When you split a nation up into separate nations based on their ethnic demographics. Usually, it seems to create two, or three nations that will surely end up going to war down the road. Even Yugoslavia was better off under Tito, than during the 1990's.
I think it's just a human nature thing. If you have two different ethnic groups trying to form one country, then they may just put up with one another, for the common good, but once the two nations are divided, then they develop an attitude where they want to conquer one another.
