Scenarios about 'ethnic conflict'
Ethnic conflict refers to hostilities between distinct ethnic groups based on cultural, linguistic, religious, or national identity differences. These tensions often arise from historical grievances, competition for resources, political marginalization, or territorial disputes, and can range from discrimination to genocide. Understanding ethnic conflicts is crucial for alternate history scenarios as they frequently serve as catalysts for border changes, population movements, state formation, and geopolitical realignments that create divergence points from our timeline.
