What caused the First War? In http://www.wowwiki.com/First_War it says
Quote:
The First War between orcs and humans was fought following the arrival on Azeroth of the orcish clans of Draenor.
but what provocked the orcs to attack the humans?

The burning legion. They were running out of food on Draenor because of the demons corruption and then they drank the blood of mannoroth, making them bloodcrazed. So they attacked.

yep, it was that Demon Induced Bloodlust.

But an underlying reason is that Gul'dan wanted the Tomb of Sargeras, and he manipulated the orcs to attack so while he tried to pry into Medivh's mind to find out it's location.
That was one of the main reasons Gul'dan helped open the Dark Portal.
