Religions, fanatics... it all comes down to belief. Most people truly believe some things to be right, and others to be wrong. These people have a choice; they can either decide not to act on their beliefs and be turned into a slave subject to the will of others, or they can exert their opinion. This will almost certainly lead to violence, as neither is likely to change their beliefs and just ignoring them is out of the question.
Of course some of the most obvious examples of the type of beliefs that cause conflict would be moral, which are usually based in religion.
This is why I am really annoyed by people who automatically assume war is bad and should never take palace. This indicates to me that they believe in nothing strongly enough for violence, which means that they are a slave.
