Debatable: while countries did enter NATO that is not the same as getting acquired by a dictator. The resources of such countries were not taken by the “occupying” forces.
As an exercise I’ll take this as a valid case. That still makes them only 2 examples throughout human history, does that count as a common way in which wars start?
I think there are many examples, from the top of my head, I’d say Macedonian Expansion under Philip II, Napoleonic Wars, Second Punic War, Great Turkish War , Second Boer War, Caucasian War, Franco-Prussian War, Gulf War
It counts under the first point in the list above.
However, it sounds to me like you’re referring to current events; how would that address my question?
My question is regarding historical examples to treat such mechanics as an established and common way in which wars appear.
I don’t remember too many wars starting that way, but I may be very wrong.
How many examples outside of WWII are there in which such a mechanism started a war?
Ukraine?

Does it count if just a new head of state is installed that hands over the resources of the country to the companies of the dictator?
