Genocide

Nationalist and communsts united to fight japan by Adriana Coyt Torres

The genocide happened because one group misunderstood the other. What happened after was too sad. If people had taken time to listen, then maybe this would not have happened.

In 1994, the ethnic rivalry and animosity of many years between the Tutsi and Hutus, the two main tribes of Rwanda exploded in a killing spree. The Human Rights Watch estimates that 800,000 people were killed in the hundred days between April and July of that year.

The book, "An Ordinary Man" by Paul Rusesabaggina, was the best book I have read on this subject; it makes it understandable how a "normal" society can, so easily, turn into chaos and horror. I think this book should be in every high school library. The author is the main character featured in the movie "Hotel Rwanda", it is his story.

It's your own opinion

The Armenian Genocide happened in 1915. Armenians lived in their historical homeland for more than 5000 years, had kingdoms, cities, churches and schools. In the 13-14 centuries the Turkish nomad tribes came to the region, invaded the country of Armenians. Later they created the Ottoman Empire, a part of which was Western Armenia. Armenians were the intellectual Elite of the country, they were the richest shopowners, they were poets, politicians, doctors. Armenians were rich and what is more important they were CHRISTIAN, while Turks were Muslim. And there was the "Armenian Problem", where European countries exacted benefits from Turkey by trading on the problems of the Armenian community. This made the Armenians an effective scapegoat to "show" how the European Nations always made Turkey to do their bidding. Thus, the Best explanation is that Taliat Pasha (one of the organizers) gave : If there is no Armenian, there is no Armenian Problem". Armenians as rightful owners of the land were a great threat for Turkish Tyrants.

The cause of the holocaust was that Adolf Hitler felt that what he believed in was right and that other beliefs were wrong .so he killed over 6 million people. He killed mainly Jews, homosexuals, gypsies ect...

The word most frequently used is pogrom.

That took place in Turkey.
The Armenian Genocide took place in Armenia and around Southeastern Europe killing over 60% of the Armenian population.

The dog is in the Boston massacre because the british soldiers thought the colonists were lower in rank than a dog.

In Amritsar, over 5,000 people gathered at Jallianwala Bagh.

The Ottoman Empire slaughtered between 1 and 5 million Armenians during their rule. This not only wiped out entire families and generations of Armenians, but created intense hatred between the populations.

The Holocaust could in fact happen again. Actually, Joseph Stalin caused a "Holocaust" which he called Ethnic Cleansing. Of couse nowadays we have Holocaust rememberence day during which we try to prevent any future Holocaust.
Yes it could. If what happened in Rwanda could happen in our enlightened times anything is possible. There was also Bosnia and the killing fields of Cambodia. Sadly, yes it could.

Propaganda in the Sudan genocide included dehumanizing language, false narratives about opposing ethnic groups, and the spread of misinformation through media outlets to incite fear, hatred, and violence. The government and other perpetrators used propaganda to justify their actions and mobilize support for the genocide.

The nazis killed their own citizens and those in surrounding countries - specifically those of the Jewish religion, gypsies, etc.

Capitalism; outright greed, a violation of the very tenets of religion and politics by Americans.

After World War 1, the Treaty of Versailles punished Germany by forcing them to pay for war debts to countries such as France and Great Britain. It also forced Germany to limit its military and weakened the German economy. Germany went through many hard times, and at the same time Adolf Hitler saw the perfect time to make an appeal for power in Germany. In an almost desperate attempt to relieve their troubled economy, people turned to the promises that Hitler had proposed. He disobeyed the Versailles Treaty by rearming the German military. Hitler eventually started to demand more from other countries and no one seemed to stop him. Hitler despised the Versailles Treaty and annexed Austria, which was also in violation of the treaty. Hitler began to make claims on Sudetenland, and was given to him as a way to "prevent any further demands" and to "ensure peace between countries". This shows how the treaty from the outcome of World War 1 eventually led to angst between countries and leaders and how World War 2 was brought out of these bitter feelings and harsh situations.

The Native American Indian genocide was a deliberate, calculated and insidious attempt at destroying the native peoples. It is considered to be one of the most horrific genocides known to man. It has been estimated that there were up to 25 million natives in North America before the white man came. By the 1890's there were known only to be approximately 250,000. Of course those figures cannot be truly known just by their nature and time period, but the point is the devastation percentage wise is unequaled. The white man, given their belief in their basic right to the lands and their arrogance in thinking they were superior to everyone else, systematically set to destroy the Indian. This was accomplished in many ways. First, their weapons were superior. Then there were diseases, murder of infants, children and women to erradicate the native on that level, poisoning of water sources, destruction of food sources, etc etc. The Indian also has to absorb some responsibility. They trusted these new people to live up to their words. They didn't band together until much too late. So many young abandoned the old ways and embraced alchohol. In the end, the American Indian was not totally defeated. Those who held on to their spirituality survived the ongoing war against the Indian. What happened was inevitable. The way it happened was unconscionable.

