I think it's a tie between Russia (or the former USSR) and China. Their human rights records are far worse than the U.S.

Stalin was so messed up that he had about 30 million of his own people KILLED. Mao Tse Tsung starved that many peasants in his own efforts to make China "better."

A reality you spot glaring, yet notwithstanding others might want to discuss it is your opinion. the easy reality is that if each person is given the probability they are commonly in basic terms as violent and opportunistic because the Western international. Slavery, massacres, etc. at the prompt are not in basic terms element of Western historic past. Do you imagine the slavery turned right into a Western employer? all and assorted has used some kind of slavery datting decrease back to antiquity throughout the globe. The slave commerce comes up interior the Code of Hammurabi from Mesopotamia. that is no longer the Western international, it extremely is the middle East. in the course of the Han Dynasty in China 5% of the individuals were enslaved. Japan enslaved Koreans in the course of the sixteenth century. In eighth century Japan out of a inhabitants of about one hundred ninety,000 2 thousand persons were nuhi, the note for slave. for the duration of Korea's Joseon Dynasty, which lasted from the fourteenth to the twentith century, between 30 and 50% of the inhabitants were slaves. In historic Hawaii the Kauwa a slave class. Massacres also date decrease back to antiquity throughout the globe. a variety of of peoples were attempting to wipe out others for the reason that antiquity i'm no longer protecting the Western wrold and what we've finished. i'm in basic terms putting ahead what you call a crok of garbage is being dumbed decrease back on your lap for no longer paying sufficient interest to all and assorted's historic past. you want to say it really is in difficulty-free words some darkish spots on their historic past, notwithstanding it really is no longer. Mankind does no longer say "ok the worst of who we are will be dependent in those places with in difficulty-free words some incidents occuring elsewhere." No, the worst we may be able to do occurs between all and assorted. What you do not favor to settle for as reality is that each and every thing you list applies to the whole international, to all of mankind. in basic terms that some might want to correctly be better at hiding their dirty laundry than others.

Russia has had lots of bloody moments on both other countries and their own people.

Iraq tends to get taken over by.....everyone.

But I think right now the countries in Africa are having the roughest times.

I think, easily the most persecuted people would have to be Muslims. They have borne the brunt of some of the most heinous acts in history.
And I think America would have to be the country with the most blood on its hands. Look at Vietnam, Hiroshima, the American Civil War, WWI and WWII, and the bloody war on terror.

[EDIT] I concede...Russia has had quite a bloody past.
In retrospect, all nations have had bloody pasts, I suppose it depends on whether the nation/people was the perpetrator of the bloodshed or whether they were the victims.
In either case, over the entirety of history I think the Muslims would have it hands down. They have shed blood and had blood shed.

I think Ireland because were persecuted for hundreds of years by the British. Under Cromwell in the late 1600's, tens of thousands of us were massacred and sold into slavery, and our population fell by 2/3rds. Catholics, 90% of the population, became the owners of 2% of the land. Also, Catholics lost the right to an education, to inherit land, to buy land, and to enter the professions. These laws were liberalised under Charles II at the Restoration, but returned in 1691 after the defeat of James II by William of Orange. They contributed to the Famine of 1846-52, because although most of the restrictions were gone by then, they created a situation where absentee English landlords owned almost all the land and made it impossible for people to afford to feed themselves and also pay their rents. 500,000 people were evicted during the Famine.
