A Solution to 'The Problem from Hell'?: Quantifying the Effects of Military Interventions on the Severity of Mass Killings and Genocides

The research seeks to answer: Why are some international military interventions during mass killings or genocides successful at decreasing their severity? Data investigates mass killings and genocides that occurred from 1955-2018. Specifically, the three independent variables of military interventions being investigated are directionality, number of troops deployed, and timing of the intervention. Ultimately, the conclusions of the research may serve to guide foreign policy during mass killings and genocides in the future.
