5 Wars With Unlikely & Unbelievable Causes...

War! The Human race never seems to fail in finding reasons for which to wage war upon itself. When we look back at the history of war and try to understand why they have broken out, we tend to see some causes appear over and over again as if we as a species are determined to repeat past mistakes rather than learn from them. Resources. Religion. Ideology. Border disputes. A hunger for power and conquest or simply good old-fashioned hatred of another. These are the reasons we have come to expect but if we examine history more closely, there are numerous conflicts that seemed to have been sparked by less obvious causes. In this episode, we are going to examine five wars sparked for reasons that perhaps you wouldn’t expect to see written in a history book. So, from a case of a stolen bucket to a war started over a game of football, here are five unlikely causes of real wars throughout history. Welcome to Wars of the World.
