Top 10 Most Retarded Wars Ever
“War! What is it good for?” sings Edwin Starr in his 1970 song, before giving an unambiguous answer: “absolutely nothing.” In these ten cases war was just that “absolutely nothing”. Here is a list of ten wars that began for the most retarded reasons.
10. The Football War
A couple of hard-fought football matches started a war between El Salvador and Honduras. 2000 people lost their lives. Despite the fact that 40 years had gone by, a formal peace treaty, a decision by the International Court of Justice and the support of the Organization of American States, the dispute still isactive.
9. The Pastry War
A French pastry chef claimed his restaurant was damaged by Mexican offers. As a result France declared war and demanded 600,000 pesos to cover cost of damages. The most memorable event of the conflict was the further enhancement of the prestige and political influence of the dictator Antonio López de Santa Anna. He assumed control of the Mexican army and lost a leg in the fighting.
8. The War of Jenkins Ears
Captain Jenkins got his ear cut off by Spanish coast guards in the West Indies. As a result, Great Britain declared war on Spain soon after.
7. The Anglo-Zanzibar War
This was the shortest war in recorded history. Zanzibar surrendered to Britain after just 38 minutes of war. About 500 people, mostly Bargash’s soliders, died.
6. The War of the Bucket
