Tribal warfare refers to conflicts between different tribes or groups, often over resources, territory, or social dominance. These conflicts can involve various forms of violence, including raids, ambushes, and full-scale battles. The motivations behind tribal warfare can include revenge, competition for land, or the desire to assert power and influence within a region. Historically, tribal warfare has been observed in many cultures around the world, including among the Native American tribes and the Maasai of East Africa. Such conflicts can have significant impacts on social structures, leading to shifts in alliances and changes in leadership within the tribes involved.
