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.
Do you mean, "Why was the era AFTER world war 2 called the cold war?" Because no one calls the era of WW2 the cold war.
The significance of World War 2 is that the Western World will not accept aggressors, oppressors and genocide murderers. We expect peace and non-aggression. The United Nations was formed to accomplish that value.
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 Holocaust
No, the Rwandan genocide took place in 1994, about 49 years after the end of World War 2.

The Holocaust. ______ The Holocaust refers to the actual genocide, not to the period and not to World War 2. Many Jews call it the Shoah.
The Jewish people were subjected to genocide by the Nazi regime under Hitler .
Alot. Hope this helped you answer your question :)
There is some confusion here. There is no war that historians call 'The Holocaust War'. The Holocaust (Nazi genocide of the Jews) took place during World War 2, but World War 2 was not about the Holocaust. The two are distinct, though related. Please see the related questions.
Yes sort of because the Jews were discriminated
Adolf Hitler and the Nazis committed genocide during WW2, against the Jews.
This question confuses the Holocaust (genocide) with World War 2.
