Overall, the factors that lead to genocide often involve a combination of existing social divisions, economic issues, and political manipulation. Existing tensions between different ethnic or religious groups, compounded by economic disparities, can be exploited by political groups seeking to gain power or control. These groups may use propaganda to escalate divisions and create a sense of blame towards certain groups, leading to discrimination and ultimately violence. Additionally, historic rivalries or resentments can also play a role in fueling genocidal actions, as one group may seek to dominate or eliminate another group based on past conflicts or grievances. Ultimately, a combination of social, economic, and political factors contribute to the escalation of violence and mass atrocities that characterize genocide.
