Depends on the conflict (most relevantly the Arab-Jew beef is a 20th century thing), but also: Conflict doesn’t have to lead to tyranny or violence; it can be and in many places is resolved peacefully or mostly peacefully.

You must mean the British and French who took control from the Ottomans. America had very little to do with it until much later.
