Most political conflict in history was conflict between nations. ** look up left and right wing ** A nation is a group that wants to have its own state.

Never before in human history did people insist that their leaders be of the same culture and never did leaders try to make the people share their common culture. Its this need for congruence that needs to be explained. Kings and queens did not share culture with the people they ruled, it didn t matter.
