For example, the 1898 attack on the USS Maine which led to the Spanish-American war has often been speculated to be one.
In 1933 the Reishstag fire blamed on communists a week before elections that put enough Nazis in office to allow Hitler to rise to power, this most definately was one.
Go wild.
I really thought this would get some traction in the outer limits conspiracy debunking thread but perhaps its just too uninteresting a topic. We'll see if it raises any discussion here as I'm curious to what people will list.
