The words holocaust (in the modern sense) and genocide hardly existed at the time. (It seems that the word genocide was first used in 1944). The recent practice of some legislatures declaring certain events to be genocide was completely unknown till much later.
AnswerNo. The holocaust was the attempted wholesale extermination, by Nazi Germany, of all Jews, Slavs and other people the Nazis considered "subhuman". the United States, and its allies, stopped the holocaust by winning the war.
nowhere, the Holocaust was not a military action
the holocaust
yes, there is some controversy as they delayed the timing of their attack. It was a military action, as part of the war, not part of the Holocaust.
When capitalized, as the Holocaust, the term refers quite specifically to the Nazi genocide of the Jews. This began in 1941. The two dates preferred for the start are either 8 December 1941, when routine mass gassings of Jews began at Chelmno, or 25 June 1941 when the Nazi mobile killing squads went into action in Lithuania. The term was consciously chosen in preference to the earlier term Final Solution [of the Jewish Question], which was the Nazis' own term. The holocaust with a small 'h' often refers to the wider Nazi killings on the basis of group identity. (Please see related question). The period of persecution that preceded the Holocaust is not normally included in the Holocaust. There is, after all, a difference between persecution and mass murder or genocide. In late 1941 the great majority of Jews in Nazi held territory were still alive, but two years later most were dead.
For the simple reason that slaughtering defenceless civilians in order to commit genocide is not a military action.
The genocide began in June 1941 as the mobile killing units went into action behind German lines in the then Soviet Union.
There is proof of the Armenian Genocide because of the survivors that are recorded on tape. Anyone who denies it being a Genocide is stupid, it was a Genocide. Turks deny it and are making threats to the US to not take action or call it a Genocide.. We are allies with the Turks... There are still things to prove it to be true. Just as the holocaust was denied, even though they tried to cover it up.. Genocide, causes people to deny because they don't want to lose there respect. Our Governors or now Governing for the Turks. they are getting payed millions of dollars.

Genocide
Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.The term "genocide" was coined by Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959), a Polish-Jewish scholar, 1944, firstly from Latin "gens, gentis" meaning "birth, race, stock, kind" or the Greek root "genos" with the same meaning; secondly from Latin -cidium (cutting, killing) via French -cide.Genocide does not necessarily have to mean killing or massacring by murder or military action. Genocide can come in various forms including: starvation, deplacement, serious bodily or mental harm, lowering quality of life to the point where the culture is unable to sustain itself and grow, imposing measures to prevent birth within the group or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.Some examples of genocide include: transatlantic slave trade, genocide of the Native Americans, the Herero Genocide, the Armenian Genocide, the Great Famine/ Ukrainian Genocide, Rape of Nanking, the Holocaust, Mao Tse-Tung's Cultural Revolution, the Cambodian Genocide, Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Genocide in Darfur.

The actions taken to bring about and to carry out the Holocaust were atrocious. These actions should have never been allowed.
