To divide a people in order to conquer them is an immoral strategy that has endured throughout recorded history. From Alexander the Great to Stalin the Cruel, variants of that strategy have been used to keep nations in thrall to the will of an emperor.
为了达到征服目的而分裂一个民族，这种非道德的战术策略却在历史上沿用至今。从亚历山大大帝时代到斯大林的冷血时代，统治者以各种形式实施此类策略，使人民臣服于他从而达到其个人意愿。
