Generally speaking, resources, especially Natural Resources are a source of wealth and in some cases a necessity for a nation to develop. Wealth attracts peoples seeking wealth. In a simple example, Spanish conquistadors sought the wealth found in gold attractive and the Native Inca Tribe had gold. The Incas sought to retain their wealth and freedom from foreigners. Spain was willing to go to battle to obtain the gold owned by the Incas.

Why people have war?

The origin or war is disagreement. A country disagrees with another's claim to land, and they fight over it. One country believes their God and religion is the only one, and every other person on earth who disagrees must die, so they go to war over religion. Some country disagrees with another's treatment of it's citizens, so they go to war over human rights. A country has abundant natural resources, and another disagrees with having nothing, so they invade and claim the resources as their own.
