As stated previously, territorial gain and dominance over an area always impacts political and economic relations between states because of the leverage that one side possess. That, eventually, increased tension between European countries which ended up with one of the most inhumane wars that history saw. One of the major causes of World War One was the colonization of British and French Empires over the globe. Those confrontations mostly emerge from the domination of a or a few countries over the region for a long time which at the end leads to desire to gain even more power and eventually bloodshed. And the fuel is prolonged confrontations going back years that are accumulated and waited for someone to ignite such as the example of assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914 which is supposedly started World War One. Some descriptivist historians may come up with the idea that a specific event might be the cause of massacres while with the deep insight it can be understood that those events are just a spark enough to burn the whole region. In my opinion, most widespread causes for an armed conflict to start are the terrorism and economic gain through occupation of territories. Reason for wars may vary from economic, territorial gain, religion to revolution, nationalism, civil war and so on.
