Best Answer

There were various forms of discrimination and recriminations that occurred during World War 1.

Civilian Abuses

Most egregious was the Armenian Genocide in which 1.8 million Armenians were killed by Turks and Kurds. Turks in the Balkans (especially Greece and Serbia) were attacked during this period as were Slavs and Greeks in what remained of the Ottoman Empire.

Military Discrimination

There was racism in the United States Armed Forces with Black Soldiers serving in exclusively Black Units under White leadership. Women were expressly forbidden from active combat by all sides. The French Army was divided along linguistic boundaries with those who did not speak French as a native language were reprimanded and attacked by French-speaking officers. (These other French spoke Breton, Occitan - Langue d'Oc, Provençal, Strasbourgian or other similar languages). The Russian Army forced all of its draftees to outwardly embrace the Russian Orthodox Church even if they were Catholic or Jewish and do things such as eat pork, observe Russian Orthodox Holidays, and pray in Orthodox Churches with icons.
