Every human conflict throughout history has been a class conflict.
My immediate thought is that that's not true, and that tribal disputes over territory aren't necessarily class-based. I guess perhaps you could frame it as: the class structure in the aggressor is what prompted the dispute, despite the defender being an egalitarian society?
Depending on your definition of "tribal disputes", these occurred in a time where property was not yet ceased in any way and it's what we would call primitive communism, so since a class based society did not exist we couldn't say there was class struggle, I guess. Still, after that point every struggle between humans has been a class struggle.
