Ethnic Heritage

Did you know that Yugoslavia is not a country anymore? They reason being is because the Serbs, Croats, Bosnians, and Albanians were having trouble with their ethnic groups. They fought over land and resources. They also had a big war over those things and now they have separate countries. Rwanda and Burundi in Africa are two groups that dominate. There are also two other groups the Hutus and the Tutsis. The Hutus are dominant and persecute the Tutsis and the Tutsis are dominant and persecute the Hutus. The United States and Switzerland are two countries that have merged multiple ethnic groups. Korea and Japan are two groups that have primarily one ethnic group. Religion can be a unifying and disunifying force. Most wars have been fought over religion. The main religions are Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity and Islam.

Christianity was founded after the death of Jesus which was around 30-46 AD. Saul spread the word about Jesus' teachings. Jesus was not the center of everything when he was alive, so when Saul spread the word of God, Jesus became known. The religion of Islam is a monotheistic religion just like the rest of its fellow Abrahamic religions. The Muslims, Christians and the Jews all have something to do with Abraham.
