War usually starts because of technical problems and some countries teaming up to fight one country to another, sometimes the problem Why war starts is because they need things that also the other countries need, Ex. Countries need food or water like people. and they might take over of the country that they are trying to evade... or even try to gain the country themselves, the country that evaded for example. America and Asia, they fight the Philippines and Philippines won... for some reason and when Philippines won Philippines evades more countries. some kind of like that

This is grossly oversimplified, but it's basically not much different than robbery. That other country has something we want, let's take it away from them. The "something" can be land, resources, people (to convert to a different religion, for work, etc). The "something" can also be power, if the war-starting country perceives "the other guys" to be powerful, and decides to take them out before they get too powerful. Take a big dose of greed, add in a few dashes of fear, and season with a disregard for human life, and you get the recipe for war.

Look at who started wars over the last 100 years, and how that worked out for them. The lesson from history is, if you start a war of aggression, you will probably lose.

Wars occur due to economic, social and political reasons. Wars will have expected and unexpected outcomes. The wars primarily start when the leaders begin to think that what they think or do is right. Some leaders will aspire for land or trade with other countries which are not ready to give. These leaders tend to achieve what they desire forcibly due to which a new government forms and the economy builds a new form of depression. These types of wars will symbolize the people to kill or be killed. The leaders think that they have to take away and use the resources, people and land of the other country. It is nothing but robbery. The leader can also think of conquering the power in the other country and do not want the other people to get the power. The man remaining at the end in the war will experience the joy of winning the war by defeating the other country which is losing everything in it to the winning country.

Greed for money, power, resources and land along with fear of others that they might conquer the nation will allow the person or country to begin the war. The leaders who have taste for war will have disregard for human life and they do not feel that human life is very valuable. War starts and continues when any treaty that is meant for peace do not actually find the solution to these difficulties.

The reasons for a war to be started may be several. The reasons include the territory to be occupied, the economic status of the country which starts the war, for the sake of raw materials, religious basis, political Megalomania, racism in the society, different ideologies of the two countries, the testing of the efficiency of weapons, rights on large water bodies, a bitter internationally popular insult to the leader, and many more. Not able to tolerate any circumstances created by the other country can also be a reason for the beginning of the war. War can also occur for the sake of entertainment or due to the mistake of the country officials or for being mad about the resources and richness of the other country.

Motivations for war may be different for those ordering the war than for those undertaking the war. For a state to prosecute a war it must have the support of its leadership, its military forces, and its people. For example, in the Third Punic War, Rome's leaders may have wished to make war with Carthage for the purpose of eliminating a resurgent rival, while the individual soldiers may have been motivated by a wish to make money. Since many people are involved, a war may acquire a life of its own from the confluence of many different motivations.
In Why Nations Go to War, by John G. Stoessinger, the author points out that both sides will claim that morality justifies their fight. He also states that the rationale for beginning a war depends on an overly optimistic assessment of the outcome of hostilities (casualties and costs), and on misperceptions of the enemy's intentions.
