In 1991, the name of MOD was changed to 'Menace of Destruction' by the younger generation to better align with their youth. The breakup of 'Peace MOD' created rivalries between MOD, ORB, and MBS until the latter two became defunct in the late 1990s. The reason behind the breakup is unclear, although it is suggested that there was a power struggle between members, which caused 'Peace MOD' to break into three gangs that included the 'Masters of Destruction.' The other two splinter gangs were known as the 'Mongolian Boys Society' (MBS) and the 'Oriental Ruthless Boys' (ORB). These youth formed the 'Masters of Destruction' (MOD). In 1988, a handful of Hmong youth broke off from the very first Hmong gang in California known as 'Peace MOD', originally formed in 1985 in Fresno, California to fight off Latino, Black, and other Asian gangs preying upon the Hmong community. Together, they started off as a brotherhood until one thing led to another that resulted to violence. To counter such actions, Hmong youth banded together. Hmong families were constantly robbed and mercilessly beaten. They were settled in the ghettoes of America, which they faced prejudice, bullying, and racism. One of those were the Hmong, an indigenous people of Eastern China and Southeast Asia.
