Famine is yes a pull factor in cases of needing to go to war but what are you asking exactly?
Jamestown
In 1607, 104 English men and boys arrived in North America to start a settlement. On May 13 they picked Jamestown, Virginia for their settlement, which was named after their King, James I. The settlement became the first permanent English settlement in North America.

For this question, Checks and Balances seems to be the best answer.

I hope this helps! :)
