The Dumbest War Ever Recorded in History! (The Bucket War)

The 40-Year War That Started Because of a Bucket In 1325, soldiers from Modena stole a wooden bucket from Bologna. Bologna declared war. Thousands died. The bucket is still in Modena. But here's what nobody tells you. They weren't really fighting over the bucket. By the time that bucket disappeared, there was already a century of papal wars, imperial politics, and deeply personal hatred sitting underneath these two cities, pressurised and waiting. The bucket didn't start anything. It just gave everyone a permission that was needed. This is the full story.
