Description

What are the connections, if any, between revolution and genocide? And what parallels can we draw between the Holocaust and the Young Turks' massacre of Armenians in World War I?

That does not mean all revolutions lead to genocide but, in these two instances, wartime did facilitate genocide as state policy.
