If you read Homer's "Illiad" then it's speculated that the Trojan war was started by Paris and his choice of Aphrodite as the fairest of the three goddesses, Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite. It is unsure if Helen was actually in love with Paris, with the aid of Aphrodite, or if she was forcefully abducted by Paris, either way this struck the start of the Trojan war.
Though upon reading other texts, Herodotus: The Histories, Herodotus says that the Persians believed it was the the Pheonicians who started the conflict by abducting the King of Argos' daughter, Io, and taking her back to Egypt. The Greeks then went to Tyre and abducted the King's daughter, Europa, thus making the score even. However, the Greeks committed a second crime of abducting another woman, Meada, from Aea in Colchis. When asked for compensation for Meada being abducted the Greeks gave none since no compensation had ever been given for Io's abduction.
All in all this eventually comes down to Paris, son of Priam, who stole himself a wife, Helen, thinking that there would be no consequences due to the fact that no punishments had been handed out before to others. He was wrong in this respect.
