The Trojan war was a war between the ancient Greek city-state Troy and the ancient Greek city-state of Sparta and their allies. The war started because Paris from Troy went to Sparta as a guest of the Spartan king, Menelaus. In Sparta Paris fall in love with the Spartan queen, Helen and she came back with him to Troy. Menelaus wanted to have his wife back so he invaded Troy with his army.

The war was really long but the Spartans (it is said in Greeks myths)finally managed to get past the Trojan walls by giving them a huge horse made of wood where the Spartan warriors hide. The Trojans didn't know that so they received the gift and thought that the war was over, but at night the Spartan warriors went out the horse, opened the doors and the Spartan armies with their allies fall over Troy.
