What did the world war veterans end soldiers actually fight for when they fought in world war 1 and 2?

Answer 1

In WW1 they fought because prime ministers, kings, czar, Kaiser wanted to either create a new global hegemony or to preserve the old one, and were too willing to forfeit boring diplomacy and go straight to glorious warfare costing millions of lives. 

For WW2 they fought to stop pure evil: Hitler and Nazism.

They were told to fight and so they must follow orders. Moreover, with the enemy in front of them, how can they not fight.
