A few things the narrator omits or passes over: The Japanese modeled or stole their technological advancements, whether in ships or planes from the West. Jacob Schiff financed the Japanese Military against the Czar in retribution for the Czar's massacres of Jews in the 1880s.
Lenin, like Trotsky, were brought back to Russia by the West to bring about the Revolution to knock the Czarist Russia out of the War (Antony Sutton). Then they backed the White Russian military as this narrative displays. So the West created/financed the Communist menace that plagues us today.
Further, when describing the 'problems' with nationalism and the racial/ethnic slaughter the narrator seems to believe that all religions, philosophies etc. can all coexist and the culprit seems to be nationalism. How can intolerant and expansionist philosophies or religions like Communism/Socialism and Islam co-exist with non-expansionist philosophies and religions like patriotism: Borders, Language: Culture or Judaism (non-proselytizing and non-expansionist)? They can't, which is why fraudulent Utopian Socialist/Communist doctrines like "multiculturalism" are deemed to result in more bloodbath and....failure. I pray that the West wakes up sooner rather than later to the immense assassins politically correct poison pill...

His premise is interesting but he plugs it full of holes early on - empires are multi ethnic with a non racial identity: a stronger cultural unifying identity. And WWI had strong ethnic propaganda in the U.K. - “the Huns” - and later the US, but there’s so many stories of the soldiers on the ground getting along. Race, more narrowly defined ethnicity, narrower yet clans and tribes, and the tacit zeitgeist of regional culture are always dancing, sometimes stepping forward for a solo, sometimes a partner dance. We are like the seasons, there is a time to every purpose, under heavens.

It wasn't all about race. It WAS about great powers and new weapons. Just like when the gun was introduced in the America's, was a turning point. It was no coincidence that US ordered their defeated "allies" to give up their colonies under the pretext of humanitarian goals. They wanted the oil, bauxite, and whatever else in those colonies without having to deal with savvy westerners, is all.

Simple answer as to WHY the 20th Century was so violent and tens of millions died (minimum): POWERFUL WEAPONS. In short, put the 20th Century weapons in any despot or power-hungry megalomaniac (Persian Empire, Alexander the Great, Ghenghis Khan, The Vikings, Roman Empire, etc (the list is endless)...place modern weaponry in any era, and it would look like 20th Century. Which says what every psychologist knows: mankind has a rotten heart.

Mankind is genetically flawed to be tribal. You can see it in the silliest things like Chevy and Ford owners dissing each other or fans of two teams mistreating each other. Jesus gave us the only hope when he said "Treat others as you would want to be treated" and "Forgive lest you not be forgiven". Very few pay any attention to him and so are not real Christians even if they claim to be. Muslims follow a religion that preaches kill anyone who will not join you, even other Muslims who think a little different. They are much more enthusiastic about following their religion because it permits their natural urges. Atheists think people are just animals and don't matter so they really don't care what they do to each other as long as it doesn't bother them personally. Thus mankind, now having abundant powerful means to exterminate itself finally will succeed. Somebody should start putting up monuments in all the National Capitals saying this so that aliens, if they ever come, will know why we so stupidly committed mass suicide.

His argument that race was the primary cause of World War I was unconvincing to me. His argument might have been more persuasive if it was broader, perhaps something like, "The capacity to dehumanise individuals into systems ie in this case enemy nationalities is the primary cause of World War I" because dehumanisation does not fit into a single category like race or gender, that isn't how it works. And even then that is only a partial view of the causes for war, power and the distanced perspective of high-ranking officers & army leaders were also key. I just don't think you can sensibly claim that something as humanly complex as World War I is solely the result of something as narrow as racial dehumanisation.

More on the Turkish-Armenian conflict:

Source: Stanford J. Shaw, on Armenian collaboration with invading Russian armies in 1914, "History of the Ottoman Empire and Modern Turkey (Volume II: Reform, Revolution & Republic: The Rise of Modern Turkey, 1808-1975)." (London, Cambridge University Press 1977). pp. 315-316:

"With the Russian invasion of eastern Anatolia in 1914 at the beginning of World War I, the degree of Armenian collaboration with the Ottoman's enemy increased drastically. Ottoman supply lines were cut by guerilla attacks, Armenian revolutionaries armed Armenian civil populations, who in turn massacred the Muslim population of the province of Van in anticipation of expected arrival of the invading Russian armies... In April 1915 Dashnaks from Russian Armenia organized a revolt in the city of Van, whose 33,789 Armenians comprised 42.3 percent of the population, closest to an Armenian majority of any city in the Empire... Leaving Erivan on April 28, 1915, Armenian volunteers reached Van on May 14 and organized and carried out a general slaughter of the local Muslim population during the next two days while the small Ottoman garrison had to retreat to the southern side of the lake."

