Football. A six-day war fought by El Salvador and Honduras in 1969 was triggered by riots during a football match between the two countries. |

The War Of Jenkins Ear, between the Spanish and the English, in the 18th century. The Spanish cut of this guy Robert Jenkins ear and war was declared. He actually pickled his ear and presented it to the House Of Commons!
They all shouted "ear, ear", and off they went to war! |

I've forgotten what it was all about but I think that the war of Jenkin's ear takes some beating. |

Britain and China the Opium Wars fought because the Chinese wanted to stop the British selling their people opium.Britain must have been the first and biggest drug cartel.My second choice would have been the football match already mentioned. |

I'm truley glad i'm living through this current war and that soon i'll be participating as a US marine because in a 5000 years, this will be a very important historical war. Troy and the Trojan horse will not even compare. They will be making movies about the Bush era War..i guarantee it. Only the movies will obviously be some sort of futuristic form of entertainment where the images are sent directly into the audiences' brain...but that's besides the point. This war will be famous for so many reasons...just pick one of the reasons out of a hat and that is one reason why this war will be remembered. Whether it's the Great Leader who Freed the Middle East or the Mastermind Leader Who Tricked the Entire World Into War With the Middle East or the Leader Who Saved the Planet From Terrorists....how ever fabricated or factual....it will be remembered....for good or for bad...
...in 5000 years this war might even be the plot for the prequal to the Planet of the Apes... |

Here is the shortest war - 45 minutes

There was also one fought over the non-payment of cheese (British navy action) which lasted about as long.
Although the El Salvador & Honduras border skirmish was probable the stupidiest of all. |

The assassination of the arch duke Ferinand was blamed for the start of WW1.
That is the popular reason given but I do not believe it. |
