Transnational Mass Violence

This section offers a general overview of cases of mass violence that propagated at the scale of a continent. In certain cases the process of destruction acquired such a large dimension that we can consider them to be cross-border. The twentieth century encompasses essentially the following cases:

• Asia-Pacific under Japanese occupation during World War II
• Fall of the Ottoman Empire
• Nazi Europe
• Soviet Union

Prior consultation of these general listings regarding transnational cases of mass violence is a practical starting point for the reader who will be able to deepen his research with more specific country-by-country works and contributions.
