When leaders need to charge people to fight till death, they need to motivate/hypnotize them with the idea worth to die for. The only overarching ideas available for thousands of years were “for our common independents/survival”, or “for the God”, or “for your God on Earth” (meaning your pharaoh, king, tzar, General Secretary, etc.). That includes all religions, including dogmatic ideologies like “communism”. Why would leaders wanted a war – that is a completely different discussion, but major reasons are having more land, more power, feeding a huge ego.
