In the wake of World War I, Greece and the Turkish rump of the Ottoman Empire exchanged millions of ethnic Turks and Greeks, under miserable conditions. In some instances, historical epics about the Ottoman period were abused by governments that showed them as part of campaigns that increased inter-ethnic tensions--Bulgarian Vreme na nasilie (Time of Violence, 19 88, by Lyudmil Staykov) dealt with a seventeenth-century forced conversion to Islam, but was made and released at the peak of the assimilationist campaign against the ethnic Turks of Bulgaria in the 1980s.
