* The ProudWarriorRaceGuy Clans from ''TabletopGame/{{Battletech}}'' consider 'we want your stuff and we think we're strong enough to take it' to be a perfectly valid reason to start a war: The Clans refer to a conflict of this nature as a "Trial of Possession". Like everything else in Clan society, however, this process is highly ritualized and low-scale: The attacker will basically show up at the defender's porch, openly declare "we want your [X], and we've brought [Y] amount of warriors along to take it from you" (this is called a ''batchall''), at which point the defender will answer "well we have [Z] amount of people to protect our [X], and if we win we want something of yours in return". The attacker and defender will then hash out a time and place for the battle (as well as how many of their warriors will actually fight and what the defender gets if they win) and the whole thing is fought as a TrialByCombat. Needless to say, when the Clans showed up in the Inner Sphere and started declaring Trials of Possession for entire planets and their populations, most of the Inner Sphere defenders didn't know what the heck they were talking about.

It's sometimes implied in narrative examples of this trope that [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corporations]] profit from this war, e.g arms manufacturers. Then again, the opposite can also be true, (relative) peace tends to make arms markets flat - [[UsefulNotes/ColdWar a long-standing threat of war]] (real or [[EnforcedColdWar artificial]]) can be ''damned'' profitable for arms manufacturers. There's [[Administrivia/NoRealLifeExamplesPlease a reason]] this trope doesn't have a RealLife section.
