Has america as a democracy ever support or participated in a genocidal process??

Answer 1

What would you call the Indian wars?pp

Answer 2

Sure - the forced relocations of the American Indians, even their slaughter during fights at the original settlements. The forced relocation of Japanese Americans during World War 2 also was genetically based and resulted in deaths. Finally the continued support of the genocidal policies practiced for decades in the State of Israel should also count, if we are being completely honest. Our government refutes this still presently, but if the parties involved where any other set of combatants, we would certainly call it genocide. The delay of action on Dafur and the low degree of participation in the resolution of that conflict would also qualify as "supporting" genocide in terms of our lack of action being accessory to the continued slaughter. The slaughter in Rwanda/Burundi jut a few years earlier had the same issues - we could have intervened with armed forces, but not only did the US not bring forces, we down-played the importance of doing so in the UN discussions - prolonging the slaughter there as well. If you are not white or oil-rich, the US has a policy of just watching from the sidelines these days.

Answer 3

No, not as a democracy or any other entity.
As for the Native Americans, we did not ever set out to destroy them, though putting them on reservations was horrific, it was not an option; the mindset in those days was the taming of the wild west and this could not be accomplished w/o making it safe for people to travel throughout the USA w/o fear of being murdered.
As for Hiroshima and Nagasaki, w/o that bombing, the war would have gone on for God knows how many mroe years at a far greater loss of life than the bombings caused...it shortened the war by several years and saved countless lives.

Answer 4

America practice genocide on the Native Americans for quite a number of years. Other than that, they did not.

Answer 5

Yes, the genocidal actions against the American Indians. There have been actions against other people by Americans, but none as merciless and devilish as the murders against the orginal Americans. Slavery also bordered on genocidal behaviour.

Answer 6

One could state the treatment of the native American constitutes genocide

Answer 7

Sad to say. I don't know if it was a democracy though but "old Hickory" gave blankets infected with Smallpox to the American Indian. Knowing it would kill the tribe.Forget his name. Guess 'cause I have no respect for him and don't like him. It hurts to think that anyone would do something like that.

Answer 8

I'm not the brightest candle in the dark. But, Wounded Knee comes close and so does the blankets that were handed out and traded to the.... I think it was the Cheyenne .......Infected with Smallpox.
Besides that, I don't know. But, I keep smelling something kinda odd...... DON"T YOU ?....... ho ho ho.... FE FI FO FUM, I smell the blood of an englishman. Be he live or be he dead, I'll grind his bones to make my bread, while I chew the hair camest from his head.

Answer 9

Yes, it has. With both Black and Native Americans. The Tuskegee Study is only one, but an infamous inhumanity to man.

Answer 10

I am sure they probably have. When they support a foreign government it has nothing to do with ethics, it is for material gain or because this dictator may be easier to work with.
