During the cuban missile crisis, a soviet submarine was breaching the naval blockade by the US when they got detected by sonar. US forces started deploying depth charges to force the submarine to surface. What they didn't know is that Soviet officers in that submarine were convince they're being attacked because WW3 has already began so one by one they gave their nuclear consent to launch a nuclear tipped torpedo. All except one officer. That officer did not give his consent, fully believing ww3 hasn't started. That one officer single handedly saved our entire species from extinction. The sub surfaced eventually, and US forces escorted the submarine out of cuban waters.

If that officer also believe what the others were thinking, millions and potentially our species would be lost.

it didn't trigger. It was the casus belli. And even then not exactly.

It's a really cool story and btw that officer's name is Vasili Arkhipov. The sad part about this story is that no one really talks about it.

He did, but he was also the person who invented leaded gasoline and freon.

Yeah, this is the trigger, though it is said that the German Empire has already plans for war against the Russian Empire sometime around in 1914-1915, before the Russians modernize and present a threat to the then economically-powerful Germans.

Though, if you'll ask me, another watershed moment in history is the Defenestration of Prague in 1618, which eventually triggered the Thirty Years' War, and resulted in the Treaty of Westphalia. That war did trigger the people to ask, and eventually criticize, the 'divine mandate' of monarchs in Europe.

Another case would be the Sack of Baghdad during the Mongol Conquest of the Abbasid Caliphate. The fateful event was so traumatic, it got embedded in the memories of Muslims then and now (the end of the Islamic Golden Age). It is said that this event became one of the reasons for the 'conservative radicalism' of some of the extremists that lasted today.
