Burning of the Reichstag
In 1933, the Reichstag building in Nazi Germany was firebombed by Hitler's goons, creating a problem. Soon after, the incident was blamed on a mentally ill bystander, who had nothing to do with the fire. This act was later blamed on Hitler's political enemies, and the population reacted with a desire for revenge on those responsible, and also begged for protection. In the midst of the emotional response to the incident, a solution was provided that would ease the fears of the masses; grant the new leader more power. In turn, Hitler was given dictatorial powers to "save" Germany from a new grave (manufactured) threat.
Operation Himmler
Hitler also staged another event in order to justify his "Blitzkrieg" invasion of Poland in 1939, using the same principle. On the night of August 31, 1939, a squad of German soldiers went to the Gleiwitz station and broadcast a message in Polish, urging Poles to attack Germans - the operation was titled "Operation Himmler". The broadcast was intended to appear as if an "anti-German" Polish insurgent was responsible. The Germans had a problem - they needed someone to blame. Knowing this, a prisoner was taken out of jail and shot, dressed up in a Polish uniform, shot dead, and left at the scene. This single dead prisoner was used as the pretext for the bloody battle to begin.
Operation Northwoods
In the 1960's a plan was created by the US military to convince Americans that a military invasion of Cuba was necessary - and bloody measures would be taken, even if it called for the shedding of innocent blood.

In this now declassified document, detailed plans are laid out regarding how to deceive America into supporting an invasion of Cuba. The plan consists of several nefarious ways of deceiving Americans. The document explains:
"3. A "remember the Maine" incident could be arranged in several forms:
a. We could blow up a US ship in Guantanamo bay and blame Cuba.
b. We could blow up a drone (unmanned) vessel anywhere in Cuban waters."
The document continues, explaining the staged rescue operation...
"The US could follow up with an air/sea rescue operation covered by US fighters to "evacuate" the remaining members of the non-existent crew."
"...Casualty lists in US newspapers would cause a helpful wave of national indignation."
So far, the plans have appeared at least to be restrained to non-lethal means. The plans go on to talk about committing murder on US soil.
"We could develop a communist Cuban terror campaign in the Miami area, in other Florida cities and even in Washington."
Operation Ajax
In 1953, the CIA conducted covert operations in Iran designed to take down the democratically elected leader of Iran, the Shah, Mohammed Mossadegh. Mossadegh, among other things which didn't bode well with certain western interests, had nationalized the oil fields. With a perceived threat from the Shah, the CIA began putting agents on the ground in Iran. According to the CIA website "The plan comprised propaganda, provocations, demonstrations, and bribery, and employed agents of influence, "false flag" operatives, dissident military leaders, and paid protestors."
One last example is a story carried in the London Independent on December 6, 2004. The headline: "Opposition was to be smeared with terror attack, says official". The article states, "Ukraine's embattled government is ready to stage faked terrorist attacks to destabilise the country and discredit the opposition..." the article continues, quoting the government source from which the information came, saying, "One of the plans was to blow up a pipeline and blame it on opposition supporters."
