all wars are generally started with profit in mind.
hitler invaded poland and russia to get his hands on natural resources that would save the then overdebted german economy (western europe was taken as a buffer against having to fight a two front war)
in the same war, japan was out after natural resources too, especially oil and metals. pearl harbour was just a preemptive measure to cripple the US fleet so it wouldn't meddle in the conflict.
iran-iraq was a showdown over oil.
etc
i think it was tom clancy who wrote that all wars is just armed robberies. but on a giant scale.
