There are often many different versions of the same myth. Of all of the versions of the myth I have read I have yet to read one in which Helen was blinded. Also if you want to trace the war to a single person to blame, some people fit to burden the blame are: Eris- for throwing the apple, Venus- for giving Paris Helen, and Paris- for choosing Venus as the rightful owner of the golden apple.

Greek kidnapped Helen of Troy, Troy attacked Greece. war ensued.
According to the Illiad, the Trojan war began when Paris of Troy took Helen, the wife of Menelaus the King of Sparta. Paris and Helen went to Troy. Menelaus, the husband of Helen sent armies to help him attack Troy to get Helen back.As well, Troy was an important city for trade, and the Greeks were looking for any excuse to go to war with it to gain wealth and control.
Helen, the wife of King Menelaus of Sparta, was in Troy during the Trojan War where she had been taken by Paris, son of the King of Troy. It was to rescue her and punish the Trojans for taking her that the war started. Many historians agree with the biographer Plutarch (writing in 100AD) that Helen was in fact in Egypt during the Trojan War, as there are signs to that effect. Also if Helen had been in Troy, and Troy was faring so badly in the war, Helen would have been handed over for the sake of the city whether Paris consented or not.
