Helen was the daughter of Tyndareu, King of Sparta. Since Tyndareus had no sons, whomever Helen married would become King of Sparta. This, as well as her absolute beauty, meant that she had many suitors from all over Greece. Tyndareus feared naming a winner because any slighted losers might try to take Helen, and Sparta, by force. Odysseus, who felt he had no chance, came without a gift, but instead offered to Tyndareus a solution, which became known as the Oath of Tyndareus. All of the suitors, before a winner was named, had to swear that they would protect and defend the winner from anyone that wronged him. After this, Tyndareus named Menelaus, brother of Agamemnon, King of Mycenae, winner.
When Helen was spirited away to be Paris' prize (for awarding the Golden Apple of Discord to Aphrodite), Menelaus called on the other kings to fulfill their oaths, which they did.
That's the myth. Realistically, the Trojans and Achaeans would have eventually come into conflict anyway, if only over rights to control the shipping lanes in the Aegean ans Eastern Mediterranean. Helen's departure gave Menelaus and Agamemnon an excuse to beseige Troy, which was one of the richest cities in the world at that time.
