- This essay considers the political idea of nationality as first cause of the violent demographic recasting of the Eastern European 'rimlands.' It does so in the particular context of the First World War in which all the Great Powers, Britain included, sought to mobilise presumptive national groups in the 'enemy camp' in their own interest. It also charts how self-proclaimed and increasingly radicalised national elites played these high-risk games for their own state-orientated agendas. The interaction between the two sets of players exposed a slew of ethnic peoples to mortal danger, with the Armenian genocide the most extreme example.
