What was the biggest war started over the littlest thing? I mean, really pointless war, where thousands died over something pathetic

Timur sent beyazid poo once.

honestly for the amount of people who died, WWI definetly takes the cake. the war basically started cause kaiser wilhelm gave a blank check rob austria with zero though put into it and next thing you know he had a world war on his hands

Khwarezm just had to kill the diplomat for no reason.

Checked. Yeah that was a retarded move, poor middle east

World War 2 was started all because Poland thought it could get away with attacking a German radio outpost while being under the umbrella of protection of defencive alliances with Britain and France.

I mean they really should have picked a bigger or more valuable target.

>Gleiwitz wasn't a false flag
can you give me proofs or is this another delusional stormfag theory?

>The Football War (Spanish: La guerra del fútbol), also known as the Soccer War or 100 Hour War, was a brief war fought between El Salvador and Honduras in 1969. Existing tensions between the two countries coincided with rioting during a 1970 FIFA World Cup qualifier. The war began on 14 July 1969, when the Salvadoran military launched an attack against Honduras. The Organization of American States (OAS) negotiated a cease-fire on the night of 18 July (hence "100 Hour War"), which took full effect on 20 July. Salvadoran troops were withdrawn in early August.

>Both sides of the Football War suffered extensive casualties. Some 300,000 Salvadorans were displaced, many had been forcibly exiled or had fled from war-torn Honduras, only to enter an El Salvador in which the government was not welcoming. Most of these refugees were forced to provide for themselves with very little assistance. Over the next few years, more Salvadorans returned to their native land, where they encountered overpopulation and extreme poverty.[9]
El Salvador suffered about 900 mostly civilian dead. Honduras lost 250 combat troops, and over 2,000 civilians during the four-day war. Most of the war was fought on Honduran soil and thousands more were made homeless. Trade between Honduras and El Salvador had been greatly disrupted, and the border officially closed. This damaged the economies of these nations tremendously and threatened the Central American Common Market (CACM).

note i know there were deeper causes than the football classification but that was pretty much the detonant of the conflict, which is still ridiculous imho