The Rwandan genocide was not really a war, since the aim of this genocide and any genocide is to exterminate a certain group of people. In the Rwandan genocide the aim was to kill all the Tutsis. Fortunately not all the Tutsis were killed in this genocide, but hundreds of thousands were and Rwanda still has to bear the scar of what happened during that horrible time to this day, so nobody won the genocide, everybody just lost.

The Armenian Genocide has had a profound effect on the Armenian psyche.

Firstly, the Turkish government's failure to recognize the genocide and to strongly advocate against it has horribly affected Turkish-Armenian Relations, leading to bare recognition the countries. This failure on the part of many countries to recognize the Armenian genocide means that, unlike the Jews, they cannot take a small bit of solace in knowing that the people who masterminded the violence have paid. Most of the leaders like Mehmed Talaat, Ismail Enver, and Ahmed Djemal were illegally assassinated by Armenians after the war without any hearing of their crimes.

Secondly, the Armenian homeland was completely stripped of Armenians save for the small part in Russia/Soviet Union at the time. Entire villages were erased, others repopulated with people from central Anatolia, and most of the surviving villages were given new Turkish-language names. Many historic Armenian churches were destroyed completely. This full-scale overwriting of Armenian history on the land has had a profound effect on Armenians, giving rise to several irredentist movements in the past. In the present most Armenians agree that the land is now too Turk-ified and Kurdish to be Armenian land anymore, but some will search for any trace of where their family once came from.

Finally, it buttressed the Armenian nationalist desires. Unfortunately no great power was willing to support Armenian nationalism after Atatürk was able to reverse the Treaty of Sèvres and remove the Kurdish and Armenian states. This prevented Armenians from having their own country until 1991. This nationalism also manifested in the Wars of Nagorno-Karabakh, in which Armenians attacked sovereign Azerbaijani territory because a large percentage of ethnic Armenians live in certain enclave. Currently, the Nagorno-Karabakh region remains under illegal Armenian Occupation.

He murdered all non-aryans :(

My improved answer is:

Adolf Hitler murdered all non-German people such as the Jews and many more...

There are many Holocaust deniers out there who try to discredit what historians claim about what happened during the Holocaust, especially about whether 6 million Jews were really killed.

However, there is overwhelming evidence, like testimonies by victims and testimonies during the Nuremberg trials, as well as Nazi documentation and photographs, and also eye witness accounts by Allied soldiers after they freed prisoners in concentration camps, which historians agree is undeniable proof that the Holocaust did take place.

Usually any claims made that the Holocaust did not really take place or that it is being exaggerated is seen as anti-Semitism and in Germany it is actually illegal to deny or question whether the Holocaust took place.

"Because it is Armenian propoganda and did not really happen!" says the initial poster of this question. There real answer is because of people like this person. Over the last century the Turkish government has done everything in its power to promote forgetting the genocide and to rational the great crime. There were no nuremberg trials which is why it was less known of and not as globally recognized as the Jewish Holocaust. Its was hidden under the cloak of war and is slowly getting the recognition it deserves (Twenty-one countries including Sweden, Argentina and Canada and forty-three states of the United States of America have recognized the Armenian Genocide, with and overwhelming majority of historians in support).

Because it was the one that had both world wars.

Joseph Stalin murdered his rivals because he feared that they were plotting against him for power in the USSR. In certain circumstances, his rivals had different ideas on Marxism and he could not handle dissent. This was even for people who had no ill feelings towards him. They believed that Lenin and Marx had opinions that seemed opposed to Stalin's. Aside from Stalin's ultra-fear complex, many murders were done to scare potential rivals into being quiet or to leave the Soviet Union. Stalin used murder to punish failure. When Hitler had taken control of Europe, and before he attacked the USSR, European Communists sought refuge in Moscow. Stalin in particular, saw German communists as failures, having failed to win elections in Germany against the Nazi's. These communists had to pay the penalty of death for their failures. He also used starvation as a method of murder. The Kulak peasants who opposed losing their lands had their livestock and grain taken from them, and they died of starvation. These "rivals" were people he did not even know, however, he saw them as a threat to the collective farm system he wanted to create.

Yes, specifically in Cambodia and Rwanda.

One of the most serious post 1945 genocides occurred in Rwanda in 1994, with about 800,000 people killed. The international community did nothing till it was over.

Gandhi didnt hear of the massacre until June. He took his actions After that. He supported the construction of two monuments in remembrance of the people that died (one of them was the well people had jumped in to try and save themselves). He then called upon for national satyagraha. This included his 'Non-Cooperation campaign'. He believed that the limited 351 British officials in India, could not manage to govern the 300, 000, 000 Indians living in India if they simply refused to cooperate. This campaign included the boycott of foreign goods, the spinning of cotton, and hartals. This worked for quite a while and for some time people thought the British were going to have to leave, but then some Indians started getting restless with the slow progress and violence started to break out. they mobbed some british officials into a flaming building till they were burnt to death. Because Gandhi's strongest moral was no-violence, he called off the campaign straight away.
hope that helped...Essy.p.s the amritsar massacre was in 1919, not 1920. There was only one memorial built to honor those who passed on.
