43. The Soviet Government Deports An Entire Nation
Despite the fact that nearly 40,000 Chechens fought for the Soviets in World War II, the government later accused them of helping the Nazis. To punish the Chechen people, the government decided to deport all of them to remote areas of the Soviet Union in freight cars.
On February 23, 1944, the entire Chechen population was ordered to local party buildings where they were informed they were being deported for helping the Germans. Anyone who could not be transported for some reason was to be shot immediately. In one such instance, 700 people were locked in a barn that was burned to the ground. Experts believe up to 50 percent of the Chechen population died during the deportation.

The fall of the Soviet Union had far-ranging consequences, none more devastating than in former Yugoslavia.  Beginning in 1990, the country began splintering into republics, leading to intense ethnic tensions and population displacement.  
The worst of the crimes occurred in Bosnia with the execution of thousands of Serbs in an attempt to “ethnically cleanse” the area.  A measure of peace in the area was finally established in 1995, but only in the wake of more than twenty thousand casualties—most of them the result of executions, fires, rapes, and even public beheadings.
