Genocide

PolPot ruled from 1963 to 1998

The Communist Party of the Khmer Rouges.

Pol Pot's birth name is Saloth Sar.

Peter Hall, a carpenter who had been working on the house, managed to escape the massacre and get to Fort Walla Walla to raise the alarm and get help. Also, three of the Sager children survived.

On 27 May 1990, Sindh government launched a crackdown in Hyderabad, the centre of MQM power. A shoot- on-sight curfew was imposed , and a police house-to-house search began. The muhajirs protested at this treatment and fighting broke out. In what has become known as 'the Pucca Qila massacre' 31 women and children were killed, leading to retaliations in Karachi and elsewhere and over 300 more deaths

The United States should care about honoring the suffering of people who were butchered for who they were and what they believed, especially since the United States is a country founded by people who fled the Old World specifically because of ethnic and religious persecution -- just like what the Armenian, Pontic Greek, and Assyrian people suffered in the Ottoman-led genocide.

Additionally, US Recognition of the genocide may force Turkey to become more introspective about its consistent denial of this unfathomable crime. To read more about the Turkish stance on the Armenian Genocide, please see this Related Question: Why does the Turkish government deny that a genocide took place?

Since Red China is a world power, and Cambodia is not, Mao did. but pol pot killed million of his own people

This question has two parts.

The first asks why Turks hate themselves. The Turks are quite proud of the ancestry and their heritage. Many wave the Turkish flag proudly as a symbol of their unity and prosperity. So, since Turks do not hate themselves, there is no reason to say why they would do so.

The second is the Turkish-Greek Issue. The Turkish view is that it was the Turkish Empire, the Ottomans who brought civilization back to Greece. While it is true that the Greeks did have a wonderful civilization in the 500s-200s BCE, by the 1400s, Greece was a backwater. The Byzantine civilization was crippled, Venetians controlled parts of the Greek archipelago, and pirates predominated in the eastern Mediterranean. The Ottomans brought law, order, and justice to these new territories. They also permitted the Greeks to keep their faith, which was something the Greeks would not be willing to do in return. More recently, Turks are furious about the how the Greeks launched a holy war to liberate Greece, what else would you call it when Patriarchs bless flags and soldiers to fight in the name of the Church. There were numerous violent attacks throughout the Ottoman Empire and the Greek Revolt also led to independence movements throughout the Balkans leading to the destruction of an empire which had endured for nearly three centuries. Finally, Greeks still champion the manifest-destiny type Megali Idea which would see some of the most prized Turkish territory (like Istanbul) given over to non-Turks.

Chiang Kai shek ordered the massacre.

The Malmady massacre was, according to the judgment of the Dachau War Crimes Trials a war crime committed by German troops during the Battle of the Bulge in World War II, involving the murder of prisoners of war. The German defendants received the death penalty and 10 to 20 years prison sentences. All of them were paroled, the last one about 11 years later.

On December 17, 1944, near the hamlet of Baugnez on the height half-way between the town of Malmady and Ligneuville in Belgium, elements (2 Mk IV tanks and 2 armored halftracks ) of Waffen-SS Kampfgruppe Peiper encountered about 100 men of Battery B of the American 285th Field Artillery Observation Battalion, who had just passed the Five Points Crossing at Baugnez in direction of Ligneuville. After a brief and effective shelling of their about 28 vehicles with 75 mm explosive shells, and MG 42 machine gun fire, most of the surviving Americans fled directly into nearby woods. Dozens of bodies (55 to 60 according to either American or German sources) of fallen GIs lay by the roadside. The Americans who had not fled surrendered after having returned the German fire with their remaining small arms. The captured survivors were led into a nearby pasture where shortly after about 36 other prisoners who had arrived on German vehicles were added to their number. It is clear that in no way could about 150 prisoners of war be present at the locality at any given time. Peiper and his leading armoured units then continued their advance. After between mid-January and April 1945 72 plus 12 bodies had been revovered from the site, the case against the alleged perpetrators of a war crime was investigated, and criminal proceedings took their course.

Whatever might have happened at the massacre site, the American military court failed to take into consideration that after considering that an account of all fallen and all surviving soldiers (including those who had fled) could only have left 21 American soldiers as victims of a possible war crime.

( I have left the following part of the original answer for anyone who would care to compare this with what I have written in the section above. I recommend for anyone to read "Wholesale Slaughter art Baugnez-Lez-Malmedy" by Willy Alenus on the internet, "Enquete inedite ... (in French) by Henri Rogister in HistoMag, also on the internet, and Gerd J. Gust Cuppens" Massacre á Malmedy in French and German.

A tank pulled up, and a truck shortly thereafter. A single SS officer pulled out a pistol and shot a medical officer standing in the front row, and then shot the man standing next to the medical officer. Other soldiers joined in with machine guns. It is not known why this happened; there is no record of an order by an SS officer. While the shooting of POWs was common on the Eastern front, such incidents were rarer on the Western front.

