TYPES OF WARS

4. CAUSES OF WAR
 Economic Gain
Whatever the other reasons for a war may be, there
is very often an economic motive underlying most
conflicts, even if the stated aim of the war is
presented to the public as something more noble

5.  Territorial Gain
A country might decide that it needs more land,
either for living space, agricultural use, or other
purposes

6.  Religion
Religious conflicts often have very deep roots. They can lie
dormant for decades, only to re-emerge in a flash at a later
date. (for example, Protestant and Catholic, or Sunni and
Shiite) battling against one another can also instigate war

7.  Nationalism
Nationalism in this context essentially means
attempting to prove that your country is superior to
another by violent subjugation. This often takes the
form of an invasion

8.  Revenge
Seeking to punish, redress a grievance, or simply
strike back for a perceived slight can often be a
factor in the waging of war. Revenge also relates to
nationalism, as the people of a country

9.  Civil War
These generally take place when there is sharp
internal disagreement within a country. The
disagreement can be about who rules, how the
country should be run or the people's rights

10.  Revolutionary War
These occur when a large section of the population
of a country revolts against the individual or group
that rules the country because they are dissatisfied
with their leadership

11.  Defensive War
In the modern world, where military aggression is more
widely questioned, countries will often argue that they are
fighting in a purely defensive capacity against an aggressor,
or potential aggressor, and that their war is therefore a
“just” war
