Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The term "atrocity" describes an act of violence condemned by contemporaries as a breach of morality or the laws of war. "Atrocities" are culturally constructed by 1914, an international discourse on "civilized" war had defined "atrocities" as acts perpetrated by an enemy that was "uncivilized", or "barbarian".
