Often, the affected population would be transfered to a region not adjacent or even suited to their way of life, the transfer would be forced, and would cause them substantial harm.
When two populations are transferred in opposite directions at about the same time, the process has been called a population exchange. Such exchanges took place as late as the early 20th century, e.g. as part of agreements between post-Ottoman Turkey and Greece.
According to political scientist Norman Finkelstein transfer was considered as an almost humanist solution to the problems of ethnic conflict, up until around World War II and even a little afterward, in certain cases. Transfer was considered a drastic but 'often necessary' means to end an ethnic conflict or ethnic civil war. The feasibility of population transfer was hugely increased by the creation of railroad networks from the mid-19th century.
Population transfer differs more than simply technically from individually-motivated migration, though at times of war, the act of fleeing from danger or famine often blurs the differences. If a state can preserve the fiction that migrations are the result of innumerable "personal" decisions, then the state may be able to justify its stand that it has not been culpably involved. Jews who had actually signed over properties in Germany and Austria during Nazism found it nearly impossible to be reimbursed after World War II.
Given the logistics of a forced "transfer," it is widely thought of as a euphemism for ethnic cleansing, which in turn, carries the connotations of violence and genocide. In its most idealistic connotation, "transfer" is the mildest form of ethnic cleansing — a peaceful relocation of a compliant people from one area to another. Nationalist agitation and its supportive propaganda are typical political tools by which public support is cultivated in favor of population transfer as a solution to conflict.
