This is quite circular with the original point of this thread (aka "better or worse?"), because the thing keeping open hostility between the two groups at bay was . . . oppressive dictatorship from one side, and associated fearmongering and death.
This really gives the question a lot more depth than most posts acknowledge, in my mind.
