The USA has been a massive murderer considering it's short history! Great Britain has a far longer history of oppression and murder though. Any more?

depends were you wish to go in History . Hitler puts America and Britain in the small league when it comes to mass murder . Russior makes Hitler look a bit of an ammiture ,Stalin killed of whole races. Gengis Ghan makes them all look sick he killed of a few dozen races The Chinese emperers had a very good go at everybody Nobody knows how many Alexander the so called great massacred. The Romans were the past masters at killing for fun and spent 500 years perfecting there art . the Arabs have nothing to boast about but they seem to like killing there millions among themselves and spent generations killing generations .
So whoever you are do not sit there smugly thinking that somebody somewere is innocent , every race on earth has more blood on there hands than they would like to admit and cannot point an innocent finger at anyone

The usa and uk's history is as good or as bad as almost anyone elses its just a question of scale.
Now as for with scale.....
Massive murder like in millions has never been committed by either the us or uk as far as I know.
China mao, Russia stalin, Turkey vis Armenians and kurds, Korea kim il, Vietnam Khmer rouge polpot, Germany hitler, in recent years have been guilty of this.
In the past other fanatical empires have had their day...
I have left some out like Belgium congo because of the sheer scale of those I quoted....
If your gona have a swipe at something
get the facts straight at least
or have a laugh......

Stalin"s USSR killed 60 million people, or 5 times as many as Hitler's Final Solution.
Possibly Mao's Communist China at more than 20 million.
Pol Pot and Cambodia's Kmere Rouge at 2million+ in a small country.
The USA and Britain have no skeletons on that scale

Japan, for one, in its Shogun period, had many duels for honor and suicides for the same purpose, it is in the running, the Soviet Union, considering how many dissenters, spies and the like "disappeared", are qualifiers, and the Middle East, with its terrorism is up there as well. Interesting you should fix upon America though. Oh, and another thing; war is not murder,I admit we do have a lot of wars in our history, and they eclipse any actual "murder" the US has been involved in, has there been any? I would be interested to hear, if there was; war and executions for criminal acts don't count.

I think it has to be Great Britain. It depends what you mean by 'blood on their hands'. Although there are instances of Britain silencing internal opposition, it is not on the scale of Russia China etc. However I find it difficult to find a country that Great Britain has not had a war/ conflict/ battle/ armed confrontation of some sort. That's another question. What country has Britain not had a fight with? You will be hard pushed to find one.

Germany has to be a contender, Japan too.
Belgium punches well above its weight in this contest, France is well up there, the former Soviet Union must be near the top too - Rwanda and Kampuchea are more recent candidates who have done well, the list is a long one . . .
Personally, though, I don't think that either Italy or Iraq would be anywhere near the top of the list. I did think about China, that should be near the top too

Soviet Union. Come on Stalin and Lenin.
How about Cambodia with Pol Pot and the Khmere Rouge if you are going be percentage.
Don't forget China.
Then there was also the Empire of Japan.

The USA and Great Britian? Maybe, but the all time would have to be Germany, Poland during WWII and the Halocast. Japan, Cambodia, more so than the US and UK.

thats an academic question. You would have to set values for comparison. What would they be?
Besides I can't think of a country/people which didn't have it's share of warfare. Germans, Japanese, Chinese, Arabs, Romans, French, Spanish people, Swedish people, Russians, US-Americans, Hungarians, Greeks ...
