religion if you're talking about the past. I say because a prime example are the crusades by the christians trying to take jerusalem i think. Also, religion is usually the cause of arguments between races of people and may catalyse a war about something else like land.

Yea, religion.

its gotta be land..followed by oil..ww2 was a good example of this,

Japan needed to expand so it invaded the countries with the resourses and pearl harbour was started because japan needed oil so it had to attack the usa.

Germany because it wanted revenge on ww1 and to eradicate the jews..

The british empire capruring a quarter of the world.

I think its resources like oil... you know they will be depleted within the next centuries. Thus the prices raise and it will become invaluable.
Very few really care about religious stuff anymore these days.

Why isn't "Greed" on there, because fundementally that's what they are all about with one of the other options being the mask.....

I'm sure it has

I'd say greed, greed of rich "powerful" elite men and the ignorance of peasants and the masses in allowing these men to get away with such atrocities

Personally I think your causes are all to specific.

Greed and Envy would be my choices.

Falklands War
American Revolutionary War
Battle Of Waterloo
Battle of Hastings

In fact, I'm struggling to match that list with ones that have been caused by "Islam", Afghastan was very teniously I suppose.....

Why isn't "power" in there?
Reasons to go to war are more complex than any of those choices..

But no war is fought over religion - do not ever believe it!

No, I don't really think that religion is the real cause for most wars, but mostly an excuse and a great motivator. "Go out and die so that I can get rich/powerful/whatever" probably doesn't work, but "God commands you, and those who die will go straight to Heaven/Paradise/Valhalla" sadly do.

Maybe stupidity should be on the list. Wasn't WW1 pretty much started because none of the leaders had any clue what they were doing?

Edit: Added the supidity thing
