Genocide

Capitalism; outright greed, a violation of the very tenets of religion and politics by Americans.

After World War 1, the Treaty of Versailles punished Germany by forcing them to pay for war debts to countries such as France and Great Britain. It also forced Germany to limit its military and weakened the German economy. Germany went through many hard times, and at the same time Adolf Hitler saw the perfect time to make an appeal for power in Germany. In an almost desperate attempt to relieve their troubled economy, people turned to the promises that Hitler had proposed. He disobeyed the Versailles Treaty by rearming the German military. Hitler eventually started to demand more from other countries and no one seemed to stop him. Hitler despised the Versailles Treaty and annexed Austria, which was also in violation of the treaty. Hitler began to make claims on Sudetenland, and was given to him as a way to "prevent any further demands" and to "ensure peace between countries". This shows how the treaty from the outcome of World War 1 eventually led to angst between countries and leaders and how World War 2 was brought out of these bitter feelings and harsh situations.

The Native American Indian genocide was a deliberate, calculated and insidious attempt at destroying the native peoples. It is considered to be one of the most horrific genocides known to man. It has been estimated that there were up to 25 million natives in North America before the white man came. By the 1890's there were known only to be approximately 250,000. Of course those figures cannot be truly known just by their nature and time period, but the point is the devastation percentage wise is unequaled. The white man, given their belief in their basic right to the lands and their arrogance in thinking they were superior to everyone else, systematically set to destroy the Indian. This was accomplished in many ways. First, their weapons were superior. Then there were diseases, murder of infants, children and women to erradicate the native on that level, poisoning of water sources, destruction of food sources, etc etc. The Indian also has to absorb some responsibility. They trusted these new people to live up to their words. They didn't band together until much too late. So many young abandoned the old ways and embraced alchohol. In the end, the American Indian was not totally defeated. Those who held on to their spirituality survived the ongoing war against the Indian. What happened was inevitable. The way it happened was unconscionable.

The Rwandan genocide was not really a war, since the aim of this genocide and any genocide is to exterminate a certain group of people. In the Rwandan genocide the aim was to kill all the Tutsis. Fortunately not all the Tutsis were killed in this genocide, but hundreds of thousands were and Rwanda still has to bear the scar of what happened during that horrible time to this day, so nobody won the genocide, everybody just lost.

The Armenian Genocide has had a profound effect on the Armenian psyche.

Firstly, the Turkish government's failure to recognize the genocide and to strongly advocate against it has horribly affected Turkish-Armenian Relations, leading to bare recognition the countries. This failure on the part of many countries to recognize the Armenian genocide means that, unlike the Jews, they cannot take a small bit of solace in knowing that the people who masterminded the violence have paid. Most of the leaders like Mehmed Talaat, Ismail Enver, and Ahmed Djemal were illegally assassinated by Armenians after the war without any hearing of their crimes.

Secondly, the Armenian homeland was completely stripped of Armenians save for the small part in Russia/Soviet Union at the time. Entire villages were erased, others repopulated with people from central Anatolia, and most of the surviving villages were given new Turkish-language names. Many historic Armenian churches were destroyed completely. This full-scale overwriting of Armenian history on the land has had a profound effect on Armenians, giving rise to several irredentist movements in the past. In the present most Armenians agree that the land is now too Turk-ified and Kurdish to be Armenian land anymore, but some will search for any trace of where their family once came from.

Finally, it buttressed the Armenian nationalist desires. Unfortunately no great power was willing to support Armenian nationalism after Atatürk was able to reverse the Treaty of Sèvres and remove the Kurdish and Armenian states. This prevented Armenians from having their own country until 1991. This nationalism also manifested in the Wars of Nagorno-Karabakh, in which Armenians attacked sovereign Azerbaijani territory because a large percentage of ethnic Armenians live in certain enclave. Currently, the Nagorno-Karabakh region remains under illegal Armenian Occupation.

He murdered all non-aryans :(

My improved answer is:

Adolf Hitler murdered all non-German people such as the Jews and many more...

There are many Holocaust deniers out there who try to discredit what historians claim about what happened during the Holocaust, especially about whether 6 million Jews were really killed.

However, there is overwhelming evidence, like testimonies by victims and testimonies during the Nuremberg trials, as well as Nazi documentation and photographs, and also eye witness accounts by Allied soldiers after they freed prisoners in concentration camps, which historians agree is undeniable proof that the Holocaust did take place.

Usually any claims made that the Holocaust did not really take place or that it is being exaggerated is seen as anti-Semitism and in Germany it is actually illegal to deny or question whether the Holocaust took place.

"Because it is Armenian propoganda and did not really happen!" says the initial poster of this question. There real answer is because of people like this person. Over the last century the Turkish government has done everything in its power to promote forgetting the genocide and to rational the great crime. There were no nuremberg trials which is why it was less known of and not as globally recognized as the Jewish Holocaust. Its was hidden under the cloak of war and is slowly getting the recognition it deserves (Twenty-one countries including Sweden, Argentina and Canada and forty-three states of the United States of America have recognized the Armenian Genocide, with and overwhelming majority of historians in support).

Because it was the one that had both world wars.

