Genocide

We instate wengerocracy - a form of government where you get to watch the leader of your country the entire time anybody ever leads your country. That will benefit you.

By creating different states for different ethnicities. Bosnia for the muslims, a croatian state for croatians and a serbian state for serbs. By creating different states for different ethnicities. Bosnia for the muslims, a croatian state for croatians and a serbian state for serbs.

many tutsis were killed with ma-shine guns and machetes and thousands of women were raped the hutus. The radio was used to encourage ordinary people to attack tutsis.

It is not known for sure. Estimates range from 800,000 to 1,000,000 people.

before the genocide, the Hutu's and the Tutsi's lived together and even married each other, however, there had always been disagreements between the two tribes. traditionally, the Tutsi's ruled the country, but the Hutu's didn't really like the idea as the Tutsi's were only ruling the country because they were the much bigger tribe. the killing was sparked by the death of the Rwandan president, a Hutu. his plane was shot down on April 6 1994, and the Hut's assumed that it was the Tutsi's who killed him, therefore, it sparked the genocide, but to this day, no one is sure who shot down the plane.

24,000 to 100,000 Hereros. Don't know how many Germans though.

10 000 000 people, and 3 000 000 children among them. Mostly they were Ukrainian villagers, people from cities and some intelligency.

-Dictator General Efrain Rios Montt

-Guerillas ( who were terrorists)

-Prejudice against Mayans

-Rights of the mayans were violated

The estimates vary, but around 1,000,000 would be a good guess. (Roughly 3% of the population, which would be equivalent to approximately 10 million Americans.)

It is difficult to say what exactly led to the genocide in Rwanda, as there isn't agreement as to what was the impetus for this genocide. One explanation given, which was popularised by Jared Diamond's book "Collapse" is that Rwanda's people were victims of a Malthusian crisis, meaning that the genocide happened because Rwanda was overpopulated which means that because of population pressure there is environmental degradation.

This argument goes that in a country with a rising population, where there is limited resources, pressure is being placed on the land, resulting in less fertile land, which means people have to start using marginal land for agriculture. This drains the soil from nutrients. The result of this is that valuable ecosystems are destroyed, soils become depleted and natural resources become overused. As a result of this people and the environment suffer which can then lead to societal collapse and an event like the Rwandan genocide.

However, not everybody agrees with Diamond's argument for what caused the Rwandan genocide. Some blame government policies which led to discontent among Rwandans. Others blame tribal conflict between the Hutus and Tutsis.

Not JUST Jews, anyone who wasn't a pure cenral European Aryan. The Jews were his most frequent target, since they were easily identified and who were perceived as "different" because of their practices. Hitler killed the Jews to fund his war, but he also wanted to take over Europe to allow Aryans to expand.

Not only did US troops shoot down college students during this incident; but they were also protesting one of the most aggressive actions taken by US forces during the whole war; invading and attacking enemy troops in a neutral country (Cambodia). It was big news in the war, and bigger news at home.

On May 4, l970 members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of Kent State University demonstrators, killing four and wounding nine Kent State students. The impact of the shootings was dramatic. The event triggered a nationwide student strike that forced hundreds of colleges and universities to close. H. R. Haldeman, a top aide to President Richard Nixon, suggests the shootings had a direct impact on national politics. In The Ends of Power, Haldeman (1978) states that the shootings at Kent State began the slide into Watergate, eventually destroying the Nixon administration. Beyond the direct effects of the May 4th, the shootings have certainly come to symbolize the deep political and social divisions that so sharply divided the country during the Vietnam War era.

In the nearly three decades since May 4, l970, a voluminous literature has developed analyzing the events of May 4th and their aftermath. Some books were published quickly, providing a fresh but frequently superficial or inaccurate analysis of the shootings (e.g., Eszterhas and Roberts, 1970; Warren, 1970; Casale and Paskoff, 1971; Michener, 1971; Stone, 1971; Taylor et al., 1971; and Tompkins and Anderson, 1971). Numerous additional books have been published in subsequent years (e.g., Davies, 1973; Hare, 1973; Hensley and Lewis, 1978; Kelner and Munves, 1980; Hensley, 1981; Payne, 1981; Bills, 1988; and Gordon, 1997). These books have the advantage of a broader historical perspective than the earlier books, but no single book can be considered the definitive account of the events and aftermath of May 4, l970 at Kent State University.(1)

Despite the substantial literature which exists on the Kent State shootings, misinformation and misunderstanding continue to surround the events of May 4. For example, a prominent college-level United States history book by Mary Beth Norton et al. (1994), which is also used in high school advanced placement courses,(2) contains a picture of the shootings of May 4 accompanied by the following summary of events: "In May 1970, at Kent State University in Ohio, National Guardsmen confronted student antiwar protestors with a tear gas barrage. Soon afterward, with no provocation, soldiers opened fire into a group of fleeing students. Four young people were killed, shot in the back, including two women who had been walking to class." (Norton et al., 1994, p. 732) Unfortunately, this short description contains four factual errors: (1) some degree of provocation did exist; (2) the students were not fleeing when the Guard initially opened fire; (3) only one of the four students who died, William Schroeder, was shot in the back; and (4) one female student, Sandy Schreuer, had been walking to class, but the other female, Allison Krause, had been part of the demonstration.

