Answer 1

Orcs and Humans : The demon-corrupted Orcs destroyed many Human settlements and killed many Humans. When the Burning Legion was defeated, the surviving Orcs were put into concentration camps and were treated as slaves until their liberation/escape to Kalimdor.



Trolls and Humans: Trolls and Humans have been fighting territorial wars since the beginning of their shared histories.



Night Elves and Orcs: When the Orcs came to Kalimandor, a group of them started logging a portion of Ashenvale and fought and killed Cenarius, a defender of the forests there.



Blood Elves and Humans: the Blood Elves were abandoned by the Human-led Alliance to the Scourge and the surviving Blood Elves shunned by the Alliance.



Forsaken and Humans: the Humans cannot or will not differentiate between the Forsaken and the Scourge. When many of the Forsaken tried to contact their families, they were shunned and scorned by both their society and their church. Afterwards, they started calling themselves the Forsaken, because they were forsaken by both family and the Light.



Tauren and Humans and Night Elves: many Humans and Night Elves look down on the Tauren as brutish and bestial, even though the Tauren are actually peaceful and contemplative.



Tauren and Dwarves: some Dwarves have been mining/digging in Tauren land, disregarding Tauren sensitivities. The Dwarves also destroyed and/or drove out the Tauren settlers who were living in one of their digsites.



Draenei and Orcs: the demon-corrupted Orcs killed many Draenei under the influence of the Burning Legion in Draenor, the Orcs' homeworld.



Blood Elves and Draenei: there might be some bad blood as Kael'thas Sunstrider, prince of the Blood Elves, sent some Blood Elf spies to destroy the Draenei who crashed there.



And there are many atrocities done by both sides during the previous wars.

Answer 2

Lore-wise speaking here it is...



The Horde [Which at the time was only the Orcs on Draenor, their home planet.] They were corrupted by Kil'jaeden. After pretty much obliterating all other life on their planet so only they Truly ruled, the Orc's corruption and blood lust eventually caused several groups to split, and they waged war on each other. One thing led too another and they all allied and the another thing [I'm skipping the unnecessary stuff] and they were able to open a rift onto Azeroth. They invaded Azeroth, and at the time they were south of the Humans. [Blasted Lands / The Dark Portal]. They attacked Stormwind, despite being told NOT TO at the time. The Humans obviously countered with Lordaeron. By this time, when the Second War came, Doomhammer basically was in control. At the time, once about to attack Lordaeron, 1/3 of the Horde broke for a powerful relic of the Kil'jaeden. [For more power]. Losing so much of their army at such a critical point, they failed at Lordaeron, and attacked and murdered the betrayers. The Horde failed in their war. Many years passed, and the Legion was coming back for the Orcs. [Remember, they were corrupted by the Kil'jaeden, but not all of the Orc clans were corrupted, and those that were not corrupted or broke from the Legion escaped to Kalimdor under Thrall's command... That is a basic run down, the Orcs were Corrupted and later on with the Legion the Humans also betrayed an alliance too fight the Legion... That is a run down simply, for more go too... www.wowwiki.com

Answer 4

haha well the answer is pretty much said so i wont bother retyping it all, but i want to edit a bit that some guy bout Night Elves hating orcs cause they killed Cenarius? thats true, but they also hate the orcs, is because the orcs cut down ALOT of trees in the Night Elf lands, which brought Cenaruis out of hiding to attack the orcs, who was then killed by Doomhammer, Cheiftan Thrall's right hand man



but other than that, fatman8888 got evrytinh else correct ^_^
