Genocide

The Tutsis lost 800,000 to 1 million people, massacred by the Hutus. More Tutsis lived in a country near Rwanda and their rebel group(the Rwandan Patriotic Front) attacked and gained control of Rwanda. The Hutus fled to Congo and the surrounding areas to live in refuge camps. At first they boasted about their killing but later found that it was risky business. Tutsi survivors in Rwanda wanted to bring the guilty to court but the Hutu aids wouldn't and couldn't separate killers and the non-killers. In Arusha, Tanzania, International War Crimes Tribunal has set up a system to try the genocide leaders, at this point there has been many leaders found guilty, but without death penalty and 40 more to be tried. At the end of 2001 around 125,000 prisoners, crammed into overcrowded jails, still remained to be tried.

Examples of genocide include: Armenia in WW1 by th Turks; The dispossession of the American Indian by the US in the north & Spain in central & south america; The concentration camps in WW2; The treatment of their neighbours in recent years by Serbia; Rwanda;

They realized they could do nothing to stop it and wanted to bring their own people to safety.

The Armenians were a Christian people living in the predominantly Muslim Ottoman (Turkish) Empire. About half of them lived in Eastern Anatolia, where they were mainly smallscale farmers. Some of the other Armenians were clustered in the main cities of Turkey in Europe, especially Istanbul. It is said that these urban Armenians did many of the jobs that a reasonable level of education and were better off than most Turks (and envied). The Armenians were a very 'easy' target for politicians looking for scapegoats. In some respects there were similarities between the Armenians in Turkey in c. 1894-1922 and the Jews in Germany in 1920s, but one shouldn't make too much of this. In 1915, during WW1, some Turkish nationalists, such as Talaat, claimed that a number of Armenian units had changed sides and gone over to the Russians as fewllow Christians. Talaat Pasha (and others) thereupon unleaashed the Armenian Holocaust. It is prefectly clear that there had been some planning beforehand.

Also, there are many people in Turkey denied that the genocide of the Armenian people existed. Also, the US was advised of this genocide by the US ambassador to Turkey, Henry Lowenthal.

Genocide is the systematic elimination of a specific ethnic group by a government, and genocide happened in World War II in the obvious way, the Holocaust, which was the murder of millions of Jews by Hitler and Nazi Germany.

He was the leader of the Cambodian communist movement known as the Khmer Rouge and the de facto leader of Cambodia in mid-1975. During his time in power, Pol Pot imposed a version of agrarian collectivization, forcing city dwellers to relocate to the countryside to work in collective farms and forced labor projects, toward a goal of "restarting civilization".

The combined effects of slave labor, malnutrition, poor medical care, and executions resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1.7 to 2.5 million people, approximately 21% of the Cambodian population.

By some views he ranks behind only Hitler and Stalin as the worst mass murderer of the 20th century.

Tribal warfare that resulted in the Rwandan Genocide of the 1990's is believed to have its roots in class warfare. Cattle farming favored by the Tutsi is more profitable than the lower class and lower paid classic farming of the Hutus. Jealousy over perceived economic advantage and a history of colonialists placing Tutsis on a higher social level is believed to have fueled classes between the two tribes in the past.

To be precise it is Srebrenica Genocide or Massacre. About 8000 people were killed, mainly men.

I think it's because the Tutsis and Hutus were evacuated by the Americans. But the genocide hasn't actually stoped. People are still being killed.That might be the answer.

The Cambodian genocide, between 1975 to 1979, started when a Communist group, Khmer Rouge, seized control of Cambodia. The leader, Pol Pot, exercised extreme martial law on the people and executed adults and children across the country.

No it isn't are responsibility, before WW2 the US had a strong sense of isolationism, we should go back to those ways and stay outta other peoples business. Our founding fathers warned us about getting into foreign entanglements and how it would play a key role into the downfall of our nation.

The Young Turks, led by Mehmet Talaat Pasha, Ismail Enver Pasha, and Ahmed Djemal Pasha led the genocide of over 1.5 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire. The majority were killed by Ottoman soldiers, Turkish Irregulars, and Kurdish Irregulars.

British troops fired on a crowd of unarmed Indian protesters, killing an estimated 379 and wounding about 1,200. It left a permanent strain on Indo-British relations and was the prelude to Mahatma GandhiÕs noncooperation movement of 1920Ð22. The shooting was followed by martial law, which included several public floggings.

http://www.answers.com/genocide?cat=biz-fin Genocide is "The systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group." Sometimes religion is included here. Think about it. With the eradication of an entire race you lose people, families, communities, culture, ideas, traditions, ways of thinking... What if it was your race being persecuted. Your brothers and sisters, parents, aunts and uncles, cousins, grandparents, your future children, your best friends, your grandparents friends and memories...

This was when the Rwanda Genocide took place (in Rwanda). This was also a year during the Bosnian War (1991-1995), when there was ethnic cleansing of the Bosnian Bosniak and Croat population by the Bosnian Serb population.

Genocide is the killing of an entire group of people based on some commonality such as religion or nationality. . Ethnic genocide is the killing of a group of people based on their ethnicity, or racial extraction.

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.

Stalin killed way more people than Hitler... Hitlers death number was about 5 times less than Stalin and only reason Hitler is recognized more often is because he was an anti-Semite and he only targeted certain races whereas Stalin destroyed anyone who opposed his authority. Usually when Stalin killed someone it escalated to killing any connections to that person and the numbers grew. Hitler started small and ended small compared to Stalin.

Hitler by far, although Stalin and Pot didn't do it in small amounts. Let's take a look at Hitler's accounting:

Six million Jews, Thousands of Romanis (Gypsies), A couple hundred Black GI's, Around hundred fifty to two hundred homosexuals At least a couple thousands of Jehova Witnesses, Approximately five hundred Muslims, couple more, couple less, Thirty to forty "communists", and Twenty million Soviets.

These are the ones that have been accounted for, but there's the very much shared suspicion that there are many, many, many more...

Slowly - Even the genocides in the last few decades have happened without the international community being able to prevent them.

The Ottoman Empire was involved in the Armenian Genocide.

It was a genocide. It was a killing of UNARMED ordinary Indians. To throw some <still lve> bodies in the well... its unthinkable. A brit. journalist sent a tegramme to UK...its the end of British colonialism.
