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.
