We may be due for a third world war. There are many examples of countries fighting over silly things. The reasons could be as mundane as a border defined based on a river that is prone to changing its flow direction according to changing conditions.
For example, along the north-eastern border of India, China has been trying to invade the state of Arunachal Pradesh. The Chinese may be trying to do so in search of new sources of minerals and other raw materials to support their economy. However, Indian geologists also know the significance of the area as they have already discovered precious deposits of uranium, lithium, helium, and rare earth elements.
Recently, the Russian Federation has declared War on Ukraine. There are many geopolitical reasons for this move by Russia, but one of the most significant might be to exploit the deposits of coal, iron ore, natural gas, manganese, salt, oil, graphite, sulfur, kaolin, titanium, nickel, magnesium, timber, and mercury.
