      Michael Parenti's To Kill a Nation is about this process as it was used committed in Yugoslavia.

      Essentially, Yugoslavia remained communist instead of surrendering to capitalism like it was "supposed" to, like the USSR and the rest of the Eastern block had. So the CIA began an intense propaganda campaign to turn the different nationalities living within the state against each other. The result was a horrific war, with ethnic cleansings committed by many groups, culminating in a brutal bombing campaign by NATO - the "defensive" alliance - and the splintering apart of a successful multinational socialist state.

      I hope Operation Gladio is something you know part of that whole thing was supporting and training the grey wolves, during the cold war and up to 2000 they've trained various turkish nationalist/fascist groups that would target the PKK stoking turkish-kurdisch conflict. You have CIA involvement in the middle east in general like the whole Syria thing and of course the Balkans, for example the CIA backed the Kosovo Liberation Army stoking the serb-albanian ethnic conflict.
