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.

Answer:
Interaction between Native Americans—the people Columbus called “Indians”–and other Americans, has taken place in every period of American history. Although white people—especially the early colonists—accepted much from the natives, they rarely considered Indians their equals. In the second half of the 19th century, conflict
between whites and natives was at its worst.
In this part you’ll investigate the question: How did interaction with other Americans
affect Native American societies?
Investigation: Plains Tribal Culture
When societies with differing cultures come in contact, differing ways of acting and thinking often cause problems. A society that believes each tree holds the spirit of an ancestor is likely to take a dim view of a logging crew. A society that lives by exact “clock time” may have problems interacting with another group that uses more relaxed “sun time.”
The cultures—the ideas and ways of acting—of the Native American tribes were not all alike. Nevertheless, many tribes were similar. Those living in the Great Plains (Cheyenne, Sioux, and Comanche, for example) shared many ideas and ways of acting, as did those in the Rocky Mountains. All reacted similarly when pioneers moved into their territory in the second half of the 1800s.
