Ems Dispatch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The causus belli between Prussia and France was a little now regarded telegram. It was part of a bunch of traffic between Berlin and Paris over the succession of Spain. Napoleon got a little testy and gave the Prussians a nastygram.
The deal was, France wasn't ready, and Bismarck was itching for a fight. Within a year there was no longer a French empire and Paris was besiged.
That isn't possible now, but a lot worse things are. Do you want a universe where every day we have frightening people looking for a fight, and bull in a China shop Trump giving them one every day?
