Eris devised the golden apple contest that triggered the Trojan War in mythology. Eris had a golden apple that she says can only go to the most beautiful goddess. So Athena, Hera, and Aphrodite asked Paris to judge their beauty to see who wins the apple. Basically, Paris gave the apple to Aphrodite because she promised him that Helen, the most beautiful woman in the world, will be his wife if he chose her. Aphrodite helped Paris to steal Helen away from her husband which caused the Greeks to start the Trojan War.
Eris was truly vital to that war's beginning, because it was SHE who threw the Apple of Discord and it was SHE who cackled softly about how "the Trojan war will be the bloodiest, longest, and most harrowing war in the history of mankind." (For more information about the Trojan war, read the kids version of Aeneas.)
eris
She is the god of discord that yells at the start of the Trojan war
A golden apple thrown by Eris, the goddess of discord was 'for the fairest'.
Eris is at the root of the whole thing, having thrown the apple of discord, but the war was fought over Helen of Troy.

No Eris the goddess of spite did.

when eris wasn't invited to a wedding she threw a golden apple to the goddess that includes Athena Aphrodite and persephone it was mean't to be for the fairest all the goddesses fought for the apple thus causing the war
Eris goddess of strife and discord, because she is the one to start the golden apple argument, and have the Athena, Hera and Aphrodite start arguing for who should deserve the apple. This is the root cause of the Trojan war, which was caused by Eris. OR Paris because he took Helen from Menelaus so Menelaus got mad and started the war to get Helen and take the Trojans city, Troy
Yes, in the Trojan war
A Golden Apple - This led to an argument between the major goedesses, which, in turn, caused the Trojan war
