Why do people go to war to expand their national boundaries?

Economics, national pride, to prove that they are bigger and meaner than the other country. 'to see if they can'.
1. People on the other side of the boundary are close ethnically with the aggressive nation and may or may not want to reunite with their "cousins."
2. The aggressive nation may want the importance and power of more land.
3. The aggressive nation may want the resources of the other nation.
4. The aggressive nation may see itself as the center of a potential empire.

What does number 4 mean? Thank you
An empire is a huge expanse of land and people ruled by one government. Think of the ancient Persian, Roman, Holy Roman, British, and Soviet Empires. Germany under Hitler in the 1930s tried to create an empire.
