Land tends to be one of the major factors in war for many reasons. 1. Land is indestructable. You can bomb it and shell it and blow it up and it is still there. 2. Land is the source of food and Natural Resources. Oil continues to be a major political factor in the world economy. 3. Access to key waterways and trade routes. The ability to control commerce allows one to tax and wield power. 4. More is better! The more land a person or country controls, the more powerful they appear to be. And since they are backed by the resources, this tends to be true.
