    Nations make humans aggressive because nationalism divides people through pride. If someone says something offensive about a country than a citizen who may also dislike things about their nation will still attack the other person(I can talk bad about my country but you can't). Nationalism is just another thing that divides people.

    Einstein-If my theory of relativity is proven correct, Germany will claim me as a German, and France will declare me a citizen of the world.If my theory is proved untrue the French will say I'm German and Germans will say I'm a Jew.

    Humans are aggressive. Even hunter-gatherers and nomadic tribes engaged in some combat.

    Agriculture makes us moreso. The idea is to annex farmlands for the use of your descendants and not someone else's. Or, banditry: steal from those who have.
