The Escalation of Violence – War Crimes against Civilians
Violence against the civilian population reaches new heights during the First World War. With deportation, pogroms and genocide, particularly in the multi-ethnic border regions. Serbia, one of the most brutal war arenas, where Austrian troops slaughter around 4,000 civilians – widely concealed from official war reports. In the shadow of world war, the Armenian genocide also occurs. Soldiers of the Ottoman Empire kill hundreds of thousands through massacres and trains of deportation into the desert. The German government does not intervene, seeking to keep Turkey as a war ally.
