Genocide

Often people refer to the mass death of Native Americans within 50 years of European arrival as a genocide. While there was certainly a large percenatage of deaths (in some places as high as ninety percent), there was not a clear motive to kill the Native Americans and most succumbed to disease that the colonizers did not intend to spread.

The word genocide was made when there was a "genocide", Genocide is like a war but MUCH MUCH worse. Its when a nationality kills EVERY person from another nationality. The first genocide was 1915-1918. The Turkish killed 1,500, 000 Armenians when the Armenians were innocent. It was the only genocide in history. Some Armenians survived, like my great grandparents. Lets hope nothing bad to the Armenians. Thanks for reading!

Almost 7 years. From April 1915 to beginning of 1922

A clash between white farmers and an all-black militia

It of course depends on how one defines the word 'holocaust', if you look it up online you'll most likely find this definition ''great destruction or loss of life or the source of such destruction, esp fire''. Many other holocausts have happened other than The Holocaust, for example, the mass murders in Cambodia, Vietnam, Rwanda, USSR, Uganda, Japan(atomic holocaust) and many, many others. The Holocaust in Germany and Poland, under the rule of Adolf Hitler was nothing special nor much different when you look at it closely, and investigate the evidence yourself.

Anti- Laotian & Vietnamese racism couples with a wish to return to the Angkor, the empire once centred in Khmer with himself as the centre piece and the peasants worlking with a version of Theravada biddhism holding the whole thing together, was a dogma based system of extermination of 2 million people (he also had some ideas on racial purity though they were secondary, murdering criplled, lame, anyone he thought was an intellectual because they wouldn't be a good worker and also, for some reason, homosexuals)

No. The number of casualties was very high, but that doesn't make World War 1 genocide.

genocide has been taking place all over the world since as early as 6oo B.C. when the Babylonians conquered Jerusalem and razing the Great Temple to the ground or maybe in 70 A.D. when the Roman emperor Titus slaughtered the 600,000 Jews that were living in Jerusalem, and only the Jews.

Being the first Genocide in modern history and in the 20th century the Armenian Genocide represents a turning point in history. It was the first time since 146 BC, that the world witnessed a mass massacre planned to abolish a complete race. It didn't catch enough attention at that time and was pretty much forgotten until mass massacres such as the Holocaust and the massacres in Rwanda. So it is very important to acknowledge the Armenian Genocide in order to prevent barbarism against mankind.

The Young Turks, the political group in power of the Ottoman Empire in 1915, had originally agreed to allow the Armenians to have much more equal rights than they did before under the rule of the sultan, Abdul Hamid. However, as they hoped to see the Ottoman Empire return to their former glory, they wanted to expand eastward. However, the eastern section held most of the Armenian population. They would have to move them out of the way so they could expand.

When WWI broke out, many Turks began growing suspicious of the Armenians forming a "secret alliance" with the Russians, the country they happened to be fighting. They realized that this was an opportunity to solve "the Armenian question," as the rest of the world would understand their dire measures they had to take to bring back the power of their Empire. They confiscated any weapon any Armenian owned, and began the Armenian Genocide.

A race murderer

A genocide is when a person or a group of people try to exterminate a whole race or culture. The Hutu's were trying to extermanate the Tutsi's because of their race. That's what made it a genocide.

Between April and June 1994 for only 100 days appx. 800,000 Rwandans were killed. The two ethnic groups, the Hutus and the Tutsis were involved in the mass genocide. The Hutu extremists attempted to carry out their plan to wipe out the entire Tutsi population.Basically among the killed were : Any Hutu moderate, suspected Tutsi, and Tutsi was systematically murdered. These killings took place in homes and even while Tutsis tried to flee.

Surviving the Pol Pot genocide was next to impossible. Once a group was rounded none of them was ever released. After torture and interrogation, sometimes stretching over several months, all of these men, women and children were brutally put to death. The Khmer Rouge in retreat had some help from American relief agencies - 20,000 to 40,000 guerrillas who reached Thailand received food aid -and the West also ensured that the Khmer Rouge (rather than the Vietnam-backed communist government) held on to Cambodia's seat in the United Nations: the Cold War continued to dictate what allegiances and priorities were made.

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.

In 100 days ,an estimated 800,000 people were killed in the Rwanda genocide.

The Turkish have mixed emotions about the Armenian Genocide and will never admit to it being a genocide because in their view, it was not. They see the term genocide meaning "an active and intentional extermination of another people" similar to the situation in the Holocaust and in Rwanda. The Armenian Genocide was a forced exodus with all of the brutality of the Trail of Tears in the United States or the Attack of Smyrna and Thrace and the Greco-Turkish Wars of the Early 1900s. Most Turks feel badly over the Armenian deaths, but this is often-times covered over by the anger and resentment over Armenia defining its foreign policy by making other nations accept only its idea of what happened to them and not dealing with a "balanced inquiry". (Whether such an inquiry is warranted objectively, is questionable.)

The Sharpeville Massacre, also known as the Sharpeville shootings, occurred on 21 March 1960, when South African police opened fire on a crowd of black protesters, killing 69 people. The confrontation occurred in the township of Sharpeville, in what is now Gauteng province.

He targeted basically anyone he thought who might ever be a threat to him, politically or otherwise. He didn't do the targeting himself, apart from people directly around him - which included practically everyone who had been in any way prominent at the start of the Communist revolution. Beria, chief of the Secret Police supplied him with long lists of 'unreliable' people on which Stalin simply wrote "Kill them all".

Local party leaders all over the USSR were also supposed to earmark 'enemies of the Revolution' in their provinces for liquidation. Any lack of zeal on their part would make them suspect themselves, so everyone came up with long lists of mostly innocent people, plus some personal enemies and competitors of the local Governors. In most cases it was enough to be formerly middle class or a 'kulak', a prosperous farmer to get on the lists.

There are many reasons why. First , It happened because Governor James Stirling had a colony called The Swan Settlement and Pinjarra more fertile land than the one in Swan Settlement. Also he wanted revenge of the death of Nesbitt which was killed by one of the Aborigines from the Pinjarra Tribe ( Binjareb Tribe)

It could be someone important to someone else in another part of the world.

First off, the genocide is not over, it is still going on, mainly in the region of Darfur. Ever since Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, armed the Janjaweed (Arab militias) in 2003, the violence has escalated, since the government can not control these rampaging murderers and rapists. The Janjaweed cooperates with the government in the complete and utter destruction of villages, more often than not those of African farmers. Since Sudan has often been plagued by droughts that led to famine, the country desperately needs every ounce of food it can get. The murder and destruction does nothing to help this. Also, the refugees forced to flee their homes to live in camps often collect firewood in order to make money and to survive, but due to frequent Janjaweed attacks, many of them have been raped repeatedly. The men don't dare leave the camp, for fear of being murdered or castrated. Economically speaking, the genocide is doing absolutely nothing good for the country, and it will continue to harm, it so long as countries like the USA. do nothing to help the victims.

It was the culmination, largely influenced by the Belqen colonization which favored the Tutsi minority group because of their more "European" appearance, of longstanding ethnic competition and tensions between the minority Tutsi, who had controlled power for centuries, and the majority Hutu peoples, who had come to power in the rebellion of 1959-1962 and overthrown the Tutsi monarchy.
