Since the emergence of mankind, there has never been real peace. In the thousands of years of human civilization, bloody wars have occurred almost every year or even every day.

Usually, fighting is for profit. For example, when Japan invaded the Korean peninsula, it was to acquire the land there and give Japan a better living habitat. It may also be that China helped South Korea in the last century. Although the war didn't happen at home, for the sake of our national security, Chairman Mao decided to send troops to North Korea to stop the Americans from advancing.

There is no justice or injustice in war. Every war must have a reason, and it must have great benefits. But there have been some worthless wars in history, and even the reasons for the wars are wonderful.

Let's talk about it today I think the most wonderful war was actually caused by a pastry shop. In other words, in the19th century, many lands on the American continent belonged to European colonists, and many of them belonged to terra nullius.

At that time, the United States had just been founded, and its land area was only a part of the Atlantic coast. Compared with the present area, it is completely incomparable.

Mexico on the American continent was once a powerful country, but in the face of the crazy expansion of the United States, it unfortunately met greedy France. As a result, it is conceivable that under the siege of many powers, Mexico gradually declined and its land area became smaller and smaller.

Today's pastry war is a war between Mexico and France. At that time, France took advantage of the United States to attack and rob Mexico. Just like Japan in those days, even if the war was unjust, it was necessary to make a name for itself. Think of a decent reason, at least its reputation was much better, while France's excuse was a conflict in a pastry shop.

In other words, before the war began, the French government sent many businessmen to Mexico as intelligence collectors. France deliberately created this conflict when it thought it was almost ready.

At that time, several Mexican officers went to a French pastry shop for dinner. The French deliberately humiliated Mexico, laughed at Mexicans, angered officers and smashed everything in the store.

Afterwards, France claimed compensation from Mexico, but Mexico ignored it, so France began to attack Mexico. Finally, the war lasted for a whole year before it was reconciled with the intervention of Britain. Because it was caused by a pastry shop, it is also called a pastry war.

This incident fully proves that weak countries will not be respected by powerful countries. As long as they have interests, even if you have no problems, they can still make up excuses to attack you, leaving you helpless. Is this rare in history?
