As several have said before, it helps making a story. You don't need violence as such, but it's easier. A story without any kind of conflict would be like "The Hobbit" if Gandalf didn't show up.
Also, many fantasy stories (not to say most) are set in an alternative medieval age, a time where most european countries barely went through a few years at a time whithout some form of war; I guess it stuck. And most of us would probably rather read about Conan the Barbarian than Baldrick the Bloody Peasant
