The War of the Roses happened due to a power struggle between two branches of the English royal family, the House of Lancaster and the House of York, for control of the English throne. It was primarily a conflict between two rival factions and their allies, rather than a war fought for a specific cause or ideology. Ultimately, it ended with the establishment of the Tudor dynasty under Henry VII.
