Check out the American Civil War. It was jacked up like that from the top to the bottom. They started a war because they didn't want to change. The soldiers fought family and friends because of different beliefs or just because of the state they lived in.

I suppose when Hitler attacked Russia creating a war on two fronts and probably ended up losing World War II, based on his pride that the Germans were the superior race and had a destiny... they thought they could take Russia before winter had fallen... they guessed wrong.
Hitler ended up committing suicide in a bunker a few years later...

How about the Trojan war? Thousands of dead for one woman. I'd say, that fits to your task.
Wait a moment, the "war of Jenkin's ear" (1739-41, and yes, the reason was really just the loss of one ear) between England and Spain is even better.
