Example of an event like the Holocaust that has happened since world war 2?

Answer 1

Yes - Rwanda 1994 - 800,000 Tutsis slaughtered by Hutus on racial grounds. Their weapon of choice: the machete, a type of sword that is curved, and wider at the end.

There was also a genocide of millions of Armenians after World War I, in Turkey, by fanatical Moslem turks, inspired by radical Islamist imams [clerics]. When General Ataturk came into power, he ordered the massacres to stop, but almost none of the clerics stopped preaching hatred of the Armenians. He jailed all of them, and had many executed. After that, the massacres stopped. He then put in place a secular form of government, and banned the clerics from holding political office. Only recently have Moslems clerics been allowed to have any formal say in the government in Turkey. However, an increase in persecution and attacks toward Christians and Jews has come in with allowing imams to make statements at government meetings.

What does this have to do with the Holocaust in WWII Germany? Numerous German officers had stayed in Turkey after WWI. They were on hand to observe how the Turks went about turning the citizenry against the christian Armenians [and Jews]: gradually. First, thru inflammatory preaching in the Mosques; then, thru Propaganda; until there were gangs of thugs, running thru the streets with machetes, killing any Armenian they could find.

When these officers returned to Germany, they applied propaganda techniques to rid themselves of those most likely to disagree with their socialist political ideology, called Nazism: Jews, and the christians who dared to hide and defend them.

Answer 2

There have been a number of incidents of genocide since WW II. These include the killing fields of Cambodia under the Pol Pot regime, the slaughter of East Timorese by Indonesia, the ongoing genocide in the Darfur region of Sudan, the mutual slaughter that took place in Rwanda between the Hutu and the Tutsi tribes, and several more.

Answer 3

The Ottoman Turks slaughtered more than a million Armenians in 1915-6, but still won't admit it. This refusal to come clean contines to hold up Turkish membership in NATO.

Hutus and Tutsis in Africa about fifteen years ago - more than 700,000 hacked to death in about six weeks.

When the Khmer Rouge took over Cambodia in the chaos after the US withdrew from Vietnam, they instituted a reign of terror and killed two million out of seven million Cambodians, which, in percentage terms, may make them the all-time champions. Perhaps not a true genocide, since it was Cambodian Communists killing other Cambodians, for political, not racial or ethnic reasons.

"Ethnic cleansing" in the former Yugoslavia as "Christian" Serbs mass murdered Muslim Bosnians. US peacekeepers, including American troops, continue to try to prevent further slaughter.

Nowhere near an exhaustive list.

Some people try to insist that white treatment of Native Americans in the US was genocide. This overstates the case and cheapens authentic genocides. In a true genocide the policy is to kill them all. In the US the policy was to take over the continent, and dispossess the Indians, but peaceful co-exiestence was sought, where possible.
