Causes of War GapFill

Violence and war are a sad reality of the human experience and have historically broken out in generation after generation spanning human history. There are always a variety of complicated different reasons for the breakout of conflict, one of the common ones being  religionsadismdisappointmentnuclear warfare. Historically, this has been a factor in the justification of waging wars and this has continued to the modern day, as within the 21st century, certain groups have committed acts of  blessingcharitypeacemakingterrorism and claimed them in the name of religion. An example of such a group is the  BuddhistIslamicHinduChristian State, who have claimed responsibility for a number of terrorist attacks on the UK such as the Manchester Arena bombing of 2017.  PowerPhilosophyReligionWeather has also played a role in other modern-day conflicts, such as the conflict in the Middle East, where the religious identity of the  IslamicJewishBuddhistAtheist Palestinians is often cited as a source of conflict with the Jewish identity of the  BritishGermanIsraeliAfrican side of the conflict.

Others disagree, however, pointing out that it is often used as a justification to mask other motivations such as quarrels over  foodterritoryhuman traffickingthe slave trade and issues of power.
