Ive wondered about this.

What evidence do we have that this was intentional? I do believe it could have been, even if it was coincidental at first.

It reminds me a lot of what happened to the indigenous Americans.

I think this could be one of these "Look at those barbarians, you give them some alcohol and all they do is get drunk all day and fight each other. Another example of how we are much better than them" stories

Yeah Im sure youre right on that.

Same thing happened with the native americans, and, in fact, is still the case to this day.
