Answer:  The HOLOCAUST

Context/details:

The Holocaust is a term used to describe the systematic mass slaughter of European Jews and others in Nazi concentration camps during World War II.

Holocaust" is a term that means "burning the whole thing."  It comes from terms related to burnt offerings of animals in ancient religions. Essentially, the unwanted Jews and others in Germany were treated like animals to be slaughtered.  You can find appearances of the term "holocaust" in use already during World War II, such as the records of Britain's House of Lords in 1943 noting that a member there had asserted that "the Nazis go on killing" and urging some relaxing of immigration rules so that "some hundreds, and possibly a few thousands, might be enabled to escape from this <u>holocaust</u>.”  But the term gained its main currency as historians in the 1950s began to use the term in reference to the Nazi's campaign of genocide.

By the way, the term "genocide" is another that came into use around the same time.  Raphael Lemkin, a Polish legal scholar (of Jewish ethnicity) had been studying the problem of mass killings of a people group since the 1920s, in regard to Turkish slaughter of Armenians in 1915.  He coined the term "genocide" in 1944, in reference also to the Holocaust.  The term uses Greek language roots and means "killing of a race" of people.  Lemkin served as an advisor to Justice Robert Jackson, the lead prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials.  "Crimes against humanity" was the charge used at the Nuremberg trials, since no international legal definition of "genocide" had yet been accepted.  Ultimately, Lemkin was able to persuade the United Nations to accept the definition of genocide and codify it into international law.

Should Roosevelt be given the task of “ improving” parts of the world even if they do not want to be improved?
juin [17]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

First of all, who would be the one giving the task?

Second of all, the people must be able to accept change for them to experience change.

Third of all, who would take on the task? Which country/people? Who would provide the resources, fundings, & volunteers to help "improve" the world.

Fourth, what kind of improvements are we talking about? Is it really beneficial, or does it just help with foreign government agendas?

Fifth, would there be any "extra's" that those parts of the world have to take on? Would they be called upon later on to help even when they cannot? Help usually have strings attached, and they would force obligation on the beneficiary to return the favor at a later time.

Of course, if the parts of the world wants to be improved, and there is the resources and funds to do so, then yes, Roosevelt is right in "improving" those parts of the world.
