Genocide

When Dr. Marcus Whitman and Narcissa Prentiss Whitman set out to Oregon territory for a mission for the American Missionary Board, the Cayuse natives attack them and many other white settlers and missionaries. However, the settlers brought measles with them, and whenever Dr. Whitman gave medicine to the natives, they fell ill and died.

Genocide

Juvénal Habyarimana was a dictatorial leader of the Republic of Rwanda who death in 1994 sparked the genocide. Cyprien Ntaryamira, President of Burundi also died in the plane crash.

The Cambodian genocide is not a proper genocide, but rather a democide, where the government kills citizens irrespective of their race, religion, or other defining aspect. However, since the democide resulated from the creation of massive rice paddies and unrealistic quotas, the first to die en masse were usually educated people from the cities. Additionally, the political dissidents who opposed this plan were also educated. Therefore the educated, city elites were most devastatingly hit as a group, but it was not "intended" that way. hundreds of thousands of very poor Cambodians also were tortured and murdered. Also, Khmer (the dominant ethnic group in Cambodia) were just as often targeted (per capita) as ethnic minorities.

There were certainly many Rwandans who disagreed with what the Hutus did, and they wanted to oppose it, but it would have meant sacrificing their own lives in trying to stop a genocide which could not be stopped. People who think such a genocide would not be allowed in their own country should take a close look at the Rawandan massacres, and ask themselves what they would have done differently.

He was famous for killing over two million people. By starting collective farms.

Politique potentielle. He was given that nickname by the Chinese authorities.

However his real name was Saloth Sar.

1. Massive use of mustard gas in the war against Abyssinia (1936).

2. Ill treatment of POWs.

Only about 900,000 Armenians survived the Armenian Genocide.

The Nazis had to reatreat in 1969. Put Nazi leaders on trial in U.S. federal court. A

Genocide comes from ancient times. To the modern persons this perception largely stems from the terrible events which took place during World War Two. The word itself was first coined in 1944 CE by the Polish writer Raphael Lemkin who constructed the word by combining 'geno-', from the Greek word for race or tribe, with '-cide', from the Latin word for killing.

well there is always the animal genocide that occurs everyday.

Well, some think that the genocide in Rwanda is still happening though down in their hearts/thoughts it is. i am saying that genocide in Rwanda is not happening... though its kind of confusing but it's not. :)

The Bosnian Conflict was an international war that resulted from the breakup of Yugoslavia. The countries involved were the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Republika Srpska, FR Yugoslavia and AP Western Bosnia.

some non-examples is the US. they would never whipe out and entire unit of lets say religious groups if they are protesting peacfully. but if not peacfully, thats another story

It wasn't solved, it was reversed. When the genocide ended in Rwanda, the Hutu perpators fled into the eastern Congolese provinces of Ituri, South Kivu, and North Kivu. Then Tootsie militants followed them and now they are simply adding to the blood shed in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. To learn more go to the archives at http://africaignored.blogspot.com/

Ultimately, yes. The oppression of the Rwandan people by European imperialists began a cycle of violence perpetuated by those in power. Europeans put Tutsis in charge, even though they were a minority, and Europeans and Tutsis together abused the Hutu majority (and the Twas, another minority). The angry Hutu majority (made angry by European favoritism) revolted against the Tutsis in power. To get revenge and to keep their power, the Hutus oppressed the Tutsis, just as they had been oppressed by the European imperialists' Tutsi puppets. To profit from the Rwandan people's exploitation, Europeans had long ago made a Rwandan economy based on tea and a few other goods that all began to do poorly in international markets in the 1960s. To distract people from the poor economy, the Hutu government began to use the Tutsis as scapegoats for all Rwanda's problems, going so far as to condone the murder of all Tutsis, setting the stage for subsequent events.

• The exact number of people who died (either from torture, execution or starvation is unknown), but estimates range from 200,000 to two million (out of a population of 8,000,000 at the time). The accepted estimates are around one million.

There was no genocide in Palestine. This is hyperbole.

As for the amount of Palestinians (both militants and civilians) that have been killed by Israelis (in uniform or not), the number is probably close to 16,000 individuals. However, when you realize that the total Palestinian population is 4,000,000+ people (of which 1.5 million live peacefully in Israel), it becomes clear that there is no genocide.

RAWANDA WAS A BELGIAN COLONY. WHILE UNDER THE BEGIUMS THE POWER WAS GIVEN TO THE LIGHTER SKINNED NEGRO,S AND THE DARKER PEOPLE WERE OPPRESSED.I CANNOT REMEMBER THE NAME OF THE 2 GROUPS. FINALLY WHEN THE BEGIUMS GAVE RAWANDA INDEPENDANCE THE DARKER COLORED PEOPLE BEGAN SLAUGHTERING THE LIGHTER COLORED PEOPLE.

Most countries were quite aware that the Cambodian democide was going on; they simply did not care to intervene. The US justified its non-intervention by citing exhaustion after the Vietnam War. Ultimately, it was Vietnam that invaded Cambodia and overthrew Pol Pot, ending the Cambodian democide.

well i can't answer this question for you because i'm looking for the answer to that same questions...

I clicked this thinking someone had already answered this but no.

I hope you know if you're reading this that is was actually kinda pointless reading it but um yea....BYE!

Depending what you mean types but there are a number of avenues for achieving genocide and categories according to Raphael Lemkin (who coined the word genocide). The main ones are: * Political * Social * Cultural * Economic * Biological * Physical: * ** Endangering Health ** Mass Killing * Religious * Moral Other than that there is Autogenocide. cultural genocide which fits in with above list. Ethnocide, Linguicide (death of a language), cultural genocide.

Allowed by whom is the question.

Unfortunately, there is no real system to make sure that countries act in the best interests of all of their citizens. Killing Jews and other minorities was a common safety-valve mechanism throughout history of various rulers who allowed their people to vent their frustrations by killing the minorities who were supposedly causing problems. In most cases, the people are too stupid or too enraged to realize that it is the government's inefficiences and inequalities that are causing their ills.

It was only in the modern era that the idea that a citizen of any state is endowed with Rights to which he can appeal beyond the ability of the government to endorse or retract. It is only in this period, in those countries that believe that every human is truly endowed with equal rights (as opposed to just saying that), that the killing of Jews has been prohibited.
