Top 20 Worst Massacres of the 20th Century

What year was this

How many Allied Soldiers in WW2 were ever found guilty of even one war crime against the Germans?

The Germans sowed wind and they harvested storm. This was the punishment for killing Jews. But they learnt the lesson. After the war they became friends with Israel. And now they are one of the prosperous countries in the world.

somewhere in there the 20th century was mentioned.

portuguese, not poertuguese

i hold Indians (if such a term is acceptable, now it's all African/American, ect..) in great respect and i vote Andrew Jackson worst president (economic policy wasn't bad though)for defying congress while disrupting the balance of power with military force establishing his absolute rule and therefore tarnishing our great nation's sovereignty, breaking peace treaties held up by the other side in that area( Florida the exception), and commiting genocide. but you can not call all of these genocide as as we threw the first punch back in 1670 punches on both sides were thrown and indians many a time fought against each other (A.K.A. the French-Indian wars with Iroquois). also war is war and i believe only peacetime kills and indians counter attacks after broken treaties count. also Indians (as all tribal societies/ nomads did) slaughtered each other in war time but since not on mass and killing efficient scale damage was far less. also if you want to veer off of 20th century look at every civilization pre dark ages (genocide was acceptable throughout history(eg. romans in punic wars and many other times, jewish conquest of holy land(Cristian but still genocide even if commanded by God)) but perceptions and moral standards have changed exponentially in past century or so(exceptions include Militarist Japan, multiple "communist" countries all countries that were moral nihilist.)).

How come you forgot SPAIN? they killed way more than anyone else combined!

This was not in the 20th century. But the impact is still there.

Turkey is a criminal state that remains as barbarian and unapologetic to this very day.

Greeks were killed while trying to invade asia minor. I think self defense is not murder. Or is it?

why should this be so high go down the list and look at number of people killed in other Genocides. Don't bring your emotions in the ranking. This ranking should be done strictly based on number of people who died/were killed

The Turks murdered around 1 Million Christain Armenians

Lately historians speak of 2 Million German women raped by Russian soldiers. Almost incredible, but said to be based on material. This is a massace in itself. Against this stand 2 Million (0r more) russian soldiers perished in German custody as prisoners of war.

Plus ten thousand of women raped by the Russian hordes

These british should point finger towards them before blaming Hitler without fireing a single weapon they killed 30-40 million

Men, Women, and Children were massacred. Most women were raped, that is why it is known as the Rape of Nanking. China's capital was Nanking at that time or the Chinese pronunciation "Nanjing". There were also killing contests between Japanese soldiers of who can first kill 100 people with a sword. The Nanking Massacre was authorized by the Japanese Emperor Hirohito himself,whom the Japanese protect him. The Japanese government currently deny this event because it is too horrible and disgusting for them to admit. Also, communism in CHina was also caused by Japan, which led to the Korean war, so pretty much you can blame Japan for a lot of things. They killed about 30 million Chinese civilians, and I can argue they caused the deaths of more than 100 million people.

*2 million

Don't forget Africa

My understanding is it's over 6 million. Not 1.2 Million

so was the millions of civillians Japan killed all over the world

Google.

When the **** was this ?

I worked with 2 serbs, the muslims killed millions of serbs,

your obviously politically inspired.750,000 is the correct figure. of course most of them were serbs.

again better pooled together. sad too. also many were killed pre war who were cripples or retarded. pwillis123

That time there were only 80.000 Herero living in Namibia. According to history books 1-2 thirds were killed in the process of the war. But war is not the same as massacre.

8,000 Ottoman troops plus Turks and Jews died. Don't forget the Navarino Massacre as well.

Only 8.000 turks, were defending Tripolis against the siege. But there were also some thousand Jews who were slaughtered after storming of the City.
