(answer is a single word) These have existed for a long time. They were the burden of possession of a few and caused the deaths of many. The phonetic sound (e.g. IN-DEE-AH is phonetic sound of india) of this word starts with a shortened girl's name and ends with something that is deliberately burnt. Cortez' greed began one of these.
There were many of these in ancient times, much less so today.
The answer has to fulfill all the clues. Nice attempts though
All right, the correct answer has been said: its empire.
EM - PYRE. Cortez' greed established the spanish empire as it became. Few people really owned empires and carried the weight of the empire on their shoulders i.e. the rulers. You could be part of empire but very few could own it. Empires rarely were built on peace and it was inevitable that people were killed for maintaining it and expansion, or the empire itself was grabbed by violent means by another empire. And empires existed in far greater frequency in ancient times than now...
Id choose best answer now but im not able to yet, guess got a wait a bit.
Ive made up a few more riddles, if you want ill post them.
Thanks for all the attempts
