Nationalism has often fueled genocide by promoting the idea of a singular national identity, which can marginalize or dehumanize minority groups. When a dominant national group perceives others as threats to their cultural or political integrity, it can lead to violent attempts to eliminate those groups, as seen in historical events like the Holocaust and the Rwandan Genocide. Additionally, nationalist rhetoric can incite hatred and justify atrocities, as leaders manipulate national pride to rally support for violent actions against perceived enemies. Ultimately, nationalism can create an environment where genocidal actions are seen as a means of preserving or purifying the nation.
You have to be more specific about which genocide you are referring to, as there has been dozens of genocide over the years.
The Kurdish genocide occurred primarily due to the government's desire to suppress Kurdish nationalism and establish control over the Kurdish population in Iraq. Saddam Hussein's regime targeted Kurds for their ethnic identity and opposition to his rule, leading to widespread human rights abuses and atrocities.
Answer 1Because people didn't have the couarage to stand up for themselves and take over they were to scared to do anything about it.Answer 2Relatively speaking, the Armenian genocide was rather quick (only 2.5 years). Compare this to the Holocaust which was between 4-7 years, depending on how you count it, the Cambodian Genocide, which was also around 4 years, the Circassian Genocide, which occurred over decades, etc. It was part of World War I and existed for as long as the Ottoman leaders believed that it was worthwhile to remove the Armenians.
Nationalism played a crucial role in the genocide of the Armenian people during World War I by fostering an exclusionary sense of identity that prioritized ethnic Turks over minority groups. The Ottoman Empire, motivated by a desire to create a homogenous Turkish state, viewed Armenians as a threat to national unity and security. This led to the systematic persecution and deportation of Armenians, justified by nationalist rhetoric that portrayed them as disloyal and conspiratorial. Ultimately, this extreme nationalism facilitated the widespread violence and atrocities committed against the Armenian population.
First of all, genocide has never ended in Rwanda. For a few years after the Genocide of Rwanda, the U.N. only "tranquilized" the genocide. There is still genocide happening over in Rwanda still to this day. Anyone who has told you differently has not seen the news recently. The U.N. is to this day still trying to get rid of genocide for good. Actually this is incorrect. The genocide is not still happening in Rwanda. It started in April 1994 and ended in July 1994 and cost the lives of over 1 million people. I went to Kigali this summer which is the capital of Rwanda and experienced a very peaceful country. Anyone who believes it is still happening is lost and needs to research the genocide more clearly.
Obey your Government or you will pay!!! Genocide: The easy way to take care of over-population.
The Holocaust was the systematic genocide of 8 million Jews. The holocaust was the genocide of over 8 million people.
During the Rwandan Genocide, over 900,00 tutsis were killed by the hutus with machetes.
Yes, it ended in 1994.
