Description: This chapter answers positively the question of whether the First World War was a caesura with regard to demographic engineering in modem history. The Young Turks inaugurated the Europe of dictators, genocide, and demographic engineering. This historical approach opts for a non-traditional chronology in emphasising not the First World War of 1914—18 alone, but the whole long Ottoman war decade, lasting from the Balkan Wars to the war for Asia Minor (1912-22). This whole decade is relevant for our question, although the main events of a domestic genocide of unseen dimension - the Armenian Genocide in 1915-16 - in fact took place during the World War.
