12 Reflect Philosopher Benedict de Baruch Spinoza once said that people go to war for five basic reasons – fear, greed, tribal hatreds, jealousy, and love of power. On the basis of your own knowledge of history and current events, do you agree? Would you add any other reasons to the list? Support your response with facts.
