All wars are the result of population pressure. Even though the surface causes might be religion, ethnicity, or abiding hatred, population pressure is still the cause of a war.

When a particular people perceives that it does not have sufficient room for it's population to grow, it manufactures a reason to go to war with a neighboring population. This produces population weeding in that the combatants will kill each other and the resulting remainder will have the room to occupy the disputed territory. The conquered territory will be subjugated according to the particular ideology that the conquerors espouse. But the conquerors will move into the defeated territory, thus relieving the population pressure of the first country or tribe.

Ideology is not the prime cause of war, populations are. Even the Crusades were the result of this pressure.
