If God has a divine plan for all of us then he must have influenced all human action to some extent. Wars, all wars included.

None. War is kind of like this board. Different people with different views claiming their way is right and no other option is logical. God or whomever doesn't make things hard, people do. Weird concept, I know.
Lots of things are done in the name of religion. It's an excuse to get rid of things that a particular group of people think is wrong.
It's easier to say live & let live but then people would have to fight about something else and that would probably require thought and let's face it, most people don't feel like thinking.

I would guess that in every conflict sine the beginning of conflicts, both sides have invoked their version of god and asked for god's assistance in vanquishing their enemies. Both sides. So, if that guess is accurate then god has influenced EVERY war/conflict since the beginning of conflicts. Now if the question is which of the historically invoked gods is the ONE TRUE GOD, that's another question that I won't try to answer.

Peace be with you,
GOD is not limited and noting happens without his Will. He created satan and satan only tempts but does not have power.
It is the people, us whom have free choice and GOD decides if it will happen or not as a part of our test in order to be judged on Judgment Day. Those good ones suffering so bad now have pateince and will be rewarded immensly.

Check out the Holy Bible, book of Joshua. Also book of Judges.
God influenced those "wars" quite a bit.
The Crusades were more about the Catholic church (church of Rome), more about men who wanted to make something of themselves, than about God.
I don't believe God is into violence and warfare...but it is not outside of His ability or realm of sovereignty.

If you mean what wars were in the name of God, then I suppose the crusades, but no others come to mind.

God has influenced any war, it's the nutcase religious fanatics that do

Other than the ones spoken of in the bible, I have no idea. I don't like to guess when it comes to God. Unless He has said it in His word, it would be conjecture on my part.

All of them. It's the tool he chooses to chastise the nations when they aren't living as they should. When they've reached the point that they need correcting and are a threat to a more righteous country!
