How why did the Trojan war start?
Paris, the son of the King of Troy, seduced the wife (Helen) of a Greek king (Menelaus).

Menelaus was brother to Agamemnon, the King of Kings of Greece. Agamemnon then raised an army and attacked Troy, to bring back Helen and of course the loot. Of course the opportunity to destroy a rival kingdom and sacking the rich city of Troy played a minor :) role.
