Paris, (a Trojan) was in love with the Helen, (a Spartan) known as the most beautiful woman in the world, so Paris kidnapped her and Sparta wanted their queen back, so they launched one thousand ships to get her back. The Spartans eventually won by hiding in a huge wooden horse, disguised as a "parting" gift for the Trojans. when they opened their gates, the Spartans came out at night to kill the men and carry off their women, saving Helen. The war/siege lasted ten years

This is all according to Homer's story.
