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 they did
create models for mass destruction. This 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 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, this volume provides arresting new insights,
while the conclusion frames European genocide in a global
perspective, giving students an entry point to the discussion of
genocide in other continents and historical periods.
