True in many cases, but there were wars before there was capitalism.
And in those times the causes were things like feudalism.
Feudalism = colonialism = Capitalism
No, feudalism has different economic relations than capitalism. It is about farm product graft from land-bound peasants on penalty of death or injury. Capitalism is about wage working. Capitalism emerged in the context of feudalism, so there were periods where both existed side by side, but capitalism is clearly different.
