All war is about resources except for all the times it isn’t: religion, culture, honor/shame or ideology.

Two world wars come to mind

One of those was about resources. Alsace-Lorraine may want a few words about the other

It depends on which one you refer to because both had some relation to Alsace-Lorraine.

However, the first one broke out after a complicated system of alliances together with a non compromising attitude towards nationalism (assasination ultimatum). I file that under ideology and honor.

The second one broke out due to a really insane ideology, that although talked about resources, time and time again took resources from the war itself for its death apparatus
