Forced deportation, mass evacuation and displacement of peoples took place in many of the countries involved in World War II. These were caused both by the direct hostilities between Axis and Allied powers, and the border changes enacted in the pre-war settlement. The crisis in former Axis-occupied territories after liberation provided the context for much of the new international refugee and human rights architecture that survives today.
