There have been innumerable wars, some well-documented and some which can no longer be accurately described. For some of the most prominent or the most current wars, see the related link below.
Wars, as conflicts between tribes, nations, factions, or religions, have existed since before civilization, and are an extension of the human survival instinct. Where there are limited resources, rival groups will come into conflict, just as wild animals fight to defend their food, territory, and social groups.
What distinguishes human warfare is that it can be instigated as a pre-emptory (proactive) action, or for personal grandeur, or by religious or nationalistic fervor. Although wars can still include gaining land, resources, wealth, or a better quality of life, modern wars are predominantly about killing potential enemies and the destruction of their resources.
