Scenarios about 'sectarianism'
Sectarianism refers to discrimination, prejudice, or hatred arising from attaching importance to perceived differences between subdivisions within a group, particularly religious or political groups. Throughout history, sectarian conflicts have manifested in various societies, from Protestant-Catholic tensions in Northern Ireland to Sunni-Shia divisions in the Middle East. In alternate history scenarios, sectarian dynamics often serve as critical pivot points where different management of religious or ideological divisions could lead to dramatically altered societal outcomes.
