Ten Possible Genocides English 3-4 A Research Project

1. The Armenians Country: Turkey and the Ottoman Empire Time Period: 1915 to the 1920s The Persecutors: The Turks The Victims: The Armenians Extra Information: Although about 2, 000,000 Armenians are suspected of being killed during this time period, even today it is illegal in Turkey to talk of the Armenians or that their deaths might be considered a genocide.

2. The Holodomor Country: Ukraine and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics Time Period: 1932-1933 The Persecutors: The Soviets The Victims: The Ukrainians Extra Information: The genocide was achieved through a man-made famine. From 3,000,000 to 8,000,000 people were starved to death.

3. Gypsies, Sinti, Lalleri, Others Country: German-occupied areas Time Period: 1939-1945 The Persecutors: Hitler’s supporters The Victims: The Roma (the name for gypsies) Extra Information: An estimate of how many of the Roma were killed in the Holocaust is about 220,000. About 10% of this number died in Auschwitz.

4. In Cambodia Country: Cambodia Time Period: 1975-1979 The Persecutors: the Khmer Rouge The Victims: Cambodians Extra Information: The Khmer Rouge sent educated citizens and protestors to “killing fields” where they were shot. It is estimated that 1.7 to 2 million Cambodians died during the four years.

5. The Bosniaks Country: the former Yugoslavia Time Period: 1990s The Persecutors: the Serbs The Victims: the Bosniaks and Croatians Extra Information: This complicated genocide involves a war, where one country was divided into seven separate countries, and the conflicts between the former citizens. Over 8,000 people were killed.

6. In Rwanda Country: Rwanda Time Period: 1994 The Persecutors: the Hutus The Victims: the Tutsis Extra Information: In a few months, from April to July, over 800,000 people were killed.

7. Darfur and the Sudan Country: Sudan Time Period: 2003 to now The Persecutors: the Janjaweed The Victims: the Sudanese who live in Darfur Extra Information: The Darfur genocide, as it is called, has spread and become more complicated, with overlapping militia groups, and the splitting of Sudan into two countries: Sudan, and South Sudan.

8. The Rohingya Country: Burma Time Period: 2012 to now The Persecutors: the Rakhine ethnic group and the democratic government of Burma The Victims: the Rohingya, a Muslim minority Extra Information: Since Burma achieved independence in 1948, it has refused to recognize the Rohingya as citizens of the country. They suffer human rights violations, displacement, and persecution. Is ethnic cleansing and genocide in their future?

9. Yezidi Country: Iraq Time Period: 2014 to now The Persecutors: the Islamic State (ISIS or ISIL) The Victims: the Yezidi and other ethnic minorities in Iraq Extra Information: About 800,000 people have been driven from their homes, and hundreds or maybe even thousands killed. Is this a form of ethnic cleansing or even a genocide in the making?

10. In Syria Country: Syria Time Period: 2011 to now The Persecutors: various groups in Syria, including the ruling power The Victims: other citizens of Syria Extra Information: “The conflict in Syria has cost the lives of more than 400,000 people, displaced millions more, and involved numerous atrocities and crimes against humanity. Seven decades after the Holocaust and despite promises of Never Again, a regime is targeting its own people while the international community stands by,” according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.
