People fight in a form of war because of the unique human factor called "emotion". Unique in a sense that only humans have these traits unlike other animals. But, emotions are actually an evolution from human language. Wherein, by the time we learn how to communicate to others through speaking, we develop emotions. So, the reason humans have war, is because they can communicate, and inevitably, flaws in communication exist. In conclusion, "anything that can communicate to others through speaking, or sign languages, are capable of developing emotions". So we may say, babies, do not have emotions, not until they learn how to speak. Babies may laugh or cry, but it's not emotion, it's just that, they just saw something that's good to their eyes, or they felt something tickling. And they cry because they feel pain.
