Abstract	:	This thesis examines secondary sources, combined with primary sources including newspaper articles, eye-witness accounts, diplomatic communiqués, government documents, and memoirs, to investigate the role of historical memory on German foreign policy by comparing two significant events. The conclusion reached is that, despite German culpability in the Armenian Genocide, because it occurred before World War II and the Holocaust, German foreign policy and the international response to it were not motivated by historical memory. However, despite German innocence in the Bosnian Genocide, because it occurred after World War II, German foreign policy was driven by a need to ensure that the international community would not implicate Germany in the genocide simply because of the historical memory of the Holocaust.
