Yes, the Trojan War was not fought over Helen, it was fought for the dominance of the trading areas in that region. Success in war was the basis of all major civilizations - it was justified - and it cannot be denied.

Your question is meaningless. All wars are justified, in the minds of the aggressors, and not justfied, in the minds of the aggressees. The Trojan war was as justified as any war can be.

each thing electricdonkey stated is nice. to construct on precise of that, the tale of the Trojan warfare got here upon contained in the Iliad, Aeneid and different classical works is only possibly to be pretend, yet possibly equipped on some actuality. As stated formerly, there are archaeological evidences of warfare and siege on the region of Troy latest in western Turkey, so it truly is conceivable that the tale replaced into equipped upon actual activities yet adorned to make it an fairly sturdy tale with interesting characters, moral themes and god/goddess involvement. it truly is conceivable that key characters like Agamemnon, Achilles, Hector, Priam, etc, truly did exist, yet we in basic terms don't have the evidence.

Troy was a major gateway to shipping. As a trade centre, the city was quite wealthy. Also, steeling another kings wife is a good way to give a foreign power an excuse to go and get control of that vital trading space.
All wars start through greed, misunderstanding or God.

Is any war ever justified ?
Whatever, the story of Helene is of course pure fiction because the true excuse for the war was economical, as the city commanded access to an important place for commercial exchanges.
Then later came the poets (aedes) and the legends.

No, Helen should not have run off with Paris and her husband should have just figured good riddance.
