What is meant by this sentence regarding ethnic conflicts?

Asked by Christina070 (111points) April 3rd, 2012

The sentence is:

Nationalism may be one of the factors leading to a confrontation between two or more ethnicities when the goal of the conflict is to establish a political entity between both groups.

I am doing research about ethnic conflicts, and I am a little bit stuck on this sentence. Could anyone explain to me what it means?
