There are many reasons used to justify invasions. Some include:

Moralistic Reasons:

  • Religion (e.g. Crusades)
  • Retribution/Revenge
  • Glory
  • Honour
  • Power
  • To "civilize" "savages" - mostly used by Europeans while they were dividing up the world.

Practical reasons:

  • Wealth - Gold etc or just natural wealth; land, resources.
  • Power
  • Greed for expansion
  • To deny an opponent the same area - common during colonization times.
  • National Benefit - Peter the Great fought wars to win a port on the Baltic sea - St. Petersburg.

These are a few reasons for invasion.
