The War of the Oaken Bucket

Guys, guys, guys, did you know there was literally a war fought over a bucket? Yep, the War of the Oaken Bucket in 1325 between Modena and Bologna in Italy started because some Modenese soldiers swiped a wooden bucket from a Bologna well. It led to a full-out battle with around 2,000 casualties... over a bucket. They still keep the damn bucket in Modena's cathedral as a trophy. Imagine dying for that.
