What is the cause of most wars... ? Religion, Race , Politics and Poverty?

Answer 1

Religion and poverty.

Answer 2

The 3 Ps or war are Politics, Poverty and Property.

Answer 3

Religion is politics. Noone fights a war over poverty. the poor dont have anything anyone would want. Wars are rarely over the stated reason. Throughout human history its been about all of the ones you stated but also fighting over land, but in the last hundred years 90% of wars have been political.

Answer 4

I would say that the reason for nearly every war in history is the control of wealth/land. Most wars are dressed with some other excuse to motivate the Minions that are called upon to do the actual fighting. But when it really comes down to it I think the powers that be want something material and can get it in no other way.

Answer 5

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed."

President Dwight D. Eisenhower
April 16, 1953



If through our wisdom we could make secure elementary human needs, there would be no need for weapons and wars.” -- Mahatma Gandhi, quoted in J.C.Kapur, “Towards a New Human Order,” Man & Development, (New Delhi), 12/98

“It seems to be cause enough to commence a ‘just and necessary’ war that a neighboring land is more prosperous or freer than our own.” -- Desiderius Erasmus, The Complaint of Peace

War arises because of the changing relations of numerous variables--technological, psychic, social, and intellectual. There is no single cause of war. Peace is an equilibrium among many forces. Change in any particular force, trend, movement, or policy may at one time make for war, but under other conditions a similar change may make for peace. A state may at one time promote peace by armament, at another time by disarmament, at one time by insistence on its rights, at another time by a spirit conciliation. To estimate the probability of war at any time involves, therefore, an appraisal of the effect of current changes upon the complex of intergroup relationships throughout the world.
---- Wright, 1965: 1284

Answer 6

All of those are the cause of wars, take 9.11? there was religion race politics but not nessesary poverty . I would say the 2 Rs are most likely the reason for wars.

Answer 7

Power. Plain and simple. Religion, Race Politics ect is just a by product of the main reason which is Power.

Without power, Religion, Race, Policitcs, money ect are useless. A threat to ones power means a fight to the end.
