Wars are fought over territory and resources. Yes, tribalism/religion, whichever you want to call it, can also be a factor, but it doesn't override the essential reason stated.

Some use religion to galvanize their people. Others use ethnicity.
Very rarely discussed, always interesting to see how people react when you bring up the point that native american tribes were fighting and killing each other for thousands of years before the Europeans, and that the Europeans were doing the same for centuries before that, someone also killed off all the Neanderthals at some point in history and took all of their land/resources.
People will always need resources to survive and will wander around in quest of said resources.
Happening right now in Illinois as people leave for better situations in other states where resources (good jobs, lower taxes, less crime) are either more plentiful or circumstances allow you to keep/protect the resources you have earned for yourself and your family.
