Which greek- speaking people dominated the Aegean world from about 1400 BC to 1200 BC and probably started the Trojan war?

The period you refer to is usually called 'The dark ages' of Greece. At the time, there was no group that dominated the others; Greece was then - and would be for a long time to come - divided into a great many local communities. Before 1400 BC there had been the Minoan culture dominating the region, but they had nothing to do with the Trojan war.As to the Trojan War: the story itself suggests that there was at the time a dominant Greek group called the Achaeans who started the war, but that is mostly poetic licence. You have to remember that the Iliad was composed some 400 years after the Trojan War supposedly happened. The listeners to that poem wanted to hear about heroic and powerful forefathers and their mighty kings, not about small and primitive communities led by chieftains with a group of elders: the ones that in reality only existed around 1,200 BC.The Trojan war itself is also largely mythic. On the site where ancient Troy may have existed, a succession of 7 cities was dug up. One of them indeed showed signs of a big fire, but wheter that fire was the result of a 10-year battle and siege is unknown.
