Take a look at "The Untold History of the United States" by Oliver Stone at al. It will give some insight into the U.S. reasons for involvements of various sorts in the past 100 years.

On a more basic level, as long as there is a differences between self and others or us and them or our team and their team (etc.) there will be fruit for conflict which can and often does lead to attempts at an aggressive solution.

Good luck in your quest.
