Adler: frustration and the people

I'm asking for help ! I'm actually writing about a French historian, Jean-Baptiste Duroselle who seems to be influenced by Alfred Adler. Duroselle contends that even a people, for instance the French people during the French Revolution 1789, aspires to exert power on the condition it is frustrated. I do not believe that this historical hypothesis stems originally from Adler's theories. In my opinion Duroselle transformed Adler's idea so that it fits into his personal theory of International Relations. But looking for confirmation by a specialist I ask the following question: does Adler imply that a whole people - and not only individual beings - being frustrated by social or economic circumstances may try to impose its will on other peoples ?
