The two two areas of the world had the most acts of genocide during the 20th century were Europe and Africa.

In Europe, specifically in Germany, the Nazi Germany party perpetrated genocide against the Jews led by Adolf Hitler. That apalling event occured during World War II is known as Holocaust, in which over six million European jews were systematically murdered.

In Africa, the genocide against the Tutsi, known as the Rwanda genocide  was a mass slaughter of Tutsi in Rwanda during the Rwandan Civil War, led by members of the Hutu majority government between 7 April and 15 July 1994.

<u>The two main genocides perpetrated during the 20th century are the following:</u>

  • The genocide against Jews performed by the German nazi party under the leadership of Adolf Hitler. Nazis also aimed to murder other groups such as homosexuals, disabled and gypsy people, as they were all considered to be subhumans, if compared to the supreme aryan race. Hitler and his followers used deportations to death and concentration camps with gas chambers to massively eliminate hundreds of thousands.  This genocide is denominated the Holocaust, and took place during WWII (1939-1945.
  • Genocide of Rwanda, where the majority of the population in Rwanda,  who pertained to the Hutu ethnicity, tried to kill every single Tutsi person (different ethnic group). The Belgish colonizers had made the distinction betwen the two ethnic groups explicit in their identity cards. When the country became independent, the Tutsi goverment was removed and replaced by Hutu rulers, who remained in power between 1961 and 1994. The genocide started in 1994.

This is true

The communists were fighting against those who supported the royalty and the military. When they managed to win China turned into the People's Republic of China led by the communist party. The ones who lost fled and still claimed that they are the rightful government even though they were in exile. The situation still exists today.
