Genocide

During the war in Bosnia there were camps where Albanian men and women were separated and all of them starved. The women were raped daily by 30 soldiers. When they were too far gone in their pregnancies they were let out. A sure way to kill a society and when this became known, that they had used rapes as a weapon, it was finally declared a warcrime in the war tribunal in Haag. So in a way it have already happened because the world didn't go in. Men from a camp testified that they had managed to put a radio together and hear the president deny there was a camp there.

About 800 000 people.

Read the passage below from Barack Obama's 2013 speech at the Buchenwald Concentration Camp. What evidence does this excerpt provide to support the conclusion that Nazis pursued a policy of genocide toward Jews during World War

It is not very likely becauseof modern day communication and technology.

I don't see that 'communciations and technology' make another holocaust more or less likely. The genocide in Rwanda in 1994 was carried mainly with the use of machettes, for example (about 800,000 Tutsis were killed in 3 months). The rest of the world didn't want to do know about it - till it was over.

Rwanda, while under Dutch control, was an established colonial state. A minority group, the "Tutsis", were given special status and privileges over the majority ethnic group, the "Hutus", by the Dutch colonial powers in exchange for collaboration. Many Tutsis abused their position and repressed the Hutus. After Rwanda gained independence, the Hutu government began a program to oppress the Tutsis, some of whom began a rebellion against the Hutus. After the moderate vice-president of Rwanda was killed by the Rebels, radical Hutus incited a massive country-wide mob to begin the ethnic cleansing of the Tutsis. This is known as the "Rwandan Genocide", which eventually prompted UN intervention, although not until the end of the genocide.

The Allies and the Underground Resistance tried to help thousands of Jews escape from occupied countries and get relocated elsewhere. The majority of the Jews relocated to the United States and Israel. Once the war was over the Jews were freed from the concentration camps and cared for. The survivors were eventually relocated. The dead ones were properly buried. The Allied Forces made the Germans bury the Jews.

The Bosnian Genocide refers to either genocide at Srebrenica and Zepa and both of those were perpetrated by Bosnian Serbs in the Army of Republika Srpska led by General Ratko Mladic.

The Holocaust was an event in which approximately 6 million Jews were killed, along with substantial numbers of other people whom the Nazis disliked (communists, homosexuals, gypsies, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc.).

The killing of about 6 million Jews.

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.

Juvénal Habyarimana was a dictatorial leader of the Republic of Rwanda who death in 1994 sparked the genocide. Cyprien Ntaryamira, President of Burundi also died in the plane crash.

The Japanese and Chinese were involved in the Nanking Massacre of 1937. The imperial Japanese army murdered and raped Chinese civilians and unarmed combatants.

One needs to distinguish between perpetrators and victims.

The United States did not directly respond. this was in l9l5 when World War I ( then styled the European War) was in progress. US was not in the fight until l9l7, and public opinion was mostly anti-war. Therefore the Armenian massacre received little media ( at the time almost entirely newspaper) attention, events in European War such as various battles land, and sea, yes, but Armenia was a backwater compared to say, the Somme or Vimy or the French theatre of operations in general.

The infamous St. Bartholomew's Day Massacre was held in August 24, 1572 in France. The glorious Reformation, begun in Germany on October 31, 1517 and had spread to France over 400 years ago and began one of the most horrifying holocausts in history. The descendants of the survivors that reached America were determined that this tragedy should not occur here. They gave us the First and Second Amendments to the Constitution. They knew that freedom of religion and an armed citizenry go hand in hand.

Genocides are one of the most difficult things to prevent. By the time the outside world knows about one, it has gone for weeks, months or years. More than six decades after the Holocaust, the horrors of Bosnia, Rwanda, and Darfur are sobering reminders that preventing future genocides and mass atrocities remains an enormous challenge. Some persons think that genocide is not the inevitable result of ancient hatreds or irrational leaders. Perpetrators of genocide and mass atrocities cannot succeed without the support of other governments and corporations; so preventing mass atrocities requires political will.

It ended in 1917, but there were further massacres of Armenians by the Turks in 1922.

Germany was a mess after World War 1, so Hitler used this to unite the people against a "common enemy", the Jews. Why the Holocaust was so effective? most people didn't even know about it. They were told they were simply rounding the Jews up and sending them to prison camps, however, the typical German citizen would of figured these prison camps to be just like they sound, not death camps, so of course they took up arms to help. Propaganda is a dangerous weapon my friend.

On March 16, 1968, My Lai Massacre, Charlie Company, 11th Brigade, is on a "search and destroy" mission in the hamlet of My Lai. Something goes horribly wrong, resulting in violent death for hundreds of unarmed civilians, including women, children, and the elderly. After one and a half years, the officer at My Lai, Lt. William Calley, is brought up on murder charges. News of atrocities at My Lai doesn't reach public media until November 1969. In March 1971, Calley is convicted and sentenced to life; he is paroled in September 1975 after serving three and a half years.

Genocide really demoralizes a society. In most cases a whole generation is usually cut off. The people who suffer more are usually children and women.

They killed of homosexuals because Hitler wanted as many people in the Third Reich as possible. So homosexuals couldn't produce children. However Hitler did allow lesbianism because he thought that no woman can resist the 'attention' of a healthy Aryan, a blond haired, blue eyed full blooded European.

i think they showed them how to make crops and then realized that the population was being wiped out by new desises and retaliated

Coniston massacre was one of the last organized killing of Aborigine Australians in 1928. It was carried out to seek revenge for the killing of a dingo hunter Fredrick Brooks. In the killing spree 31 native Australians were killed. Subsequent trial and injustice led to a broader inquiry and led to seizure of such acts in Australia.

For various reasons,

In 1689 the "Glorious Revolution" had replaced James the 7th (and 2nd) on the Scottish,English and Irish Thrones by William of Orange who was the head of the Dutch republic. This was a fairly bloodless episode in England since the Protestant William was prefered to the Catholic James but in Ireland the mostly Catholic population supported James and in Scotland the again mostly Catholic Highlands also rose to defend the King, it's important to note that the Scots lowlands were much more in favour of William. This lead to various battles and events running on in Northern Ireland until the present day. However for our purposes by 1692 the minor civil war was over and James had fled to France, William then offered a pardon to those Highland Clans and Families which had fought for James and promised no action against them if they would come to a Magistrate (a judge and government rep) and swear loyalty to the (new) King before Jan 1st 1692.

Alastair Maclain the Chief of the Glencoe branch of the Clan McDonald left it to the last minute to go and make his oath. MacIain had been waiting for permission from King James to make the oath, this took a long time to arrive and for the news that James had granted it to be passed around. Once he decided to make the oath he then struggled to find a magistrate or officer to take it in front of resulting in him being 3 days late doing it.

Despite this he returned home thinking that he and his clan would be fine. However the Lowland Scots government and the old clan rivalries combined and using the excuse of his late oath the massacre was ordered, partly as an example to others but mostly to settle old scores.
