Genocide

The period of Nazi rule was characterized by rapidly intensifying radicalization. This may have been partly a result of Hitler's style of government: in many areas of policy he tended to let his subordinates guess what he wanted, and of course they competed to outdo one another. In particular the 'terror lobby' round Himmler and Heydrich became a major power within Germany, second only to the armed forces.

The Nazis' Jewish policy was, it seems, not very carefully thought out. In 1933-39, the Jews in Germany were very largely expelled from society and reduced to a position where they were unable to earn a living and unable to contribute much to society.

The Nazi invasion of Poland added large numbers to the Nazis' self-inflicted Jewish problem ... Heydrich ordered the occupation forces to move the Jewish population into ghettos situated near railway stations. Largely isolated in ghettos, most Jews in Poland were unable to contribute much to the economy.

At this stage it seems that the Nazi regime was still thinking of a 'territorial solution', that is dumping the Jews in Madagascar or (after the expected victory over the Soviet Union) east of the Urals.

Exactly what prompted the decision to commit genocide is not altogether clear. It may have been the realization that there was to be no quick victory over the Soviet Union or it may have been built into the wider campaign against "Jewish Bolshevism".

the darfur genocide is occurring in the western region of the country of Sudan along the border with chad.

It was the Pol Pot goverment as he turned into a extremist Darwinian, he took the "Survival of the fittest" motto to heart as Hitler and Stalin did. 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.

he only country or region in Africa where genocide is still going on is Darfur, Sudan. Rwanda had there's in 1994 and has since stopped, so I don't know where you are getting your sources from. No other African country is going through genocide except Sudan, particularly Dar-Fur but if you mean civil war then you can include Sudan, and add countries like Somalia, democratic republic of Congo, Burundi, but that's it. When it comes to genocide though only one country fits into that, so there is no wide spread genocide going on in all countries in Africa.

No.

Genocide

While the technical term is genocide, it is also sometimes referred to as "ethnic cleansing" when a group of people (usually rebels), and sometimes even that country's government, kills groups of people simply because of their race, origin, nationality, etc., in order to take over a certain area.

The contry of Rwanda Africa in 1994. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/africa/1288230.stm "Between April and June 1994, an estimated 800,000 Rwandans were killed in the space of 100 days."

Idi Amin committed mass killing against all people he considered ethnically, politically, and economically subversive. The total number killed is thought to be between 100,000 and 500,000.

Although in modern terms we could consider the Conquering of the North American continant as a genocide, it was not considered such by men of those times. They viewed it as a war like any other, with no intention of destroying an entire race. But it could be argued that the "Genocide" began around 1516 A.D. with the arrival of the first Conquistadors from Spain.

The Armenians and the Turks.

----

What is known as Armenian genocide is skirmishes between Turkish and Armenian villages which was started by French and Russian support. In both sides villages burnt, women raped and slaughtered. Turks got pictures, Armenians got pictures. Wikipedia shows Armenian pictures only.

which isn't true, because my great grandmother was in it and she even survived it. it was planned and organized by the Turks ONLY, and had little help from the Germans

There was no Holocaust in World War I.

In World War II, the Nazis cold-bloodedly and quite efficiently murdered more than 6 million Jews and a like number of people from other ethnic groups they hated, including Roma (Gypsies), Slavs, and homosexuals. They were burned in gas chambers and any other ways the German killers felt was good for them at the time.

AND IT WAS SAD!!

You can start by doing something to raise money and awareness. If ur a student starting a fundraiser is easy and there are plenty of organizations around the war dedicated to stopping genocides. U can visit some of thoses to get a start.

It was the first victory for the Mexicans.

He didn't invade any country. With backing from the PRC (China), he overthrew the government of Cambodia. He was later ousted by an invasion by the Vietnamese.

In fact, very few of those murdered were shot. This was a situation where low-tech methods of killing were used; the most common weapon was the machete. They purchased thousands of machetes very cheaply from China. Another common weapon was a club studded with spikes/nails. Regardless of the "low-tech" nature of the genocide, it was incredibly lethal with a daily average of 10,000 dead.

To name like... I dunno ten really horrible ones;

1) Bengal Famine of 1943, 3 million people died from starvation and malnutrition due to man made famine. British army stored all grains in anticipation of Japanese invasion and exported food to allied forces in Middle east and Europe while local population starved.

2)...the Holocaust, death camps that killed millions upon millions of innocent human beings.

3) Holodomor, the WW2 era Ukrainian Famine also starving a ton of innocents.

4) 1937 Japanese slaughtered 200,000+ Chinese civilians and POWS in Nanjing, China.

5) 1944-45 Japanese slaughter apx 100,000 Philippine civilians in Manila, Philippines.

6) 1975-79 Mass murders of 2,000,000 people in attempt to install a Communist regime in Pol Pot, Cambodia.

7) Hiroshima and Nagasaki, destroyed major parts of Japan killing millions and even more afflicted with radiation poisoning and other maladies.

8) Rwandan Genocide killed apx 800,000 people.

9) In 1937, Parsley Massacre, Rafael Trujillo ordered the killings of Haitians living in the Dominican Republic killed apx 30,000 people in 5 freakin days!

10) 1947 partition of India, members of the opposite sects found each other on the wrong side of the border; Sikhs and Hindus killing Muslims and vise versa. Mobs hunted and killed almost 1,000,000 people.

Hope this helps you in your research.

