Technically, it wasn't a war.
A battle occured when the Makkans wanted to either defend their caravan or wipe out the Muslims.
The battle of badr was a defense for Abu Sufyan's caravan, (Abu Sufyan was the leader of the Quraish, the dominant tribe in Makkah). The Caravan had the possesions of the Muslims who left Makkah. The verse in the Quran then was revealed, which allowed the Muslims to fight for what was theirs.
Uhud was a battle in which Makkans wanted to finish the Muslims. Same with the battle of the trench.
After the prophet conquered Makkah, he went to the Kabah and destroyed all the idols. There was no bloodshed in this conquest. The Prophet invited the Makkans to come to Islam, and one by one or group by group did. Those who were extremely radical and still against the prophet were killed because they posed a threat to the prophet.
As a chieftan of a tribe would convert to Islam, their tribe would follow.
But there was one battle left to fight after the conquest.
A Nearby city, Taif, was still a center of Idolatry. They assembled an army and marched toward Makkah. Those quraish who had not converted to Islam yet joined with the Prophet's army, as a cause to defend their city.
at the battle of Hunain, the idolaters were defeated, and Taif was then sieged until they surrendered.

Who captured Mecca and Medina?
I assume you are looking for the answer "Mohammed and the Early Muslims", but Mohammed never declared war on Yethrib (the city which would become Medina). He settled there at the request of the Yethribis to resolve a dispute between two tribes. Mohammed and the Early Muslims did conquer Mecca, though, after difficult battles with Abu Sufyan and other Qoreishi Tribesmen. In more modern history, both the Ottoman Empire and Saudi Arabia conquered the territory of Hejaz in which Mecca and Medina are located, transferring those cities to those countries in the 1500s and 1920s respectively.

Why did the prophet choose Medina for his migration other than anywhere else?
Mecca had made it clear that Muslims were personae non grata and any city that took them in would be cut off from its trade network. Yethrib (now called Medinat an-Nabi) was the only city in Arabia that was both in close proximity to Mecca and that would permit Mohammed and the Muslims to take up refuge there. The civil war in their settlements between the tribes Aws and Khazraj needed a resolution and was a more direct threat to Yethribi stability than the loss of trade with Mecca. Mohammed promised to adjudicate the dispute and they allowed him to stay.

How did Islamic civilizations begin?
When more and more people started following Mohammed, they were kicked out of Mecca because the leaders were fearing that he would become too powerful. They went to medina on a trip called the hijra in 622. After a few years later the Meccans started a war with the Muslims that took 3 years. Eventualy the Muslim won Mecca in 630 and could think about expanding. In just 50 years after Mohammed died in 632 the Islamic empire expanded to the entire middle east, northern Africa and Persia.
Why was Muhammad's faith questioned?
Answer 1Well because all the different religions going around.Answer 2There were several reasons that people opposed Mohammed and his faith.Preserving Religious Pluralism: The religious plurality permitted in Mecca was critical for maintaining Mecca's important position along the Arabian trade routes. It was on account of the fact that Mecca was holy site for all Arabian faiths that spared it from internal conflict and allowed the flourishing of commerce in the city. Mohammed made clear that he intended to purge the idols from the Kaaba which would cause mass uproar and ended Mecca's position as a holy site for all Arabians. Of course, this does not take into account is that nearly all Arabians would convert to Islam after the fall of Mecca.Politics: The Chief Leaders of the Qoreish Tribe were the most powerful men in all of Arabia. Should Mecca fall to the Muslims, they would certainly lose substantial power. Since Muslims believed that these leaders were corrupt, they likely stood to face criminal acts if they were subject to Mohammed's authority.Commerce: During Mohammed's Medinan Period, Mohammed organized and executed numerous raids on caravans heading to and leaving from Mecca, causing disruption to Arabian trade routes. Violently attacking peaceful convoys does not speak well of your faith/group.Polytheism: Mohammed demanded that all polytheists abandon their gods for the singular Allah. Polytheists were incensed that they should have to conform to Mohammed's standards.Incongruities with Other Monotheisms: Many Jews and Christians saw the revelations of the Qur'an to be bits and pieces from their traditional scriptures and religious commentaries. They felt like Mohammed was repackaging their traditions and doing so incorrectly as a result, they saw no reason to convert to Islam.Massacres of Opponents: Mohammed massacred tribes (most often Jewish tribes, but polytheist tribes as well) that did not align themselves with him in war. Regardless of whether this was permissible, which most historians say was a valid 7th century tactic, it did not engender warm feelings between the massacred and Mohammed.
When did Mecca's merchants reject Muhammad's teachings?
