Fighting, competition, ambition, defense of one's own family/estate, argument, misunderstanding, physicality, testosterone/manliness, love (two or more men loving the same woman), jealousy.

Those are just a few of the things I toss out there to suggest that the absence of war (large or small) is impossible over a protracted period of time.

Like it or not, fighting is just human nature.

In fact, it is the threat of violence that helps maintain the peace.

Fighting for what you state seems to have happened -- if you read the article archaeology has found cases of violent deaths

But no wars between cities or organized warfare at all.
