We are becoming a global society and nothing can stop that. It stands to reason that it will get much worse before it gets better. Pretty much every nation was forged via extremes of suffering and bloodshed. Even the US and their Civil War, the endless battles and invasions to establish a king of England, Qin's wars of unification in China to establish a nation in common. Tens-of-millions of lives lost, millions enslaved and dispossessed.

If you think about it immigration, be it political, religious or economic might in some way reduce the likelihood of an all-out conflagration. Even slavery of the African peoples dispersed them. The Irish were dispersed by English genocide. The Italians and Irish became the proxy slaves of North America while the South had the black races.
