The only other creatures on Earth that will kill off other "colonies" (that I am aware of) are ants.

People will tell you he didn't make us like that and that once we ate from the tree of knowledge it was all in our hands and all our fault.
remember the bad things that man does is mans own fault. But anything good that happens is the work of god.

Violence has a long history. The first act of physical violence by a human that is recorded in the Bible is described at Genesis 4:2-15. Cain, the first son of Adam and Eve, grew jealous of his brother Abel and murdered him in cold blood. How did God react? The Bible explains that Jehovah God punished Cain severely for taking the life of his brother.
At Genesis 6:11, we read that more than 1,500 years after that incident, the earth was “filled with violence.” Again, what was God’s reaction? He commanded righteous Noah to build an ark that would keep him and his family safe while Jehovah brought a deluge on the earth, thus ‘bringing to ruin’ that violent society. (Genesis 6:12-14, 17) But what had caused the populace to be so bent on violence?
The Genesis account reveals that sons of God, disobedient angels, had materialized as humans, married women, and produced offspring. (Genesis 6:1-4) The offspring, known as Nephilim, were men of extraordinary size and fame. Under the influence of their demon fathers, they became violent bullies. When the floodwaters rose and covered the earth, these wicked bullies perished. But the demons apparently dematerialized and returned to the spirit realm.
The Bible makes clear that since then, these rebel angels have exerted a strong influence on humans. (Ephesians 6:12) Their leader, Satan, is called the original “manslayer.” (John 8:44) Hence, the violence that takes place on earth could properly be referred to as demonic, or satanic.
The Bible warns of the seductive power of violence. At Proverbs 16:29, it states: “A man of violence will seduce his fellow, and certainly causes him to go in a way that is not good.” Many today have been seduced into approving of, promoting, or perpetrating acts of violence. Also, millions of people have been enticed into enjoying entertainment that glorifies violence. The words of Psalm 73:6 can accurately be used to describe today’s generation. The psalmist says: “Haughtiness has served as a necklace to them; violence envelops them as a garment.”
In harmony with these words, Christians avoid association with those who promote or perpetrate violence. Clearly, God hates those who promote violence. The Bible states: “Jehovah himself examines the righteous one as well as the wicked one, and anyone loving violence His soul certainly hates.” (Psalm 11:5) Christians are admonished to avoid all forms of uncontrolled anger, even verbal violence.—Galatians 5:19-21; Ephesians 4:31.
We would do well to start a personal study of the bible to learn what God's view point is because it means our everlasting life. It is through his provision of Jesus Christ that we have the opportunity for everlasting life. By taking the initiative to seek out this knowledge we show our appreciation of the creator of heaven and earth.

God made the first people (Adam and Eve) with pure souls (sinless). Due to their misuse of free will (freedom of choice), they introduced sin and evil into the world and those of us born after them have souls marked with original sin, which gives us a propensity toward evil.
We can, however, overcome our evil urges, by applying grace over nature. So, we can choose not to be evil. Unfortunately, most don't.
When it comes to nation against nation (or the like), there may be various factors involved--land grabs, economic slavery, political dissension, etc.

He didn't, the very first prophecy in the Bible was in Genesis 3.
Gen 3:15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel."
Women do not have a seed. Women have an egg. This was a prophecy of the virgin birth of Jesus.
Satan saw the Bruise your head part, and if you follow to Cain and Abel, he immediately tried to rebuff God on this.
Now, the moment Adam and Eve sinned, God made the first Blood sacrifice and clothed them. This was another picture of Jesus covering our sin. After that murder and sin became prone to man. We needed Jesus.

He didnt.
He gave the potential.
The potential to do a lot of evil comes with the potential to do a lot of good.
But upbringing, culture and family values all drive people into chosing a specific lifestyle for themselves.
If yorue talking about wars between countries, thats all for money and people can do a lot of BS for money.

God didn't make people voilent or sinful. Satan tempts every human and most of them fall to it everyday. It's only with a relationship with God and knowledge of his will and words that you can press through that temptation to do much greater things.

God didn't deliberately create "inherently violent" people. His original creation was to be peaceful and loving. That ended when Eve committed the first sin and that's when sin entered human nature.

He did not make anyone violent. He gave us a free will to be like him and follow his ten commandments in order to get to the kingdom of heaven, or not to and go to hell, if you don't repent. People who are violent are so by choice.

God didn't create humans as violent........we were created as perfect humans but because of Adam and Eve's disobedience to God through their generations we have become violent. Read the first book of the Bible.......Genesis........it will tell you what happened after they disobeyed.