Joseph Stalin murdered his rivals because he feared that they were plotting against him for power in the USSR. In certain circumstances, his rivals had different ideas on Marxism and he could not handle dissent. This was even for people who had no ill feelings towards him. They believed that Lenin and Marx had opinions that seemed opposed to Stalin's. Aside from Stalin's ultra-fear complex, many murders were done to scare potential rivals into being quiet or to leave the Soviet Union. Stalin used murder to punish failure. When Hitler had taken control of Europe, and before he attacked the USSR, European Communists sought refuge in Moscow. Stalin in particular, saw German communists as failures, having failed to win elections in Germany against the Nazi's. These communists had to pay the penalty of death for their failures. He also used starvation as a method of murder. The Kulak peasants who opposed losing their lands had their livestock and grain taken from them, and they died of starvation. These "rivals" were people he did not even know, however, he saw them as a threat to the collective farm system he wanted to create.

Yes, specifically in Cambodia and Rwanda.

One of the most serious post 1945 genocides occurred in Rwanda in 1994, with about 800,000 people killed. The international community did nothing till it was over.

Gandhi didnt hear of the massacre until June. He took his actions After that. He supported the construction of two monuments in remembrance of the people that died (one of them was the well people had jumped in to try and save themselves). He then called upon for national satyagraha. This included his 'Non-Cooperation campaign'. He believed that the limited 351 British officials in India, could not manage to govern the 300, 000, 000 Indians living in India if they simply refused to cooperate. This campaign included the boycott of foreign goods, the spinning of cotton, and hartals. This worked for quite a while and for some time people thought the British were going to have to leave, but then some Indians started getting restless with the slow progress and violence started to break out. they mobbed some british officials into a flaming building till they were burnt to death. Because Gandhi's strongest moral was no-violence, he called off the campaign straight away.
hope that helped...Essy.p.s the amritsar massacre was in 1919, not 1920. There was only one memorial built to honor those who passed on.

Genocide, interestingly enough, can be both. For example, there is a certain spiecies of toad called the Cane Toad that resides in Australia. It is an invasive spieces and makes life for other organisms very hard, as it eats everything it can find and when it is eaten, it poisons it's attacker, killing it. They breed extremely quickly and are considered a menace. Would an act of genocide against these creatures be a helpful thing or a bad thing? Keep in mind they were only introduced into Australia in hopes of killing a sugar cane eating beetle grub, which it didn't even touch.

Genocide is also a terrible thing in another, much more well-known case. The genocide commited by the Nazi Party against Jews, Gypsies, Homosexuals and Communists was a terrible act, needless to say. However in about 50 years, when the population of earth has nearly doubled, causing lack of food, more poverty, anarchy and an overwhelming lower class, genocide will have a new meaning to be sure.

Hilter believed that the Jews were the root of all evil and because he was a dictator he could do whatever he wanted as long as he had the support of his country. Hilter blammed the Jews for what had happened during WW1 and he used this to turn every German agaist the Jews. With a whole country behind him, he was able to kill 11 million people, 7 million of them were Jews.

The Holocaust wasn't a problem that needed 'resolving'. The Holocaust ended as the Allied forces advanced and liberated the camps. For example, Soviet forces entered Auschwitz on 27 January 1945, which is widely kept as Holocaust Memorial Day. It sounds almost incredible, but in Kielce in Poland there were anti-Jewish riots in July 1946, which resulted in about deaths.

the movements of the british colonies against the Indian people.

India wanted to be their own colonie consisting of just Muslims and hindus

they wanted independence as they hadn't had any Indian rulers for over two centuries.

There is no event in recent Iraqi history which has been specifically labeled as the Iraqi Genocide. There have certainly been attacks on ethnic groups in Iraq within the last 70 years with the intent of severely crippling or eliminating these groups, but unless a particular group is specified (Kurds, Marsh Arabs, Jews, Shiites, etc.) dates are impossible to give.

The term fogotten holocaust is sometimes applied to any genocide that the writer or speakers believes is ignored.

the boy had a terrible massacre in his city.

They both suck. Also the usa had to put up with it.

Where Colonel John Chivington led a force of mostly volunteer militiamen which slaughtered hundreds of indians, mostly women and children, and mutilated the bodies taking limbs and organs as trophies which they displayed at the Denver Opera House to a cheering crowd.

The Sand Creek Massacre (also known as the Chivington Massacre, the Battle of Sand Creek or the Massacre of Cheyenne Indians) was an incident in the Indian Wars of the United States that occurred on November 29, 1864, when a 700-man force of Colorado Territory militia attacked and destroyed a village of friendly Cheyenne and Arapaho encamped in southeastern Colorado Territory, killing and torturing an estimated 70-163 Indians, about two-thirds of them were women and children.

Surprisingly, Chivington was a Methodist minister. And, to make matters worse he used artillery on the village.

The location has been designated a National Historic Site and is now the National Park Service.

During World War II, the Allied strategic-bombing campaign had several interconnected purposes. First, it aimed to destroy military-related installations and industrial works. Second, it aimed to destroy other industrial, commercial, and transportation facilities that indirectly supported military operations or that were important for the German infrastructure. Finally, it aimed to weaken (perhaps even break) the morale of the German people.
