Andrew Bell-Fialkoff -- A Brief History of Ethnic Cleansing ? REVISITING THE SINS OF ANTIQUITY THE SERBIAN CAMPAIGN The Serbian campaign to ?cleanse" a territory of another ethnic group, while gruesome and tragic, is historically speaking neither new nor remarkable. Population removal and transfer have occurred in history more often than is generally acknowledged. The central aim of the Serbian campaign--to eliminate a population from the "homeland' in order to create a more secure, ethnically homogeneous state-is in some ways as old as antiquity. Moreover, despite greater international attention and condemnation, such campaigns have only intensified in the late nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
