War of the Oaken Bucket



The War of the Oaken Bucket, (1325-1337) is a jocular term for a military conflict between the Italian city-states of Modena and Bologna, starting when Modena soldiers invaded Bologna with the goal of stealing an oaken bucket. They succeeded, but several thousands of Bologna citizens died in the meanwhile.
