Wars have occurred throughout recorded history, and even before, beginning as the competition between tribes for limited resources. Later, empires were built by defeating other cultures and subjugating or enslaving their people. Besides adding to the wealth of imperial countries, war also provided power and prestige to the kings and generals; their personal egos drove both successful and futile campaigns.
Modern war follows the same general principles. They are fought to gain power or wealth, to retain power or wealth, or to provide prosperity and security for the people of a warring country. Wars can be offensive or defensive, and the object of a war can be to prevent one from occurring at a later, less opportune time. Some wars continue to be fought because of differences between cultures, religions, or ideologies.
Fortunately, there is usually an alternative to war, that being compromise and diplomacy. However, this requires that both sides actually want peace and see it as a better choice than war.