Many prisoners escaped into the nearby woods. Some 72-84 of the prisoners were killed, their bodies left on the field where they fell. An American patrol discovered the massacre that night. News of it spread quickly among Allied troops. Afterwards, the order went out: SS and Fallschirmjager were to be shot on sight.

Among the soldiers who escaped was actor Charles Durning.

American forces recaptured the site where the killings took place on January 13, 1945. The bodies were recovered on January 14 ‒ January 15, 1945. The memorial at Baugnez bears the names of the murdered soldiers.)

The genocide was planned by members of the core political elite known as the akazu, many of whom occupied positions at top levels of the national government. Perpetrators came from the ranks of the Rwandan army, the National Police (gendarmerie), government-backed militias including the Interahamwe and Impuzamugambi, and the Hutu civilian population.
The genocide took place in the context of the Rwandan Civil War, an ongoing conflict beginning in 1990 between the Hutu-led government and the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF), which was largely composed of Tutsi refugees whose families had fled to Uganda following earlier waves of Hutu violence against the Tutsi. Most of the dead were Tutsis and most of those who perpetrated the violence were Hutus. The genocide was sparked by the death of the Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, when his plane was shot down above Kigali airport on 6 April 1994.

A figure of 800,000-1,000,000 murdered is often quoted.

The Vietnamese overthrew the Khmer Rouge when they invaded Cambodia/Kampuchea in 1979.

Does your religion teach you that people from other cultures are evil? That attitude is the root of genocide.

Armenia lies in the highlands surrounding the Biblical mountains of Ararat. The original Armenian name for the country was Hayk, later Hayastan (Armenian: Հայաստան), translated as the land of Haik, and consisting of the name Haik and the suffix '-stan' (land).

The name Armenia was given to the country by the surrounding states, and it is traditionally derived from Armenak or Aram (the great-grandson of Haik's great-grandson, and another leader who is, according to Armenian tradition, the ancestor of all Armenians). In the Bronze Age, several states flourished in the area of Greater Armenia, including the Hittite Empire (at the height of its power), Mitanni (South-Western historical Armenia), and Hayasa-Azzi (1600-1200 BC). Soon after the Hayasa-Azzi were the Nairi (1400-1000 BC) and the Kingdom of Urartu (1000-600 BC), who successively established their sovereignty over the Armenian Highlands. Each of the aforementioned nations and tribes participated in the ethnogenesis of the Armenian people.[1] Yerevan, the modern capital of Armenia, was founded in 782 BC by king Argishti I.

The Iron Age kingdom of Urartu (Assyrian for Ararat) was replaced by the Orontid dynasty. Following Persian and Macedonian rule, the Artaxiad dynasty from 190 BC gave rise to the Kingdom of Armenia which rose to the peak of its influence under Tigranes II before falling under Roman rule.

In 301, Arsacid Armenia was the first sovereign nation to accept Christianity as a state religion. The Armenians later fell under Byzantine, Persian, and Islamic hegemony, but reinstated their independence with the Bagratuni Dynasty kingdom of Armenia. After the fall of the kingdom in 1045, and the subsequent Seljuk conquest of Armenia in 1064, the Armenians established a kingdom in Cilicia, where they prolonged their sovereignty to 1375.

Greater Armenia was later divided between the Ottoman Empire and Russia. Armenians then suffered in the genocide that was inflicted on them by the Ottomans. As a result, 1.5 million Armenians were murdered and a large number were dispersed throughout the world via Syria and Lebanon. Armenia, from then on corresponding to much of Eastern Armenia, once again gained independence in 1918, with the establishment of the Democratic Republic of Armenia, and then in 1991, with the Republic of Armenia.

Yes. The Cambodian genocide ended in 1979 when the Vietnamese Army invaded Cambodia and overthrew Pol Pot's government.

Pol Pot described pre revolutionary Cambodia as consisting of peasants and workers, bourgeoisie, capitalists and feudalists. After the revolution, it consisted of workers, peasants and all other Kampuchean working people. No concessions were made for landlords and bourgeoisie that were sympathetic to the movement, as had been done during the Chinese revolution. The Middle class or people living in urban areas were reclassified as "new people", and defined as those who were unsympathetic to Democratic Kampuchea, were moved constantly and subjected to the hardest work.

No, I'm 100% sure that it isn't going.

The Young Turks were responsible for the Assyrian Genocide of 1915-1917. The Islamic State (ISIL) is a responsible for the current (2015) Assyrian Genocide.

Yes, genocide is a noun, a singular, common, abstract noun.

Pol Pot was a dictator who had a grandiose vision of resurrecting the Angkorian Empire of 800 years ago. Unfortunately his dream became the nightmare of millions of Cambodians who were forced to leave the cities and work on massive collective farms. Failure and dissidence were met with violence. This led Pol Pot to engineer a mass slaughter of over 12% of the Cambodian population.
