I don't think saying it as being 'the answer' is too appealing but I do think it is unavoidable sometimes, and has been many times in history. The history of mankind is filled with instances of one tribe or state attacking another tribe or state and trying to take their goods, land, and women. And often succeeding.
The gun was invented in China some centuries after they invented gunpowder and was used to finally expel the hated Mongols. When you look at the indignities the Mongols forced on the Chinese, you can imagine that war might be attractive at times.
