Lots of wars have been fought for less.

Yep. Look up the War of Jenkin's Ear for a good example.

How about the Soccer War between El Salvador and Honduras? It was the last combat in which Vought F4U's were used -- by Honduras.

The war stopped when the combatants ran low on everything, and their neighbors refused to resupply them.
