Genocide

Genocide- An organized mass murder of a race/ group of people with the intent of exterminating the group. The word was not coined until the 1940's which was first used to describe the holocaust. The twentieth century is known for the genocides which occurred. Some of which include the Holocaust, Stalin’s famine in Ukraine, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Pol Pot in Cambodia, and the Rape of Nanking. People debate the reason behind the sudden introduction of genocides are a result from new technologies (Nazi gas chambers). But this is not true in many cases in which many deaths were caused from swords and machetes. Genocide is a global issue which still has not been solved.
