* Native American tribes at the time of European colonization were just as fractious as the nations of any other continent. Colonial powers were able to use inter-tribal conflicts to play native tribes against each other, striking alliances with some tribes against others. For example, the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire was primarily fought by native tribes opposed to the Aztecs.

* Up until the mid-late 19th century, Mexico had a steep political divide between the Liberal and Conservative factions, which served as background for a series of wars, coups and revolts. This hampered them during the Mexican-American War, where they failed to put their enmity on hold and work together against the shared threat.

** Similar logic explains the Plantation-era phenomenon of "African" warlords selling African slaves they conquered to the British. Back then, racial identity was more tied to country/state/tribe than a shared skin color. People simply did not think on a national scale.

** This is a large part of the reason why the villains failed in Volume 5; tensions between the White Fang and [[BigBad Salem's]] faction resulted in the two sides barely working together and refusing to support each other when both of the factions ran into problems on their end of the operation. (Had, say, the White Fang rushed into Haven Academy to aid Salem's people in fighting most of the main heroes, it's likely that even if they didn't wind up achieving all their objectives, they would have killed or driven off most of the main cast). Furthermore, [[TheDragon Cinder]] and [[WildCard Raven]] both believed all along that [[RashEquilibrium the other would inevitably betray them]], and the fight that resulted when Cinder made her move delayed and weakened them so much that it prevented Salem's people from acquiring the Relic of Knowledge, which was the entire point of their mission.
