Wars... may be slightly exaggerated. There are many causes of wars, and I am very conservative about identifying any big factors. Even when people say "it's about the religion" or "it's about democracy", it's really not, most of the time. To me it seems like it's mainly people fng up, internal politics, miscalculations and the sort. Invasions for the sake of conquering resources is increasingly rare. And illegal under international war (as much as that's worth). That's why the invasion of Crimea was such a big thing, these kind of things don't happen anymore. Also Ukraine miscalculated the risk of Russia taking Crimea (or was too paralyzed to prevent it) and Putin probably miscalculated the backlash. On a smaller scale it will be hard to tell why certain militias try to rule/conquer certain regions. Lack of resources may contribute, or not.