Source: Hassan Arfa, "The Kurds," (London, 1968), pp. 25-26:

"When the Russian armies invaded Turkey after the Sarikamish disaster of 1914, their columns were preceded by battalions of irregular Armenian volunteers, both from the Caucasus and from Turkey. One of these was commanded by a certain Andranik, a blood-thirsty adventurer.. These Armenian volunteers committed all kinds of excesses, more than six hundred thousand Kurds being killed between 1915 and 1916 in the eastern vilayets of Turkey."

Source: Justin McCarthy and Carolyn McCarthy, Turks and Armenians, Washington, 1989:

Page 49:

"Armenian revolutionaries had secreted arms in the City of Van and surrounding villages. Throughout April 1915, Armenian rebels infiltrated the city, which was policed only by small detachments of security forces. Clashes with Ottoman police in the city began on April 13. By April 20, the rebels had begun to fire on police stations, other government buildings, and Muslim houses. The security forces were defeated and forced to withdraw from the city in the first part of May. During and immediately after the Armenian takeover the Muslims who could not escape the city were killed, as were the Muslim inhabitants of surrounding villages which came under Armenian control. In one incident, Muslims from villages to the North of Van were herded into the village of Zeve, where all but a few of the approximately 3000 Muslim villagers were killed. Similar incidents took place throughout the region. In Van itself, the entire Muslim quarter of the city was destroyed. No Muslims were left alive in the city. Refugees were set upon the roads by Armenian guerrillas, who killed untold numbers."

Page 50: 

"The terror of Van was repeated in other cities as the Russians and Armenians advanced. In Bitlis and other cities Muslim men, women, and children were hunted down and murdered in the streets. Villagers fled before the advancing armies to be massacred on the roads by Armenian guerrilla units."

Source: John Dewey, "The Turkish Tragedy", The New Republic, Volume 40, November 12, 1928, pp. 268-269:

"Few Americans who mourn... the miseries of the Armenians, are aware that till the rise of nationalistic ambitions, beginning with the 'seventies, the Armenians were the favored portion of the population of Turkey, or that in the Great War, they traitorously turned Turkish cities over to the Russian invader; that they boasted of having raised an army of one hundred and fifty thousand men to fight a civil war, and that they burned at least a hundred Turkish villages and exterminated their population."

Source: Justin McCarthy, Death and Exile: The Ethnic Cleansing of Ottoman Muslims, 1821-1922, The Darwin Press, 2nd Printing, 1996, pp. 196-197:

"The worst Armenian massacres of Muslims and destruction of Muslim villages took place in two periods at the beginning and end of the First World War. The first period began with the entry of the Ottoman Empire into the war and the beginnings of organized Armenian rebellion against the Ottomans. It ended with the Russian conquest of eastern Anatolia in 1916. The second period began as the Russian army dissolved or retreated from eastern Anatolia and ended with the defeat of the Armenian armed forces who had taken the Russians' place in the field. For the middle period of the war, the years of Russian occupation of eastern Anatolia, from the middle of 1916 to the middle of 1917, there is very little evidence of any kind. No Ottoman investigation committees such as the ones that investigated the early atrocities were present to record the events of the Russian occupation. Scattered reports indicate that major massacres of Muslims took place, particularly in Van and Bitlis vilâyets [75]. From the large number of Muslim refugees, it is obvious that conditions were awful, but not as bad as they would become after the Russian army collapsed in 1917. The Russian Revolution brought with it the wholesale desertion of Russian soldiers on the Anatolian front. Enlisted men and some officers simply left their units and walked home, stealing their sustenance (and anything else that was available) from villages as they passed. Russian authority in eastern Anatolia was replaced by the authority of Armenian soldiers and Armenian bands, at first nominally under the control of the Transcaucasian Federation, then as troops of the Armenian Republic. The area they ruled in Anatolia stretched from Erzincan in the east to the Persian border and north to Trabzon and the border of Russian Armenia. Muslim villagers suffered from the depredations of the deserting Russian soldiers, but they suffered far worse from the Armenians who were left in charge. After the Russians departed, nothing held the Armenians in check. The events of the first period of the short Armenian rule were of a type seen all too often in that time -- murder of unarmed Muslim villagers, kidnapping of villagers, who were never seen again, destruction of Muslim markets, neighborhoods, and villages, and ubiquitous plundering and rape."

[75] A postwar British source stated that Armenians "massacred between three and four hundred thousand Kurdish people in the Van and Bitlis Districts," mostly the work of  Armenians in the Russian Army ("Interview of Col. Wooley of the British Army, 12 September 1919," in U.S. 184.021/265).

