Quote from Derwood "The next big question is why would machines covet power? Again, since we haven't actually experienced AI in real life, the brothers have some artistic license to decide how this works, but why would a machine want to take over the world? To what end? Great, the machines now have Earth and an endless supply of energy in these human batteries. So what? What is their goal? Unlike Terminator, where the explanation is that the AI got pissed off when the humans tried to shut it down, no reason is given as to why the machines went to war with the humans. All Morpheus tells us is that "all we know is that the machines attacked first, but it was us who scorched the sky." Seems like the humans are a little fuzzy on the facts."

In the Animatrix, which is supposed to explain some of the story in a way with it's 9 short films there are 2 called "The Second Revolution Part 1 and Part 2, they explain exactly what happened during the War between the humans and machines was because the human economy was falling because the machine city "01" was thriving because the machines worked non stop and such, and the humans were worried that they were going to "lose" to their creations. During some point during the war humans covered the earth in dark clouds to cut off the machines from their energy source, which in turn would make them "die". But the machines long having studied their former masters found that they put out however much energy and they harnassed their power.

Kind of a weird answer if you haven't seen the Animatrix because i'm leaving a lot out because it is a good DVD.
