their personalities were so different that there were bound to be problems. One reason there is hostility between the races is because Thingol was slain by the dwarves and they were responsible(as was thingol) along with the orcs for the ruin of doriath. The dwarves responsible for the destruction of doriath i believe were those out of Belegost and Nagrod, yet mnay elves held a grudge with the whol dwarf race including those of moria, who aided them in the battles of eriador. Another obvious one isthey awoke the balrog in moria.