The Turkish-Armenian conflict is not described correctly in this video. Let's look at what scholarly sources write:

Justin McCarthy (Professor of History, University of Louisville): 

"Under the Seljuk Turks and later the Ottomans, the Armenians lived as a Christian religious group whose separate existence was guaranteed by the rules of Islam. Armenian dedication to their religion, their geographic situation in Eastern Anatolia, and Ottoman religious toleration guaranteed their continuation as a people." (p.7)

"The claim of Armenian nationalists to a homeland in Eastern Anatolia would be considerably bolstered if there had been an Armenian majority, or even an Armenian plurality, in the East. Such was not the case." (p. 9)

"By the 1700s, there was no large area in which Armenians made up enough of the population to be the majority in an Armenian state. No province of the Ottoman, Persian, or Russian Empires had enough Armenians to make up an Armenia. For example, even much later, in the late 1800s, after Armenians migrated and concentrated their population, in no province of the Ottoman Empire was more than one-third of the population Armenian. The majority were in fact Muslims -Turks, Kurds, and many other ethnic groups who identified themselves primarily by religion, as Muslims, just as Armenians identified themselves religiously as Armenians." (p. 11)

"The rebellions of 1894-6 have often been cited as "Armenian Massacres," or the slaughter of innocent Armenians by Turks. Leaving aside the fact that such judgements  ignore the murder of Turks and Kurds, there is a matter of common sense to consider. Because some wish to never admit that Armenians had a part in the creation of their own history of suffering, they are forced to ignore all Armenian actions against Turks. This leaves them with some difficult explanations. Why would the Turks, who had lived in relative peace with the Armenians for centuries, suddenly start to attack them? Is it just an incredible coincidence that the trouble in the East began as soon as Armenian revolutionaries began to organize there?  Apologists for the Armenian Cause have resorted to the Devil Theory of History to explain what they allege were Turkish actions - a dormant evil tendency in the Turks awakened, stimulated by evil politicians. Such explanations can only seem believable if at least half the facts are ignored and one is willing to accept the absurdities of the Devil Theory. The antidote to this type of history is common sense."

Source: Justin McCarthy and Carolyn McCarthy, Turks and Armenians, Washington DC, 1989.

“…In 1800, a vast Muslim land existed in Anatolia, the Balkans, and southern Russia. It was not only a land in which Muslims ruled, but a land in which Muslims were the majority or, in much of the Balkans and part of the Caucasus, a sizeable minority…By 1923, only Anatolia, eastern Thrace, and a section of the southeastern Caucasus remained to the Muslim land. The Balkan Muslims were largely gone, dead or forced to migrate, the remainder living in pockets of settlement in Greece, Bulgaria, and Yugoslavia. The same fate had overcome the Muslims of the Crimea, the northern Caucasus, and Russian Armenia-they were simply gone. Millions of Muslims, most of them Turks, had died; millions more had fled to what is today Turkey. Between 1821 and 1922, more than five million Muslims were driven from their lands. Five and onehalf million Muslims died, some of them killed in wars, others perishing as refugees from starvation and disease. (p.1) 

“…Despite the historical importance of Muslim losses, it is not to be found in textbooks. Textbooks and histories that describe massacres of Bulgarians, Armenians, and Greeks have not mentioned corresponding massacres of Turks. The exile and mortality of the Muslims is not known…(p.2) 

“…The history that results from the process of revision is an unsettling one, for it tells the story of Turks as victims, and this is not the role in which they are usually cast. It does not present the traditional image of the Turk as victimizer, never victim, that has continued in histories of America and Europe long after it should have been discarded with other artifacts of nineteenth-century racism…(p.3) 

“…Devoid of its historical context, the Ottoman decision to deport the Armenians appears to have been irrational, motivated primarily by hatred of a minority. In fact, from the history of events in the Balkans and the Caucasus, the Ottomans knew what to expect from nationalist revolution and Russian invasion of eastern Anatolia. In Bulgaria, Greece, and Macedonia, the same processes had led to the slaughter of Turks. Could the Ottomans expect any difference in Anatolia? For 100 years, the Russians had expanded by pushing out Muslims. They had forced out the Crimean Tatars and the Circassians. In the southern Caucasus, they had replaced Turks with Armenians. In 1915, the Russians were poised to advance once again. Armenian revolutionary groups had already begun their rebellion all over eastern Anatolia, killing Muslim villagers and even seizing the city of Van. What fate could the Muslims of the east expect when the Russians invaded? The same fate that befell the Turks of Bulgaria or Macedonia. (p.335)

Source: Professor Stanford J. Shaw, 'The Jews of the Ottoman Empire and the Turkish Republic,' New York University Press, New York (1991).

