as the "Recognizing the 165th anniversary of the peaceful resolution of the Pig War crisis," is a resolution introduced in the US Congress to commemorate the peaceful resolution of the Pig War crisis that occurred 165 years ago.

The Pig War crisis took place in 1859 on San Juan Island, located in the Pacific Northwest. The dispute arose between the United States and Great Britain over the ownership of the island, which was claimed by both countries. The crisis escalated when an American farmer shot a pig that belonged to a British settler, leading to a standoff between American and British troops on the island.

In 1872, an international arbitration commission ruled in favor of the United States, granting ownership of San Juan Island to the US. The resolution aims to recognize the importance of diplomacy and peaceful conflict resolution in resolving disputes between nations. It also highlights the long-standing friendship and cooperation between the United States and Great Britain.
