GermanSteve,
The raison d’ętre for a war changes over time. The current perspective on the First World War is different from that of the combatants. The most common reason given for the Vietnam War today is probably not the same as you would have heard 30+ years ago. The proximate cause for a war is seldom gained with historical perspective.
