2017 History Institute "What is Eurasia? And Why Does It Matter?" Robert Hamilton, Black Sea Fellow, FPRI; Professor, Department of National Security and Strategy, U.S. Army War College presenting "The Post-Soviet Conflicts" The dissolution of the Soviet Union was accompanied by the emergence of several ethnic conflicts across its territory. Was the Soviet Union's collapse relatively violent, or should we instead be surprised at how contained these conflicts were? What factors drive the conflicts - in Georgia, Moldova, and Nagorno Karabakh - that are scattered around the post-Soviet space.
