That being the case, how would one define (from an unbiased historical perspective, IF such a thing is possible) what the MAIN motivation of a war or intervention was?

I really don't think we can. As I stated earlier, you can find that there is some kind of economic factor in every type of life on this planet. From humans all the way to one cell protozoa. I would say that it might be the survival instinct. And if you cannot adapt or overcome those who try to take over, you go extinct-like the Dodo bird or the dinosaur.
