The blowing up of the USS Maine battleship in Havana Harbor. While the US government at the time claimed that the Spanish had blown up the Maine with a mine, historians have since suggested that it is unlikely that a mine caused the sinking. Instead they suggest that spontaneous combustion of coal on board the ship was to blame, or that the US government itself blew up the Maine in order to have an excuse to start a war with the Spanish. This tactic is known as a "false flag" operation.
