Enemies are creation of our minds, either for sustaining the identities of our nations or demonstrating our imagined superiority.

The idea of enemy doesn't come naturally, unless nations have the notion of other nations as ''their Others''.

According to Umberto Eco this idea of Otherness is the paramount for creating the enemies. The word enemy has roots in Latin inimicus, first used in the 13 century, meaning the individual or group deemed to be threatening.

However, it needs to be stressed that the Others aren't always considered as the enemies unless they are reasoned as the potential threat to the authority or narrative of one community or state.

Umberto Eco has interpreted this idea of enemy as lying behind the identity of the nations.

The differences among the individuals or groups within the same community or a nation can also cause the emotions of enmity.

For instance, the Cuban Revolution, that took place between  1953 and 1959 against the dictator  Batista, was led by Fidel Castro, who differed with dictator's ideologies, proffering them as enemy of the Cuban people and supported the cogitation of the democracy and socialism rather than capitalist dictatorship.

It would have been almost impossible to mobilise Cuban people without having instilled in their mind the images of enemy residing among them.

Other political movements like nationalism which glorifies one nation and disparages other can also make its followers to reckon other nations as their enemies.

For example, the nationalist movements in subcontinent in 20th century bifurcated the Muslims and Hindus by glorifying one and demonising the other.

As the animus relations are embedded in the concept of Otherness, these can be prevented by infusing the ideas of confederation in the minds of humans.

This would make them to co-operate with each other and work as a unit in harmony and peace. We do not really need enemies to define our identities.

Switzerland is one of the most peaceful nations in the world and is reckoned to have no enemies because of the 200 year's long history of peace.

In literature too, we find examples that unfold how enemies are invented.

Again quoting Umberto Eco, who refers to George Orwell's 1984, in which continuous need of the  enemy for our identity as beings, is illustrated by the example of a political personality Oceana-

Emmanuel Goldstein, who appears on the television and is giving a speech in which he announces that their country is no longer at war with Eurasia, now an ally, but instead they are at war with their former ally Eastasia, inventing new enemy.

The idea of us [West] and them [Oriental]' by Edward Said also points out how invented differences  among nations taking extreme form also give birth to enmity.
