２０世纪即将过去，回顾这１００年来的世界民族问题大事件，是十分有意义的。２０世纪是一个人类文明大发展的世纪，也是一个多灾多难的世纪。本世纪的民族问题也与这两个特点紧密相联，许多重大民族问题是跨世纪的、甚至是几个世纪前的历史遗留，它们常常与国际关系、国家状? The twentieth century is about to pass and it is very meaningful to review the great event of world ethnic issues in the past 100 years. The 20th century is a century of great development of human civilization and a century of troubled times. The national question of this century is also closely linked with these two features. Many major ethnic issues are the ones left over from the past century or even centuries ago. They often relate to international relations and statehood.
