The traditional belief is that it never happened. The abundance of gods and heroes in the story, as well as the lack of physical evidence of the battle aided that, along with the fact that the only account is Homer's that would have been written years after. However, artifacts that could be from Troy and that battle have been found, so the official belief may change.
Another view:
It became too well entrenched to be entirely fictional. The theatre which developed around the story is probably based on a seris of Greek piratical looting of the whole area of western Asia Minor including destruction of a rich city called Troy. Excavations of Troy show a middle level which was burnt and may have been the city concerned. Otherwise, a legend continually embellished in theatrical performances for four hundred years before alphabetic writing became avaliable, and even after that many variations continued to appear.
