Hello,

You can use a dictionary

For may have the same meaning as because but it is rather old-fashioned or more literary.

Hello choiian,

we need subordinate clauses explaining why something happens or happened very often. The most frequently used
conjunction is 'because'. But for often used function words there are always variants. So you can use 'for' as a conjunction just to have a variant. There is no difference in meaning. 'because' is a Latin word and the conjunction principally has he meaning 'why?' + clause, the same is true for 'what for?' shortened to 'for' + clause.
