What groups where involved both as victim and aggressor in the genocide armenia?
Murder and expulsion of Turkish Armenians by the Ottoman Empire under Abdulhamid II in 1894 - 96 and by the Young Turk government in 1915 - 16. In 1894, when the Armenians began agitating for territorial autonomy and protesting against high taxes, Ottoman troops and Kurdish tribesmen killed thousands. In 1896, hoping to call attention to their plight, Armenian revolutionaries seized the Ottoman Bank in Istanbul. Mobs of Muslim Turks, abetted by elements of the government, killed more than 50,000 Armenians in response. Sporadic killings occurred over the next two decades. In response to Russia's use of Armenian troops against the Ottomans in World War I (1914 - 18), the government deported 1.75 million Armenians south to Syria and Mesopotamia, in the course of which some 600,000 Armenians were killed or died of starvation.
How can you prevent another Holocaust in the future?
we can prevent another holocaust by not getting into hatred, not discriminating or being racist. If the Nazis realized everyone was equeal there wouldn't have been a first holocaust. And if we learn at an early age about how Hitler and the Nazi regime hated on Jews, maybe it will teach kids a lesson on how not to descriminate, be racist, or anything like that.
Conquering the land that is now known as Turkey. They also conquered Syria, Palestine, Egypt, Mesopotamia, parts of Arabia, and North Africa. They also attacked the Byzantine Empire, seized Constantinople which is now Istanbul and is also their capital.
What group of people did the Ottoman Turks commit genocide?
There were several such groups. The Armenians were the most prominently persecuted in what would be a genocide. Greek Orthodox Christians were also persecuted as were certain Kurdish groups. (Most Kurds actually fought alongside the Ottomans.) There were also repressions of Syrian Arabs in southern Anatolia to prevent them from uniting with the British led Meccan Arab Revolts.
Why did it take so long for other countries to get involved in stopping Hitler's mass genocide?
For several reasons. Probably the greatest reason is that much of the world (including many in Europe) were unaware of exactly what it was that the Nazi government was doing with its prisoners.
Though of course there were some who knew the truth, for the most part either they could do nothing about it on their own, could not get word out of the tightly-controlled Nazi territories to other countries, or were participating in it themselves.
Another reason (though it seems obvious) is that there was a war going on, and even if every single allied country had known that millions were being murdered within German-occupied territory, they still would have had to fight the Axis armies until they could reach them. Indeed, the full scale of the atrocities were not realised by the world at large until the Allied forces literally began stumbling across the camps.
Finally, it should be said that though there were legitimate reasons that most of the world did not know about the genocide, many countries and leaders failed to take a full stand against Hitler and his government's mistreatment of "inferiors" when they could have. Many people knew, for instance, that Jews, Roma, Poles, and other peoples were being rounded up and taken to ghettos early on in the war. Despite the fact that most could not have known that the persecutions would lead to genocide, millions of people turned a blind eye to small-scale abuses, which allowed a large blind spot in which abuses then took place on a massive scale.

Was the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 a genocide?
No it wasn't deliberate genocide. After months of bombing cities in Japan, the US issued an ultimatum called the Potsdam Declaration of July 26, 1945 demanding that Japan surrender. The Japanese government ignored this demand. The US dropped the first atomic bomb on Hiroshima on August 6; then the second on Nagasaki on August 9. On August 15, Japan announced its surrender and on September 2, 1945 Japan signed an Instrument of Surrender, officially ending the war.
The US's official justification was that it would save many more lives than it cost by ending the war, but most people just wanted the war to end period. The secondary goal was to let it be known that it would be much too costly in lives to wage war in the future and hoped that the atomic bomb would be the ultimate deterrent.
Each night multiple 500 to 1000 plane incendiary bombing raids attacked Japanese cities resulting in similar fatalities per raid as each atomic bomb did! Far more Japanese died each night from these raids than died in the two atomic bombings. Without the atomic bomb, those raids would have continued for more than a year, Japan's population would have been far more than decimated.

