15 Wars That Started For The Dumbest Reasons In History

Wars are supposed to start over land, power, or revenge. These 15 didn't. From an ear pickled in a jar for seven years to a war Australia lost against 20,000 emus, these are real, documented conflicts that kicked off over the pettiest reasons imaginable — a bucket, a kettle, a dog, a pig, and one chair nobody was even allowed to sit on. If you like dark comedy history, weird historical facts, and stories that sound made up but aren't, this one's for you.
