So basically the point of this thread is to come up with the stupidest reasons for a ATL war that you can think of for example...

The Manure War:
Prussian and Austrian relations where at a dangerous low already, however when the Prussian King sent a letter to the Austrian Emperor, the messager accidentally dropped it in a pile of horse dung, but decided to deliver it anyway. The Emperor, mistaking this as intentional, was furious that his rival would dare send him a message smeared in horse waste and declared war.
