Who made the decision to go to war with troy?

When Menelaus and Helen married, every other man had to swear an oath saying they would not bother the relationship (as Helen was the most beautiful women in the world). However, when visiting Sparta, Helen was kidnapped and brought to Troy. So, Menelaus rallied the Greeks and set out for Troy. In a sense, Menelaus made the decision to go to war with Troy.


Why did the Trojan war really start?

There were a couple of reasons. A simple one is that the Greeks of the time, the 13th-11th century BC Mycenaeans, were a people with war as a central part of their culture. A more politically complex reason does involve Helen of Sparta. Helen was the daughter of the king of Sparta. She may have been as beautiful as the myths claim, but truthfully it doesn't really matter. Whoever married her would inherit the throne of Sparta and become king. The man chosen to be her husband would only be king of Sparta as long as he was married to Helen. Menelaus, the brother of King Agamemnon of Mycenae, ended up marrying Helen and earning the throne. When Paris and Helen eloped, Menelaus knew he would lose the throne to Sparta. Getting support from his brother Agamemnon, who as ruler of Mycenae was interested in keeping Sparta under his control through Menelaus, Menelaus gathered allies and struck out against the Trojans.


Why do all the kings of Greece go with menelaus to get Helen back?

All the kings of Greece join Menelaus in his quest to retrieve Helen because of their shared oath, sworn during her marriage to Menelaus, to support him against anyone who would wrong him. This pledge fosters a sense of unity and obligation among the Greek leaders, compelling them to rally together for the cause. Additionally, the idea of restoring honor and reclaiming a stolen queen resonates deeply with the values of heroism and loyalty in Greek society. Thus, they collectively embark on the Trojan War, motivated by both duty and the desire for glory.
