Typical colonizer move, though Britain is certainly the biggest one, they all did this. The Rwandan genocide, for one of many examples, is a direct result of Germany and later Belgium reinforcing an artificial split between the long-since homogenized Hutu and Tutsi "ethnicities".

Before they did that, the difference between "hutu" and "tutsi" mostly came down to "do you own cattle?"
