Document Summary
Ethnicity and war irredentism all the time: hot pursuit, refugees, efforts to unify lost territory inhabited by kin i. e. pakistan/india with kashmir, bosnia/croatia, somalia/ethiopia, Taiwan/china political movement to take lost territory back into your country a clear path between ethnicity and interstate violence: kurdhish style/agglomeration. When a bunch of little countries want to be a big country. Kurdistan with a bunch of kurds from all sorts of countries. Greater armenia (post cold war), greater croatia, greater serbia. Internationalization of civil war (especially over past 20 years: civil wars are no longer neatly boxed in countries and outsiders are brought in. Violate the sovereignty of another country by following those who you are hunting across borders. Causes escalation of violence along the border. Rwanda caused a world war in africa because people went to congo to fight to rwandan government so rwandans went to congo. If they flee and settle nearby, they make camps.
