Abstract

This article attempts a systematic comparison of the myths surrounding the Battle of Kosovo Polje in 1389, that of the Boyne in 1690 in Ireland, that of Mohacs in Hungary in 1526, & finally the Battle of Alcazarquivir in Morocco in 1578. The purpose of the comparison is to establish some of the ingredients that account for a perpetuation of the trauma & that cause havoc in future generations. The working hypothesis put forward is that two noxious factors playing a central role in the causation of interethnic war are (a) unmourned traumata with (b) the associated rage being directed outward & not inward, & that both are significantly mediated by the myths associated with the traumata. 1 Table, 39 References.
