Genocide had been introduced to many nations in practical terms.
Before including the term 'Genocide' into the international
dictionaries, and before the disciplines and rules concerning
genocide were set; before international communities dealt with it
and punished the criminals of genocidal crimes and considering it as
an obvious phenomenon, genocide had been introduced to many nations
in practical terms and the history of it goes back to the centuries
before the Christ.
Here, we study the historical examples of genocide:
The genocide as a phenomenon in history:
In 615 B.C., the Babylons had murdered Assyrians in a massacre,
and murdered most of them, and destroyed the city of Nineveh, to the
extent when the Greek leader (Xenophon) in (427-335 BC), after two
centuries, passed through the Nineveh city, he did not note that once
upon a time people lived in the city.
It is also worth mentioning that in 596 B.C., Abu Khuznasri, the
Chaldean King (605-562 B.C.), brought down the city of Yahooda in
Israel, and put an end to two Israeli revolutions, but in 539 B.C.,
the Persian King (Cyrus 1) freed the Jewish people by destroying the
Babel city.
In February 1258, the Mongols and Tatters, led by Holako, attacked
the city of Baghdad, and then killed children, women, detained and
disabled people (Mongols made no difference between those who stood
against them and those who surrendered themselves to them, both
were murdered). Aa a result, they killed 80000 people of Baghdad's
residents in a period of 40 days.
When America was discovered in 1492, the original residents were
Indians, a people of millions, but after the mass-migration of
Europeans to the Americas, the Indians became foreigners in their
own land, furthermore, their number, centuries later, were fewer than
ever. If they were not annihilated, where to did they disappear?!!
Another kind of genocide, that is taken place in a different way,
is that of British Imperialism spreading opium in China of 19th
century, having negative influence on the Chinese community. Chinese
youths, as a result were not able to stand up for their country, as
addicted consumers of opium, and this indeed was the aim of English
colonialism. When China closed the opium stores in the country, it
had a negative aspect against the British economy, this is perhaps
why, three years later, in 1842, Britain succeeded to set the Treaty
of Nanjing that was considered as a blow to China, and then Hong
Kong submitted to British demands. This is historically called the
Opium War.
With the start of the First World War in 1914, many genocidal
operations were taking place against various peoples around Europe,
as a result, and millions of people were victims.
During the First World War, In April 22, 1915, the Germans used the
Chloral poisonous Gas against the Frenchmen, and soon afterwards, the
Englishmen started the first poisonous attack in September 25, 1915.
In April 24, 1915, the Ottoman Sultan Abdul Hammed and the Turkish
Youth organization, tried to put an end to the Turkish Armenians (to
forbid the separation of Eastern Armenian from Turkey), and created
the most infamous massacre against the Armenians. Sultan Abdul Hammed
had killed about 300 thousand Armenians on the first hand.
Separately, the attacks of the Young Turkey had killed about a
million and half of the Armenians and also made 800 thousand others
displaced. That's why, the Republic of Armenia, in the most recent
years, made this day a memorandum day for the major genocidal events
that were taken place against Armenians in history.
In 1933, the Iraqi authority of the time, murdered and annihilated more
than 4 thousand Assyrians in the district of (Smel) of the Duhok city.
Franko, the Spanish dictator, during the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939),
was the cause of annihilating hundreds of thousands of people,
especially in the Jernica town, that became the source of Pablo
Picasso's inspiration in his famous painting.
During the Second World War, 1939-1945, 18 million people from
Sharistan were annihilated. 70 thousand Jews, and millions of Russians,
Polish, hundreds of thousands of French, Dutch and Yugoslavian
people?etc. were also murdered.
In 1948, Israel in Deer Yaseen, in a mass killing, murdered 252
people. In 1979, Bokasa, a brutal dictator, in the Central African
Republic, was in charge of beheading approximately 100 children.
Clearly, there are many more examples of genocide and annihilation
that the racialist dictators committed against other nations.
Examples of these dictators like: Troilus, Chowchesku, Saddam, Castro
and Radovan Kardchic. The latter, under the name of racism, annihilated
and murdered many peace-lover Bosnians, especially in the city of
Srebrenitsa, where 40 thousand people became victims and were murdered.
