The loss of human life is one of the direct outcomes of wars, but wars also lead to massive forced displacement of large populations across huge geographic and political terrains. In historical perspective, war-induced large scale demographic transfers and resettlement led to a variety of outcomes each extensively affecting the society and the country that experienced the loss and those societies and countries that received the refugees.
What are these outcomes? What should we be paying our attention to when it comes to such a massive exodus of the refugees from Ukraine? How does today’s experience of forced displacement compare to those that took place in the 20th century?
