genocide: the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group.
in other words:
when you kill every last person of a race. or kill them becuase of their race
Genocide is generally considered one of the worst moral crimes a government (meaning any ruling authority, including that of a guerrilla group, a quasi state, a Soviet, a terrorist organization, or an occupation authority) can commit against its citizens or those it controls. The major reason for this is what the world learned about the Holocaust, the systematic attempt of German authorities during World War II to kill all and every Jew no matter where found-to destroy Jews as a group.

Genocide is a term defined by Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnic, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; and forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."

Darfur, the holocaust; rwanda; turkish armenians; serbian muslims; native americans (north and south); the trojans.
These are but a very, very few examples. If you know nothing about any of them, you should probably not breed or anything like that.

It is the systematic killing of a group of people with the goal being the elimination of that sub group.
