Humanity was destined to break apart. It only took a few generations for the split to occur. The very moment it can be traced to was when the lower social classes created a culture that celebrated their lack of education and wisdom. For generations it was everyone's ambition to climb the social ladder, but when the lower classes cast away that ambition humanity could never be one again.
Classes morphed into castes within years. This new caste system was rigid, but not in the historical fashion. The lower caste despised those above, and any who were not born into the lower caste were shunned. Upper castes over the years merged into one caste as the educational system, hated by the lower caste, become perfected.
Nations fell away over the years, except for one. The lower caste threw away the democratic traditions of the hated "elites", and replaced it with a theocracy born of hate and ignorance. This new religious order preached the destruction of the heathen elites and only through their death would God bring about the rapture.
The theocracy had numerical superiority, while the democracy had a clear technological advantage. Small skirmishes were not uncommon along the border as members of the theocracy made food raids due to famine.
Over the top story? maybe...
