Wars are always about limited resources. Religion, politics, beliefs, philosophies, laws, traditions all boils down to getting a bigger share of the pie for your side. Ironically, space exploration might make wars obsolete for a while. There's so much real estate on other planets that you can simply bugger off if you don't like your neighbours.

Only if colonising other planets is easy, which there is no reason to believe it will be.

We just don't have the technology to massively change a planets ecosystem to be habitable and the amount of resources to build a life dome is just absurd.

We don't need full on domes; pressurized buildings would be enough. But if we can populate other planets we can populate the unpopulated parts of Earth.
