Nationalism and Violence

Omer Bartov, a historian from Brown University, delivers a talk titled "Nationalism and Violence" as part of Facing History's Day of Learning "Reimagining Self and Other." In this episode, Bartov uses the history of the Eastern European region of Eastern Galicia as a case study of how nationalism can be a source for violence. To illustrate this point, Bartov traces the often bloody history of the region from the 1860s to post-World War II, including the transitions in policies and governments that led to the creation of various religious and national identities, and the conflicts that arose among the various groups.