Page 239:

"While the Greek and Armenian community leaders in Istanbul and Paris pressured the Allies to drive the Turks out of Istanbul and much of Anatolia, the Empire's Jewish leaders, remembering very well the persecution their people had suffered as Ottoman territories had come under the rule of independent Christian states, not only refused to join their delegations but actively pressured the Allies to allow the Turks to remain in areas where they consisted a majority of the population, thus incurring further the wrath of the Christian leaders. In Thrace and Southwestern Anatolia also the invading Greek army, which was attempting to provide the Paris Peace Conference with a fait accompli in the territories it wished to retain, armed the Christian minorities and encouraged them to attack Muslims, with the Jews suffering as well because of their support for the Turks during the war [89], and with the once-flourishing Jewish community of Salonica in particular being permanently displaced by Greek refugees from Anatolia settled there after the Greek army evacuated Anatolia.

The Greek army that occupied much of southeastern Anatolia starting in May 1919 slaughtered thousands of Jews and Muslims in the course of its attack, not only during its initial landings at Izmir, but also in the interior during the subsequent two years, and particularly during its final retreat to Izmir, when it ravaged and burned Bursa and other towns and villages along the way. Albert Nabon, Principal of the AIU [Alliance Israelite Universelle] Boy's School in Izmir, reported to the Alliance on 6 July 1919:

'The city was put on fire and sacked, the people dispoiled of all they possessed. There is no food, putting the entire population on general, and our co-religionists in particular, in danger of suffering greatly from these privations'

going on to describe how most Jews, not only from Izmir but also from Greek attacks at Aydin, Bergama and Manisa, took refuge in his school, where they were suffering from overcrowding, lack of food, and medicine. [90]."

Page 240:

"Jewish notables, like the Muslims, were beaten and executed, many Jewish homes and shops were ravaged and burned, and hundreds of Jews were deported to almost certain death in the countryside. As the Greek army retreated in panic late in the war, moreover, it burned the Jewish and Muslim quarters of Izmit, Manisa and Bergama, destroying synagogues, yeshivas and hospitals as well as homes and businesses while killing hundreds and forcing the remainder of the non-Christian population to flee in panic, ...[95]"

In Nabon's report of 17 July 1919 (no.30/935), he stated that the Greeks at Aydin had burned 200 Jewish houses and 13 shops, had dispoiled all the local Jews of their money and property, and had strangled two Jews as well as driving the remainder to seek refuge in the local AIU school: 'At Aydin, Manisa, Tire and everywhere else, our Jews live in an atmosphere of suspicion by the Greek inhabitants' who suspect that they favor the Turks. On 23 July 1920 Nabon reported that all the Jews had left Izmir, the synagogue had not been burned, but the Greeks had taken all its valuables as well as the property of local Jews, and the streets were full of bodies.

Pinker documents the numbers of people killed by communist regimes. They are high, but not nearly as high as you suggest. However, Pinker isn't defending communism. Actually, his point is ideologies like communism are counter enlightenment forces, which are fighting against the gradual civilizing process. I would urge you to read the book before commenting on it.

› @jonesgerard 2013-11-02 06:20:44  0

Pinker hasn't a scrap of common sense. Communism, by itself, murdered ( not killed in war but murdered) more humans than all wars added up since time recorded.

The 20th century was not the most violent in history. Actually as Steven Pinker documents in detail in his book Better Angels of Our Nature, the 20th century was the least violent century in human history, when you measure violence in terms of what ratio of the world population were killed by violence (yes, including violence in wars).

Today's money? we're 17 trillion in the red. You can pay for that in one of two ways- raise taxes and deflate the money supply, or print more worthless money and pay for it through inflation. In 1968, a Hershey bar cost 8 cents. Today, it's a dollar. You need to take a few econ courses or watch Milton Friedman's "Free to Choose". It's called the Quantity Theory of Money...

But, the French have ONE LANGUAGE, ONE CULTURE, ONE EDUCATION SYSTEM! And so does every successful nation. The French were once ethnically diverse. How long do you think it took the French to build a nation out of the hodge-podge?

› @fruko1980 2013-06-20 01:11:35  0

You know nothing of nation building! Turks have been nation builders throughout history. Nations had became the rule of the day. Why should the Turks have not become a nation. To have a strong, centralised and powerful goverment is the aim of every nation. The fact that Turks have become successful at this aim is resented. Success brings resentment; it is human nature to resent those ABOVE YOU! Look at a country like France, which is ethnically diverse.

His writings say what exactly? Ever heard of the Bosnian 1908-09 crisis, a crisis triggered by Austria's unilateral occupation of Bosnia? The Austrians did not stroll into Bosnia to fill a power-vacuum, they met a successful full-scale Serbian revolt that had forced the Ottomans out in first place. The Austrian policy of pacification followed a combination of atrocities against the civilian Serbian population and the colonization of Catholic Slavs (mainly Croats) to bolster Austrian authority...

And in the West, we're all slaves to the banks who create all the money and funnel it to where ever they want and we just take it because we're too stupid to know better. The evil people today are the rich people.
