Now onto the fun stuff.

Ancient Warfare- Athens, Sparta, Carthage, Rome, Mongols, Chinese, etc...money, wealth, power, land and prestige.

Medievil Warfare- Mainly based on European and Oriental ideals of fuedalism which stemmed from the King wanting the same as above.

The New World- Destruction of the Inca and Aztec Empires along with others and killing of untolds people...why...Gold, riches...the same as above.

The British Empire- Boer Wars trying to expand their empire in fact concentration camps were used in the second Boer war but were first used by the Spanish.

Germany- World War I and World War II both land and the expansion of the empires and the political leaders they reprsented.

So you see there really arent too many examples of a nation fighting to help and protect others the way our nation does it. Believe what you will about oil and such but as the saying goes "we dont start em, we finish em."
