The Power of Merger in History
Different human groups have the ability to merge even when they hate each other, which is a unique characteristic that separates us from animal species. Throughout history, national and religious groups that despised each other have ended up merging. Examples include Germany, where Prussians, Bavarians, and Saxons, who fought and hated each other, eventually united to form a single country.
