Why is the holocaust considered genocide?
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.
What is the most recent genocide?

The munich massacre happened at 4 30 in the morning, on September 5 during the 1972 Olympic Games. Entering a hotel in which Israeli athletes were staying, 8 Palestinian terrorists emerged to the door of the athletes, making noise a 135 kg referee heard was going on and threw his body weight against the door, allowing numerous athletes and assistants to escape. Moments later the Palestinians broke in on a rampage. They killed two members of the Olympic team and held nine others hostage. The situation ended with a grousome gunfight ending with 5 of the terrorists and all of the hostages dead!
blah blah blah..
Israeli people were killed for the incentive of letting 234 Israeli prisoners and 2 German prisoners by 9 a.m.

What was the American 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!

What other Holocausts have occurred since World War 2?
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.
How did the Armenian Genocide affect the world?
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.
What is the purpose of Armenian genocide?
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 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.
