Okay, I thought of an interesting idea: try to come up with a scenario where at least two western powers have an unbelievably random or unlikely (from OTL perspective) war in the Victorian era (preferably later era, 1865 - 1900, so no easy ACW involvements). Do whatever you need to do to make it work, but within reason.

Something like this:

On October 3rd, 1889, a Portuguese warship somehow accidentally sinks an American vessel. A very short, small war (mostly at sea and possibly undeclared) follows before international intervention ends the quarrel and everyone comes to their senses.

That's just the first thing that popped into my mind. Preferably, you should come up with something that actually is a bloody, large-scale war with strong feelings on both sides, but small-scale fights work, too.
