European history; 20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000; Genocide & ethnic cleansing

Focusing on the major cases of genocide in twentieth-century Europe,

including the Armenian genocide, the Holocaust, and genocide in the

former Yugoslavia, as well as mass killing in the Soviet Union, this book outlines the internal and external roots of

genocide. Internal causes lie in the rise of radical nationalism and

the breakdown of old empires, while external causes lie in the

experience of mass violence in European colonial empires. Such roots did

not make any case of genocide inevitable but did create models for mass

destruction. The book enables students to assess the interplay between

general causes of violence and the specific crises that accelerated

moves towards radical genocidal policies. Chapters on the major cases of

twentieth-century European genocide will each describe and analyse

several key themes: acts of genocide; perpetrators, victims and

bystanders; and genocide in particular regions. Using the voices of the

human actors in genocide, often ignored or forgotten, provides arresting

new insights. The conclusion frames European genocide in a global

perspective, giving students an entry point to discussion of genocide in

other continents and historical periods.
