Anne didn't actually cause any War.

The OP didn't mention Anne causing any war, just causing one of the bigger changes in England.

This is an interesting topic!

Cleopatra VII - Not a beauty in the classical sense, but she was so damn charming that she seduced two of the most powerful men in Rome, in addition to being leader of Egypt. Rumor has it: She was the perceived 'cause' of the war between Mark Antony and Octavian.

Agrippina the Younger - Enticed her uncle into marriage and convincing him to adopt her son, Nero, as heir to the throne..... and we all know how that went down. Rumor has it: She supposedly poisoned Claudius

Margaret O'Neil Eaton ('Petticoat Affair') - Beautiful, lively, and witty woman who caught the attention of John Eaton, U.S. Senator and Secretary of War during Andrew Jackson's presidency. Unfortunately, she had a questionable past which displeased many of the wives of Jackson's cabinet who officially "snubbed" her and put her on the blacklist socially which pissed President Jackson who tried to force them to accept her. They refused, and partly because of this, Jackson completely rearranged his cabinet. Van Buren (who supported the Eatons) replaced John C. Calhoun as Jackson's vice president running mate for the next reelection and Calhoun returned to South Carolina speaking in defense of slavery, state's rights, limited government, help pointing the south towards Civil War. Rumor has it: What was in her past that caused such an uproar? According to legend, O'neil's first husband apparently committed suicide after learning of his wife's affair with Eaton.

Wallis Simpson - An American socialite. A British Prince. Abdication. Hitler. Sex. Power. Rumor has it: Edward VIII abdicated the throne after he was told he wouldn't be able to marry Wallis, thus having the crown move to George VI, father of the current Queen.

OMG

Woman can cause truly big events and don't even need to move a finger to do that

You are missing the major issue with Anne Boleyn. Henry VIII did not divorce Catherine of Aragon because Anne "was so hot." Henry needed a son to be heir to the throne. Catherine only produced one stillborn son and two other sons that died less than two months after birth. There were also three daughters, of which only one survived infancy (the future Queen Mary I). The Tudor dynasty was less secure with only a single female offspring surviving, and Catherine had gone beyond her childbearing years. Henry needed a new wife to continue trying to get a male heir.

In this town, I'm the leper with the most fingers.

But part of it was to put it crudely because Anne "was so hot" [at least to him or charming] and she played her cards right. If she didn't, she could've ended up just another notch on his bedpost, just like her sister.

I doubt if she was some unattractive, charmless woman she wouldn't have gotten into the position she did. Look at Anne of Cleves.

Helen of Troy didn't even exist

Helen of Troy didn't even exist
Can you prove that?

Intelligence and purity.

It seems incredibly unlikely, all we have is the Iliad written hundreds of years after the supposed event and is a fantasy story that claims Zeus is her father.
