According to the legend, it was due to the Trojan prince Paris 'abduction' of the Greek woman Helen (aka Helen of Sparta) from her husband King Menelaus of Sparta.

Note, the legend also says she went willingly and therefore it was not an 'abduction', and that this is an even with very few facts, the more 'realistic theory' would be that war against Troy was already in motion and that there was little care for Helen's return, it simply provided reason for war.
