Pogroms are violent riots or mob attacks directed against a specific ethnic or religious group, often resulting in mass killings, destruction of property, and widespread terror. Historically, they are most commonly associated with anti-Jewish violence in Eastern Europe during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, particularly in the Russian Empire. Pogroms often arose from a combination of social, economic, and political tensions, leading to scapegoating and persecution of minority communities. The term has since been used more broadly to describe similar acts of violence against other groups.
