Wars have almost always been fought for various reasons, sometimes even combinations of reasons, some which follow:

1. Water rights

2. Land rights

3. Land conquests

4. Ocean, Lake, and River control

5. Border disputes

6. Political reasons

7. Religious reasons

8. Attitude problems

9. Self Defense

10. Money or debts

11. Gold/Silver/furs/lumber/raw minerals/oil/etc.

Unless a King, President, Emperor, Prince, Queen, Prime Minister, etc. simply just likes to fight, there's usually some of those reasons for it.

Racial wars are (or were) not normally openly stated during the 20th century, with the exception of Africa and it's inherent apartheid problems. For reasons unknown, the people of Jewish religion have incorrectly been sometimes classified as a race of people; they are a religious people, just like any other religion; but they were heavily prosecuted by the Nazi regime in Europe during WWII. The Nazi's may have been, at least partially responsible for aiding in the growth of the term "race" when discussing the Jewish people. As that party did practice "genocide" on that particular RELIGION.

The polite word for genocide was "cleansing"; that is to say, ridding the population of particular groups.

The 20th century was notably most famous for it, for two good reasons: 1. It used modern technology (gas chambers, furnaces, and modern communication systems to capture their victims) and was thusly extremely effective on a mass scale. 2. It was recent, recent enough for people to see live film covering the tragedies and recent enough to speak with some of the victims.
