Like wars erupting over FTL rather than sharing it, because the country or a corporation who would be the first to have such technology stands to have the potential to colonize distant planets.

I don’t think wars would break out over the tech itself, since it’s a technology that is more beneficial when shared. But if it used some super rare resource for power/fuel, we would sure as shit fight over that.
Exactly. Some wars have fought over territory, and finite resources like oil or water, and it’s not far off that a discovered rare commodity in a distant planet may become a bone of contention.