What was the date of the Goliad Massacre?
The Battle of Goliad was the second skirmish of the Texas Revolution. In the early-morning hours of October 10, 1835, rebellious Texas settlers attacked the Mexican Army soldiers garrisoned at Presidio La Bahía, a fort near the Mexican Texas settlement of Goliad. La Bahía lay halfway between the only other large garrison of Mexican soldiers (at San Antonio de Béxar) and the major Texas port of Copano.
In September, Texians began plotting to kidnap Mexican General Martín Perfecto de Cos, who was en route to Goliad to attempt to quell the unrest in Texas. The plan was initially dismissed by the central committee coordinating the rebellion. However, within days of the Texian victory at the Battle of Gonzales, Captain George Collingsworth and members of the Texian militia in Matagorda began marching towards Goliad. The Texians soon learned that Cos and his men had already departed for San Antonio de Béxar but continued their march.
The garrison at La Bahía was understaffed and could not mount an effective defense of the fort's perimeter. Using axes borrowed from townspeople, Texians were able to chop through a door and enter the complex before the bulk of the soldiers were aware of their presence. After a 30-minute battle, the Mexican garrison, under Colonel Juan López Sandoval, surrendered. One Mexican soldier had been killed and three others wounded, while only one Texian had been injured. The majority of the Mexican soldiers were instructed to leave Texas, and the Texians confiscated $10,000 worth of provisions and several cannons, which they soon transported to the Texian Army for use in the Siege of Béxar. The victory isolated Cos's men in Béxar from the coast, forcing them to rely on a long overland march to request or receive reinforcements or supplies.

What was Hitler's program of genocide?
The actual campaign is usually called the Holocaust.
_____
There are many questions wrapped up in this. How did Hitler and the Germans come to hate the presence of Jews? How could they deceive themselves on the beliefs, ideals and history of Jews? How did Hitler proceed to exterminate them? His plan is stated in his autobiography, Mein Kampf. He was himself one-quarter Jewish, consulted a revered Jewish family doctor and was in physical appearance far from the model Aryan type. As a young man, he failed to gain admittance to art school, and blamed intriguing, including by Jews, against him. Like many Germans, he also sought a scapegoat for Germany's defeat in the First World War. A widely read piece of forgery presented the Jews as members of a worldwide conspiracy to dominate the world. This combination of factors fed a dangerously disturbed mind.
Hatred of Jews, jealousy and resentment against Jewish success, and opportunistic looting of Jewish property has recurred throughout European history. England in the 13th century committed the first European pogrom against them. Nazi Germany was the worst but not the last instance of the phobia against Jews. The German aim to cleanse their country's supposed racial purity extended to proscription of other races, like gypsies and Slavs, and to the mentally handicapped. It was based on ignorance. Hitler was atheistic but the church leaders were mostly tolerant of his antics, since the Catholic Church had not overthrown the hints in the Bible that Jews should forever bear responsibility for the death of Jesus. Of course, this is a false, wicked and indeed absurd, doctrine.
Was the Holocaust the first genocide?
To organize the debate those opinions that hold that the Holocaust was a genocide will be shown first and those that hold that it was not will be shown second. This order has no bearing on the correctness of any of the views.
PART 1: YES - It was a genocide or genocides
Answer 1
Of course the Holocaust is considered genocide! From 1941 onwards the Nazis tried to kill every Jew that they could find. The fact that others, in addition to the main taget were included, doesn't alter the fact. What more, the word genocide was specifically created in 1944 to describe what the Nazis were doing to the Jews.
Answer 2
See Expert Answers.
PART 2: NO - It was not a genocide or genocides
Answer 1
No because Hitler wanted to eliminate the Jews, Gypsies, and people suffering from mental or physical disorders or handicaps, and the definition of Genocide is the mass killing of a certain race or ethnicity.
Answer 2
Of course the Holocaust is not considered genocide! Though the Jews that the Nazis could find were made up of a dozen different kinds of Jews, there was no possibility or intention to eliminate the entire group as there were parts of those groups in countries that the Nazis could not extradite them from. Though the word genocide was created to describe what the Nazis did, language and that word has evolved since then.
This issue and many others in relation to the Holocaust are a matter of personal opinion, though one school may be adamant that one interpretation is accurate, another school may be equally convinced of the opposite.

How is the Holocaust and the Rwanda genocide similar?
They are similar in some ways for example they were both separated and lots of people were killed.
