Most wars were tribal and related to land or resources. The first recorded war occurred in c. 2700 B.C. It was between Sumer (in modern Iraq) and Elam (a region that is now part of Iran), and was fought in the area around Basra (just like the Iran-Iraq war of the 1980s). Of course, tribes, cities, etc., had been fighting each other for thousands of years before that, but there are no records of these earlier conflicts as writing wasn't invented until a little before 3000 B.C

Probably not.
Tribal wars have been going on since the dawn of time. The first recorded war was most likely about conquering for land. For most of history MOST cultures didn't force the conqured to follow the same gods. They didn't care. They were made slaves and life went on. Christianity started the spread by the sword thing for the "most" part.
Christians were "fed to lions" because they would vandalize the pagan temples and preach from the streets the same way some do now. The nobles in Rome weren't too happy about that. So off with thier heads!
Thumbs down me all you want people. It's simple history.

The first war ever recorded was in 2700 B.C. between Sumer and Elam probably for land and water.