Leaders in Darfur firstly was asking for autonomy and full control of their economy (having in mind abundance of gas and petroleum). This was not approved by Sudanese Govt. Years passed and at point Darfurians organized themselves and demanded freedom for their territory. Sudan at all not liked it. Started arresting and harrousment. Darfurians revolted, took some arms in their own hand. Then Sudanese Govt (President Umr Al Bashar), created and sponsored Janjaweed Militia. In 2003, having the support with arms and money the Janjaweed (also backed by Sudanese Army) launched attacks to kill the people indiscremenantly. This is the beginning of mass killing, diplacement of ordinary people, burning, raping..and more. This is genocide!

The Rwandan Genocide was the 1994 mass murder of an estimated 800,000 people. Over the course of approximately 100 days from the assassination of Juvénal Habyarimana on April 6 through mid-July, at least 800,000 people were killed.

The term Bosnian Genocide is used to refer either to the genocide committed by Bosnian Serb forces in Srebrenica in 1995, or to the ethnic cleansing campaign that took place throughout areas controlled by the Bosnian Serb Army during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War. According to the ICRC data, 200,000 people were killed, 12,000 of them children, up to 50,000 women were raped, and 2.2 million were forced to flee their homes.

The Khmer Rouge period (1975-1979) refers to the rule of Pol Pot, Nuon Chea, Ieng Sary, Son Sen, Khieu Samphan and the Khmer Rouge Communist party over Cambodia, which the Khmer Rouge renamed as Democratic Kampuchea. The four-year period saw the deaths of approximately 2 million Cambodians through the combined result of political executions, starvation, and forced labor.

The Darfur Conflict is an ongoing guerrilla conflict or civil war centered on the Darfur region of Sudan. Casualties have been estimated to range from 50,000 to 400,000 people.

Finally, perhaps the most well known genocide in the last 100 years is the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. The Holocaust was the genocide of approximately six million European Jews during World War II, a programme of systematic state-sponsored extermination by Nazi Germany. Two-thirds of the population of nine million Jews who had resided in Europe before the Holocaust were killed.

Some scholars maintain that the definition of the Holocaust should also include the Nazis' systematic murder of millions of people in other groups, including Romani, Soviet prisoners of war, Polish and Soviet civilians, homosexuals, people with disabilities, Jehovah's Witnesses and other political and religious opponents, which occurred whether they were of German or non-German ethnic origin. By this definition, the total number of Holocaust victims would be between 11 million and 17 million people.

These are just a few of the more well known examples of genocides that have occurred in the last 100 years.

The Armenian Holocaust happened because Turkish militia were ordered by their government to kill all people within Turkey that were Christians. This happened in 1915 and thousands of people were killed before this atrocity was halted.

In February of 1994, the president of rwanda, who was a hutu, named habyrimana (spelling?) was in a plane when it was shot down, and the hutu extremists, who did not like the tutsi, used this as an excuse to start mass killing on the tutsis, because they blamed them for the killing. this, however, was not the probable case. it is more likely that the plane was shot down by hutus who did not like the fact that habyrimana was working on a peace treaty with the tutsis. this is not the only proof of this; before the plane was shot down, radio stations would call tutsis cockroaches, and talk about killing them. it is more likely that the whole thing was planned, and they wanted to have ethnic cleansing agaist the tutsis, and this gave them the excuse. of course, before this happened, you have the british who controlled the area before, and allowed the tutsis, who were the minority, to rule the government, so most of this was started when they put them in power and eventually left, and the government went to the majority hutus, who wanted revenge.

He had at least one. A daughter who was a teenager at the time of his death. She is visible on the footage of his house arrest and later, his cremation. Chillingly, Ta Mok (Pol Pot's successor) says that he doesn't know what to do with her.

Genocide is made up of the Latin word gens or gentis, meaning birth, stock, race, and the Latin word cidium (French: "cide"), meaning killing. Together it means literally "Race Killing."

There is a very long history of conflict in Rwanda which was first settled by Hutu people from the tenth century, but from the fourteenth century they became dominated by the Tutsu people migrating to the area. They established a monarchy in the fifteenth century and then a unified state in the late nineteenth century. So this very prolonged historic dominance of the majority Hutus by the minority Tutus is the root cause of the bitterness between these two ethnic groups in Rwanda which has dominated Rwanda's whole history.

Bitterness intensified in 1959 when the Belgian Mandate was in control when the Hutu population rebelled against Tutsu domination resulting in the King and 150,000 Tutus fleeing Rwanda. Rwanda then became a Republic in 1961 and achieved independence in July 1962 under a Hutu President. But he was overthrown in 1973 in a military coup led by Major General Juvenai Habyarimana who took over as President.

After armed Tutsu exiles repeatedly attempted to invade Rwanda in the 1960s and 70s but were repulsed by the Hutu army, continued conflict left thousands dead over a period of ten years. Then in October 1990 they again invaded the country taking control of parts of north Rwanda. The Rwanda government reneged on a 1992 peace agreement and the Tutsu led Rwanda Patriotic Front or FPR advanced on Kigali and forced government to recommence negotiations.

Then after President Habyarimana died in a plane crash, this sparked off the most terrible massacre of both the Tutsu minority and moderate Hutus by the army and militia. 800,000 were massacred in 3 months, millions fleeing to neighbouring countries. A government report in 2002 stated 1,074,017 people, of whom 93% were Tutsus were killed between 1990 and 1994. the country has since achieved relative stability under the FPR but bitterness between the two peoples remains below the surface.

the cambodian war happened in 1971 and ended in 1985.
