conflicts between nations began over territorial disputes- whether that be for land or for water or other resources. Today, some conflicts exist for territorial reasons, most of this is for oil rather than water or land though. Conflicts within nations arise from power quests and influence over the nation. Conflicts for power of a state is something that will withstand time.

One possible cause is ideological differences between two or more groups causing them to fight for that ideology (religion, economic structure, human rights). Another is the cause of territory and resources, where both parties want the same thing.

I think that one of the most important causes of conflict is a lack of understanding between two groups; propaganda, stereotyping, or restriction of information can paint a group in a negative light.

Conflicts can be formed due to disputes over limited resources or land. This included territorial conflicts or water conflicts, but can also extend to multiple other sources of conflicts. Most conflicts begin with powers working in their own self interest

Difference in Perspective vs. Difference in Interest

# data[].attributes.body
In my opinion, conflict tends to boil down to differences between groups or individuals which divide. I see them as difference in perspective, versus difference in interest. A lot of conflicts in their most basic sense are a struggle for resources to survive such as territory and resources, but once heritage and history is established, concepts like religion, tradition, and colonization can create specific groups whose perspective is that of a desire to eliminate another group or defend against it. I don't know if I like the term "greed" because often the struggle is necessitated by the people involved's lives and needs, and the term "grievance" isn't always the case because they aren't always long-standing grudges.

I would even categorize a necessity as identification with a group. Including Maslow's hierarchy of needs as a motivator for interest is important as well, knowing how the human brain works.
