* The Clone War in the ''Franchise/StarWars'' prequel trilogy has this at the core of its EvilPlan. The early stages of the conflict get Naboo's ambassador to the Senate, Palpatine, made into its new Chancellor. Then the escalation prompts the Senate to give Palpatine emergency powers to deal with the Separatists. Of course, should he fail to do so, it's no skin off his back as he's leader of the Separatists too.

** Deconstructed to an extent with Cersei in Season 7. Rather than help the Northerner/Targaryean alliance in the battle against the Night King and his undead army, she decides to let them fight and destroy each other and stay safe in the south. Jaime rightfully calls this decision stupid, neither outcome will bode well for her - should the Stark/Targaryen alliance win, they'll rightfully be pissed at how the Lannisters abandoned them; should the Night King and his forces win, they'll just march on over to King's Landing and zombify everyone.
