Weder irrationaler Hass noch Rachegefühle waren die bestimmenden Triebkräfte »ethnischer Säuberungen« im 20. Jahrhundert. Die Flucht, Vertreibung und vertraglich vereinbarten Zwangsaussiedlungen von Millionen von Menschen wurden systematisch und rational durch die internationale Politik gesteuert. Philipp Ther nimmt die Voraussetzungen und die verantwortlichen Akteure dieser »dunklen Seite« des modernen Europa in den Blick. Eingängig analysiert er Fälle »ethnischer Säuberungen« in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts sowie im ehemaligen Jugoslawien und im Kaukasus in den 1990er Jahren.
Dieses Buch ist ein Grundlagenwerk zu »ethnischen Säuberungen« im modernen Europa.
"Ethnic cleansings" are not solely the deeds of dictators, but have also been perpetrated by democratically elected politicians. They are the result of modern nationalism and the creation of sovereign national states in the 19th and 20th centuries. This book provides fundamental insights into one of the darkest chapters of modern Europe. It deals with the prerequisites necessary for »ethnic cleansings« to occur, and with the times and persons responsible for the displacement, forced relocation and deportation of entire peoples. This report is not limited to Eastern Europe, but also highlights the role of the Western powers. The author gives a sweeping look at the Balkan wars just before World War I to the »ethnic cleansings« during and as a result of World War II up to the civil wars in former Yugoslavia and the Caucasus in the 1990s.
