Hatfield's and McCoy's - feuding amongst themselves until the 'governement' shows up - then they join forces to expel a common enemy - once the common enemy is gone, they go back to feuding...until they begin marrying between the families and the feud ends - guess it isn't only an American tradition. 
And so it goes...
