chosen: Humans are innately violent creatures and have an unexplainable drive to assert control over one another. War allows powerful nations or groups to impose their will on weaker opponents, seize resources and markets, and increase their own perceived power. In many cases, war is a competition to shape the culture, values and views of those who live in particular regions.
  
  Some wars are rooted in religion, with one group seeking to impose its values and beliefs on another. While religion often is used as a recruiting tool, there are also instances in which a group or nation views another's religious practices as an affront to their own, resulting in hostilities.
  
  Financial concerns are also a key factor in conflicts. War often provides opportunities for countries and individuals to enrich themselves through looting, resource extraction or other exploitation. In addition, war brings jobs, financial aid and resources that are used to prop up nations or groups in opposition to the aggressor.
  
  In summary, war is complex and can be driven by multiple factors. In many cases, the causes of war remain difficult to determine, as the root motivations of humankind often remain a mystery.
