The Shadows of Post-WWII: Nationalism, Ethnic Conflicts & Atrocities

🌍 After the hope-filled end of World War II, the world witnessed the rise of nationalism, ethnic conflicts, and the resulting atrocities that reshaped borders and human lives. This video is focused on AP European History Topic 9.5, and explores the complex causes, heartbreaking events, and the everlasting impact of these conflicts on the global stage. 🕊️

We look into the desire for autonomy, the strife fueled by ethnic differences, and spotlight specific cases like the Balkans' rough breakup, Ireland's "The Troubles", Chechnya's fight for independence, and the peaceful yet persistent movements in Belgium. We don't shy away from the grim realities of ethnic cleansing witnessed in the Bosnian War and the Kosovo crisis, and aim to shed light on the dark chapters of postwar nationalism and the struggle for power and identity. 🌐
