Dynastic struggle refers to conflicts between rival families or factions vying for power, often seen in monarchies. These struggles can arise from disputes over succession, inheritance, or territorial control, leading to wars, political intrigue, and shifting alliances. Historical examples include the Wars of the Roses in England, where the House of Lancaster and the House of York fought for the throne. Such conflicts can significantly impact a nation's stability and governance. They often result in changes to ruling dynasties, shifts in political power, and sometimes the establishment of new ruling families. The outcomes can shape the course of a country's history for generations.
