The First World War was a Caesura?

---

This academic anthology examines the border regions of the late Ottoman, Russian, and Habsburg empires during the First World War to analyze whether the conflict constituted a radical turning point, or caesura, in the history of state-sponsored mass violence. The book investigates how the wartime anxieties of these multi-ethnic empires fueled deep suspicions toward religious and national minorities, culminating in unprecedented dimensions of demographic engineering, forced deportations, and catastrophic population policies. Highlighting the Armenian Genocide as the most extreme manifestation of these structural escalations, the contributing scholars contextualize cross-border state radicalization and regional violence. Ultimately, the volume serves as a vital comparative reference for historians and political scientists exploring the dark nexus between totalitarian security concepts, war crimes, and twentieth-century genocidal history.
