Genocide

More commonly called the Armenian Genocide of the Armenians, 1.5 to 2 million Armenians were killed in Turkey during and just after World War 1. Most of the world considers it to have been a genocide but the modern Turkish government insists the deaths were the result of widespread poverty and disruption at the end of the war and not a targeted killing of Armenians.

The best known are in chronological order:

1. Herero War, German Southwest Africa, (1904-07): 75 000, Imperial Germany war against natives.

2. The Armenian Genocide by the Ottoman Empire (1915-1917). This genocide is vehemently denied by the Turkish government

3. The Nazi genocide of the Jews (1941), often referred to as the Holocaust

4. The massacre of the Tutsis by Hutus in Rwanda in 1994.

5. Various leaders such as Stalin, Mao, Idi Amin, NOrth Korea, Romania, and other states have also done this.

Why is this question in African-American History? What is it now? Have the Turks massacred African-Americans too? I get so tired of you people.

hi, im a different person and im actually going to answer your question, im pretty sure it was the Armenians. some people deny that but that's what i learned.

The real one that you won't hear is the Europeans genocide of over 100 million Natives, but it occurred over a long period of time. Here are the 3 largest genocides from 1900-2000:

Mao Tse-Tung (China, 1958-61 and 1966-69, Tibet 1949-50) - 49 to 78 million

Josef Stalin (USSR, 1932-39) - 23 million (the purges plus Ukraine's famine)

Adolf Hitler (Germany, 1939-1945) - 11 to 17 million (concentration camps with Jews, homosexuals, Gypsies, Soviet POW's, and in some cases other innocent German civilians)

Dayton agreement.

Sand Creek, November of 1864 was the sight of a massacre. Colonel Chivington, unwilling to take prisoners, opened fire on Black Kettle's tribe who were peaceably flying a white flag. The tensions had begun regarding land and mining rights, and ended in an all out massacre.

"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.

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.

Massacre is called mass killing.

For committing a genocide, one may no even have to kill any one.

Genocide may include the following points present in this article given below ;

It determines whether the United Nations can use force to stop it.

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.

There have been may instances of genocide happening over the span of human history. You have not made it clear about which you want information.

In Rwanda.

On the surface, life in Rwanda today seems to be on the up. Mobiles, internet cafes, new construction and a veneer of calm make it appear one of the calmest African countries.

The Khmer Rouge regime was toppled by the Vietnamese invasion. Funny how people keep using Pol Pot as an example of how bad communism is, yet it also took another communist country to put an end to the slaughter. Western nations did nothing about it, shamefully.

Acc to UN, Basic world media, there is no established GENOCIDE in Tibet (at least with number of deaths). No comparison with Rwanda, Armenia, Bangladesh or even Darfur. Yes, displacement and forced migration is there, including Dalai Lama fled to India.

none, there is no prove of physical genocide in tibet. But there were some culture genocide during the culture revolution in the 60s and 70s, (culture genocide is the attempt to abolish old tibetan practices) however Tibetans are free to practice there religion after death of Mao and the end of culture revolution. However the culture revolution wasnt aimed at tibetan culture.

The Holocaust was a number of distinct genocides operating in parallel. The definition of a genocide is the intentional extermination of a certain racial, ethnic, religious, physically different, or sexually identified group based on their status in that group. The Holocaust has that in spades. Jews, Romani, homosexuals, handicapped, etc. individuals were targeted precisely because of their being in one group or another. Further to the point, the word genocide was coined precisely to discuss the particular crimes committed in the Holocaust.

For killings based purely on race - presumably the Holocaust, followed by the Armenian Massacres of 1915 (last of several purges).

Numerically, the Gulag and other deliberate Soviet slaughter would dwarf both of these.

The genocide in Cambodia claimed about 1.7 million persons.

Pol Pot did affect the world through his racist sentiments. As a leader, he helped the spread of slave trade especially in areas where he had jurisdictions.
