Wait, That Actually Happened? Mind-bending Historical Moments You Won’t Believe
The War of the Bucket
Back in 1325, an odd conflict erupted between the city-states of Modena and Bologna in Italy. Believe it or not, their dispute was over a simple water well bucket. It’s remarkable how something so trivial can cause such a fierce battle.
When the Bolognese stole their bucket, the Modenese became enraged and declared war. Surprisingly, this clash, dubbed the ‘War of the Bucket,’ claimed the lives of about 2,000 people. It may seem like a silly movie script, but it is, unfortunately, an actual historical incident.
