Are the largest wars typically ideological or economic?

by slawdogporsche

"Every war is the result of differences of opinion. Maybe the biggest questions can only be answered by the greatest conflicts".

I'm realizing now that the question or opinion might be, "who deserves to have have wealth and power". In that sense, are all wars ideological?

To expand slightly, is it arguable that economically driven wars are largely sensationalized under the guise of ideological differences to promote Sovereign support? Is there any historical evidence proving that?
