Existing social divisions like ethnic tension and religious differences can be worsened by economic issues and used by groups looking for someone to blame.

Genocide is often the result of a combination of political, economic, and social factors that create an environment of extreme violence and hatred towards a particular group of people. Political groups may exploit economic imbalances within society to create divisions between groups that were not previously present, leading to the scapegoating and blaming of certain populations. Additionally, existing social divisions such as ethnic tensions and religious differences can be exacerbated by economic issues and used by political groups as a means to control or target certain groups for discrimination and violence. These social divisions may also be intensified by historical rivalries, further fueling animosity and leading to one group attempting to assert dominance over another. Overall, the interplay of political manipulation, economic disparities, and social divisions contribute to the escalation of tensions and ultimately the perpetration of genocide.
