Preventing genocide is one of the greatest challenges facing the international community.[1]<span> Aside from the suffering and grief inflicted upon generations of people and the catastrophic social, economic and political dislocations that follow, this ‘crime of crimes’ has the potential to destabilize entire regions for decades (Bosco, 2005). The shockwaves of Rwanda’s genocide are still felt in the eastern parts of the Democratic Republic of Congo nearly 20 years later, for example. Considerable resources are now devoted to the task of preventing genocide. In 2004 the United Nations established the Office of the Special Advisor on the Prevention of Genocide with the purpose to ‘raise awareness of the causes and dynamics of genocide, to alert relevant actors where there is a risk of genocide, and to advocate and mobilize for appropriate action’ (UN 2012). At the 2005 World Summit governments pledged that where states were ‘manifestly failing’ to protect their populations from ‘war crimes, genocide, ethnic cleansing and crimes against humanity’ the international community could step in a protect those populations itself (UN, 2012). The ‘responsibility to protect’ (R2P) project, designed to move the concept of state sovereignty away from an absolute right of non-intervention to a moral charge of shielding the welfare of domestic populations, is now embedded in international law (Evans 2008). Just this year, the United States government has stated that ‘preventing mass atrocities and genocide is a core national security interest and a core moral responsibility of the United States,’ and that ‘President Obama has made the prevention of atrocities a key focus of this Administration’s foreign policy’ (Auschwitz Institute, 2012). Numerous scholars and non-government organisations have similarly made preventing genocide their primary focus (Albright and Cohen, 2008; Genocide Watch, 2012).</span>
1) Population curb: After the Europeans became extremely strong, they forced Indians off their homeland and placed them in reservations and such.
2)Disease: Disease brought by Europeans (i.e. measels, chicken pox, etc)
These impacted the American Indians more than weapons and technology of the days
3) Technology: Technology would be the next. As many Indians gathered and hunt (yes some did farm, not a lot, and with primitive tools), there tool weren't as enhanced as the Europeans (for example, they use wooden plows against the European iron plows. Or they still use wooden spears with hardened points or bows made of wood and arrows with stone points. On the other hand, the Europeans used muskets (IDR if they invented rapid-fire yet or not) body armor (knight's armor type, kinda like conquistadors) and cannons, etc. Technology helped Europeans both gain allies and defeat their enemies relatively easy.
4) Allies and Enemies: As Europeans allied themselves with certain tribes, the other tribes would feel unsafe and the sort, and would make war. This led too numerous wars, and the fall of many Indian tribes (and European powers. Take for example, the French and Indian war).
5) Crops: Europeans introduced many different crops that were later part of Indian food life and the sort. These include wheat, barley, rice, turnips, etc. Some of these crops impacted Indian life, and became one of the many foods they eat.
hope this helps
