But when they do, it is not that the people were also massacred entirely, they just stopped using old identities.

When the Roman Empire fell, the Roman people did not die or disappear. They lived just as before. It is that the people stopped identifying themselves as the Romans. The Inca Empire was destroyed in 1533, but the descendants still live today. They changed their identity, although gradually, after the Spanish conquered them. 

The opposite is also true. When a new nation is created, the people start using new identity just as we can observe after the American Revolution. During the colonial time, the African people had mostly tribal identity only. But after the independence, many of them started to have the identity as a citizen of their countries.

An ethnic group does not die or vanish, but an identity does. The creation of a new state is not physically creating new people, but the creation of a new identity.

It influences the perception, the sympathy and empathy, the understanding, and the behavior of people.

But people still do not fully understand it. That is because it is rare to see the examples of identity influencing human thoughts and behaviors.

So, I am asking people here to come up with examples of identity influencing human behavior, and write them in the comment.
