What was the date of the Goliad Massacre?
The Battle of Goliad was the second skirmish of the Texas Revolution. In the early-morning hours of October 10, 1835, rebellious Texas settlers attacked the Mexican Army soldiers garrisoned at Presidio La Bahía, a fort near the Mexican Texas settlement of Goliad. La Bahía lay halfway between the only other large garrison of Mexican soldiers (at San Antonio de Béxar) and the major Texas port of Copano.
In September, Texians began plotting to kidnap Mexican General Martín Perfecto de Cos, who was en route to Goliad to attempt to quell the unrest in Texas. The plan was initially dismissed by the central committee coordinating the rebellion. However, within days of the Texian victory at the Battle of Gonzales, Captain George Collingsworth and members of the Texian militia in Matagorda began marching towards Goliad. The Texians soon learned that Cos and his men had already departed for San Antonio de Béxar but continued their march.
The garrison at La Bahía was understaffed and could not mount an effective defense of the fort's perimeter. Using axes borrowed from townspeople, Texians were able to chop through a door and enter the complex before the bulk of the soldiers were aware of their presence. After a 30-minute battle, the Mexican garrison, under Colonel Juan López Sandoval, surrendered. One Mexican soldier had been killed and three others wounded, while only one Texian had been injured. The majority of the Mexican soldiers were instructed to leave Texas, and the Texians confiscated $10,000 worth of provisions and several cannons, which they soon transported to the Texian Army for use in the Siege of Béxar. The victory isolated Cos's men in Béxar from the coast, forcing them to rely on a long overland march to request or receive reinforcements or supplies.

What was Hitler's program of genocide?
The actual campaign is usually called the Holocaust.
_____
There are many questions wrapped up in this. How did Hitler and the Germans come to hate the presence of Jews? How could they deceive themselves on the beliefs, ideals and history of Jews? How did Hitler proceed to exterminate them? His plan is stated in his autobiography, Mein Kampf. He was himself one-quarter Jewish, consulted a revered Jewish family doctor and was in physical appearance far from the model Aryan type. As a young man, he failed to gain admittance to art school, and blamed intriguing, including by Jews, against him. Like many Germans, he also sought a scapegoat for Germany's defeat in the First World War. A widely read piece of forgery presented the Jews as members of a worldwide conspiracy to dominate the world. This combination of factors fed a dangerously disturbed mind.
Hatred of Jews, jealousy and resentment against Jewish success, and opportunistic looting of Jewish property has recurred throughout European history. England in the 13th century committed the first European pogrom against them. Nazi Germany was the worst but not the last instance of the phobia against Jews. The German aim to cleanse their country's supposed racial purity extended to proscription of other races, like gypsies and Slavs, and to the mentally handicapped. It was based on ignorance. Hitler was atheistic but the church leaders were mostly tolerant of his antics, since the Catholic Church had not overthrown the hints in the Bible that Jews should forever bear responsibility for the death of Jesus. Of course, this is a false, wicked and indeed absurd, doctrine.
Was the Holocaust the first genocide?
To organize the debate those opinions that hold that the Holocaust was a genocide will be shown first and those that hold that it was not will be shown second. This order has no bearing on the correctness of any of the views.
PART 1: YES - It was a genocide or genocides
Answer 1
Of course the Holocaust is considered genocide! From 1941 onwards the Nazis tried to kill every Jew that they could find. The fact that others, in addition to the main taget were included, doesn't alter the fact. What more, the word genocide was specifically created in 1944 to describe what the Nazis were doing to the Jews.
Answer 2
See Expert Answers.
PART 2: NO - It was not a genocide or genocides
Answer 1
No because Hitler wanted to eliminate the Jews, Gypsies, and people suffering from mental or physical disorders or handicaps, and the definition of Genocide is the mass killing of a certain race or ethnicity.
Answer 2
Of course the Holocaust is not considered genocide! Though the Jews that the Nazis could find were made up of a dozen different kinds of Jews, there was no possibility or intention to eliminate the entire group as there were parts of those groups in countries that the Nazis could not extradite them from. Though the word genocide was created to describe what the Nazis did, language and that word has evolved since then.
This issue and many others in relation to the Holocaust are a matter of personal opinion, though one school may be adamant that one interpretation is accurate, another school may be equally convinced of the opposite.

Can genocide in the US happen again?
"we have had masacres and school shootings why not genocide? I don't think the system can let something get that far." - Words of a FAILURE
The system has no part and will never have a part in a genocide.... If the people of the united states are angry enough to go on a killing spree of a certain people. Then why would the government be able to stop them. As soon as a certain people get enraged enough to kill a group. The government's army will go with the people and take over the US governemnt.

What role did the belgians play in the rwandan genocide?
In the century before European colonialism, the Tutsi, a nomadic cattle-herding people, moved into Rwanda and neighboring regions. The Tutsi took control of the area from the Hutu, who had centuries before taken it from the Twa (pygmies). The Hutu were primarily subsistence farmers and the Tutsi were able to establish themselves as dominant over the Hutu.
During World War I, Belgian troops from the Congo routed Germans controlling Ruanda-Urundi. Belgium took control of the region. After the end of the war the League of Nations confirmed Belgium's right to the territory.
The Belgians left intact and in fact reinforced the social order in the country. They issued racial identity cards. Hutu were relegated to farming and manual labor while the Tutsi were given authority and rights of aristocracy.
When independence came in 1962, the Hutu people were very tired of being dominated and treated as second class citizens in their own country. However, they never had the political strength to change the situation. Hutu Power and other underground organizations attempted to build strength to rebel but were repressed. A sudden, chaotic, and horribly destructive rebellion finally occurred in 1994. Hutu death squads targeted Tutsi leaders and their families and eventually slaughtered whole villages. Tutsi revenge squads attacked Hutu farms and towns. Because Rwanda is deep inside Africa and because it has no compelling national treasure (oil or minerals), western countries had little incentive to step in to stop the violence. The level of violence quickly exceeded anything that western armies could deliver to stop it, and no one wanted to risk whole airborne divisions stepping in to a situation they did not fully understand.

Who started the rwandan genicide?
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.
