There are many reasons used to justify invasions. Some include:
Moralistic Reasons:
- Religion (e.g. Crusades)
- Retribution/Revenge
- Glory
- Honour
- Power
- To "civilize" "savages" - mostly used by Europeans while they were dividing up the world.
Practical reasons:
- Wealth - Gold etc or just natural wealth; land, resources.
- Power
- Greed for expansion
- To deny an opponent the same area - common during colonization times.
- National Benefit - Peter the Great fought wars to win a port on the Baltic sea - St. Petersburg.
These are a few reasons for invasion.
First, to expand their power. Second, to place greater influence and traditions to more people. Third, to be the biggest, greatest, and more populous than other neighboring coutries. Fourth, more resources, land for crops, a bigger army, etc. Fifth, show that they are more powerful.
Countries send in armys to invade other countries for possession over resources and land.
Maybe the people invaded their land so they want to take revenge or maybe because that land has really good resources like fertile soil/land and fresh water etc.
