Genocide in the age of the nation-state ; v. 2 The rise of the West and the coming of genocide

Genocide developed out of modernity and the striving for the nation-state. One critical outcome, on the cusp of modernity, was the French revolutionary destruction of the Vendee. Mark Levene finishes this volume at the 1914 watershed with the destabilising effects of the 'rise of the West' on older Ottoman, Chinese, Russian and Austrian empires.
