Holocaust
Since World War II, there have been several recognized genocides, including the Holocaust, the Cambodian Genocide (1975-1979), the Rwandan Genocide (1994), and the Bosnian Genocide (1992-1995). Other instances, such as the Armenian Genocide and the Darfur Genocide, have also been noted. Estimates suggest that there have been over a dozen significant cases of genocide since 1945, each with varying degrees of recognition and international response. The exact number can be difficult to quantify due to differing definitions and classifications of genocide.
After World War II, the United Nations sought to prevent genocide by adopting the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in 1948, which defined genocide and established legal obligations for member states to prevent and punish this crime. The UN also created various mechanisms, such as peacekeeping missions and human rights monitoring, to address potential genocidal situations. Additionally, the establishment of the International Criminal Court in 2002 aimed to hold individuals accountable for genocide and other serious crimes against humanity.
During World War II, the Holocaust led to the systematic genocide of six million Jews and millions of others, including Romani people, disabled individuals, and political dissidents, primarily orchestrated by Nazi Germany. This genocide aimed to eliminate entire populations deemed undesirable, resulting in profound human suffering and loss. It served as a horrific example of the consequences of unchecked hatred and totalitarianism, significantly impacting post-war policies, human rights discussions, and the establishment of the United Nations. The genocide remains a crucial historical lesson about the dangers of intolerance and prejudice.
The Cold War wasn't an actual war. No big battles, no large amounts of people openly killed. It was an arms race and an overhanging threat of war, not outright fighting as in WW 1.
Capitalism; outright greed, a violation of the very tenets of religion and politics by Americans.
No, however one could consider the killing of Native Americans, with both disease and war to be considered a genocide. Many different tribes were wiped out by the Europeans.
Its not a war, it's genocide.
