You can get people to do terrible things if you tell them they’re the victims of another group.

Exactly. In fact, Hitler won because he convinced the German people that they were victims. Well, to be fair, the Germans were victims - they were collectively screwed over by the Treaty of Versailles. Hitler capitalised on it. And that’s how Poland, Czechoslovakia, Austria, the Netherlands and many other countries got invaded. And not just the parts of those countries that were formerly a part of Germany.