This article is an attempt to deal with the historical inaccuracies that surround the May 4th shootings at Kent State University by providing high school social studies teachers with a resource to which they can turn if they wish to teach about the subject or to involve students in research on the issue. Our approach is to raise and provide answers to twelve of the most frequently asked questions about May 4 at Kent State. We will also offer a list of the most important questions involving the shootings which have not yet been answered satisfactorily. Finally, we will conclude with a brief annotated bibliography for those wishing to explore the subject further.

Belgium colonists in 1916 identified Tutsis the minority of the region, them being richer in general, having cattle, thus being superior, and had it better under Belgium rule, Hutus resented this.

France supported the Hutus during the genocide and when things got bad they evacuated only the white people.

China provided the Hutus with machetes.

The US really was apathetic.

The UN backed out, they wanted to evacuate all the peacekeepers and evacuated many, they promised to send in troops but that didn't happen until after the genocide.

The genocide in Rwanda recently occurred in 1994 and about 500000 people were killed.

Most countries, while expressing "regret and sadness" did not actually do anything about the Cambodian genocide. The only party that intervened was the Communist Vietnamese army, which after having a number of border skirmishes with the Khmer Rouge, took the opportunity to evict them from Phnom Penh and end the genocide, 4 years and 1.5 Million Cambodians later.

The word you're looking for is "genocide."

Yes, genocides have happened in places such as Rwanda and Cambodia.

In the Rwandan Genocide, the Tutsis were refered to as cockroaches

In defense to the ruthless killing of the Rwandan genocide, the 14,000-man Tutsi-dominated Rwandan Patriotic Front launched an offensive against the armed forces and Interahamwe orchestrating the massacres. They attempted to drive back the Interahamwe and foil their plans, but were not able to succeed until mid-July. They defeated the 35,000-man army and the militias, drove the remnants of the army and government into Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of Congo), and took control of the capital Kigali, declaring a ceasefire. United Nations aid workers and troops arrived to maintain order and bring back basic services. A multi-ethnic government took power, led by Hutu President Pasteur Bizimunga, Hutu Prime Minister Faustin Twagiramunga, and Tutsi Vice President/Minister of Defense Major General Paul Kagame, commander of the RPF. Most other cabinet posts were given to members of the RPF.

Following the end of the genocide in July and August 1994, two million Hutu civilians fled Rwanda, joining one million already in exile. In Zaire, the destination of most refugees, sick and starving Hutu exiles were dying at an appalling rate of 2000 per day. The government encouraged them to return to the food, water and relative safety waiting for them in Rwanda, but fears spread by former government troops that Hutus would be prosecuted on return prevented many from going home. Genocide Trials did not start until the end of 1996 when many had eventually returned, but are still expected to take years to complete. In 1999, more than 120,000 citizen accused of involvement in the genocide were packed into overcrowded jails.

refer to R.J. Rummel's work at the University of Hawaii. What I can tell you is that he postulates that about 20 million people have been killed by acts of genocide from 1945-1987. This professor emeritus also says that 76 million people were killed in what he calls "democide," which is murder committed by a government of it's citizens.

It began as a war over riches and minerals People with guns were ranked above those without, simply because if they didn't listen to the people with guns they would die. As you can imagine, this created some conflict. It escalated and groups began to form. These groups often killed each other for more money and power. On more than one occasion these groups have tried taking the presidency, which is almost just as unstable. The scenario is actually technically not a genocide; because the killings are not aimed at any specific group of people. It is in fact aimed at their own people through selfish wants and desires. It has left the country in ruin and is still extremely unstable.

Pol Pot was a brutal communist dictator who seized power in Cambodia (formerly known as Kampuchea) in 1975. he became prime minister of the "new communist government" with his legion known as the Khmer Rouge in 1976. he was a vicious ruler and implemented forced labor,caused famine(starvation),and executed between 1.5 million to 2 million people in the country. at that time this number was more than 20% of the population. I'm really not sure what his name "MEANS", but his birth name is Saloth Sar.
