Non-disintegration of national solidarity political solution given by history

In the history of our country, the strength of the nation was strong when there was solidarity among national races. When the national races were not united, they had to try to end their conflict even though there was no invasion from outside. In consequence, the State lagged behind in development and it usually became weak in all sectors. So political solution given by history for our country is non-disintegration of national solidarity. If we face such grave situation, sovereignty will be lost one way or another.
