what was The 1st Genocide of 20Th century.?

Question

in 1915 By the Hands of Ottoman Empier. give u clue first race who excepted Christianity. and they
survievd and they are pretty very old race.

Answer 1

My grandma's father, mother, and only brother were murdered right in front of her during that genocide. She used to tell me about it when I was younger. She died with those agonizing memories still in her eyes, and in her heart. I may call myself white trash, but I am proud to be 100% Armenian, and I will never forget the Armenian Genocide of 1915, and the 1.5 million Armenians thay were killed in it.

Answer 2

Hmm, numbers are basically irrelevant; as genocide is the destruction of a people as a separate culture (or attempt to) one would be better to ask what was the most successful genocide. Thus we could conclude that the genocide which most successfully eliminated it target culture (not everyone has to die, just the sense of group/national identity) was "the worst." Clearly the Holocaust was a dire failure, Judaism still thrives; likewise we can dismiss the great communist dictators killings as these generally focused on political opponents & social groupings rather than specific cultures. The Turks got pretty close with the Armenians but still failed, as did the Hutu in Rwanda (hell, they've got a pro-Tutsi govt. now...) Really the 20thC genocide was a failure in this respect, it really has nothing to compare to say the colonisation of the Americas or sub-saharan Africa, both of which, though only modestly deadly by 20thC standards, very effectively detached the native population from their way of life, religion & traditional social structures.

Answer 3

The Armenian Genocide

Answer 4

it would be the Armenian Genocide-- carried out by the Ottoman Empire

as far as being the first genocide of the 20th century.. I'm not sure - humans have been massacring each other for centuries!

Answer 5

Technically, the German massacre of the Herero and the Nama in German South-West Africa, (1904–1907).

And take into account that genocidal campaigns/ethnic cleansing against Native-Americans in the US, against Aborigines in Australia, against Congolese natives in the Congo Free State, and the slaughter of Philippine civilians during the Philippine-American War (1899 - 1913), were still going on in the beginning of the 20th century!

P.S. : Good point about the (Second) "Boer War", but that was not the first appearance of internment camps. The Spanish used them in the "Ten Years' War" that later led to the Spanish-American War, and the United States used them to devastate guerrilla forces during the Philippine-American War. But the concentration camp system of the British *was* on a much larger scale.

Answer 6

I believe the first genocide to STAR in the 20th century was during the Herero and Namaqua wars that took place in present day Namibia from 1904 to 1907. It was about 75,000 people in all. But that doesn't go along with your clue...

Answer 7

Armenian Genocide during WWI.

Answer 8

Well, concentration camps were invented by Britain during the Boer wars. The internment of women and kids in them and their deaths from disease and malnutrition was a small-scale genocide, but it still qualifies.

Answer 9

There's a whole lot of world out there, so I can't really know for sure, but my conjecture would be the same as yours -- that of the Armenians by the Turks.
