The Battle of the Five Armies started as a face off between the armies of the Dwarves, led by Thorin Oakenshield and Dain of the Iron Hills, the Men of Long Lake, led by Bard, and the Wood Elves, led by their King. They all had some claim to the treasure in the Halls of the King under the Mountain, recently freed from the possession of the dragon Smaug, whom Bard had slain, with Bilbo's help.
As they were about to fight, due to Thorin's enormous love of the treasure, and complete unwillingness to consider any other claim, an enormous army of Goblins showed up. To some degree, their attack had been kicked off by the slaying of the Great Goblin by Gandalf, plus their desire for the treasure. Once the Goblins showed up, the Elves, Dwarves, and Men joined together to fight the common foe. After that battle had been engaged for some time, and was not going well for the forces of good, an army of eagles showed up and tipped the scales against the Goblins.
So I guess that in the end, the desire of the Dwarves to gain back their lost home in Lonely Mountain, and win back the treasure of their fathers was the primary cause of this battle.
