Ottoman Empire Armenian Genocide Refers to the deliberate and systematic

destruction of the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire during and just after World War I (about 1915 – 1918). It was implemented through wholesale massacres and deportations, with the deportations consisting of forced marches under conditions designed to lead to the death of the deportees. The total number of resulting Armenian deaths is generally held to have been between one and one and a half million.

Cambodian Genocide When

1975 to 1979 Where

Cambodia Estimated Numbers

1.7 million people killed out of a population of 8 million (21% of the country's population).

A small Communist group, the Khmer Rouge, grew in popularity in Cambodia, and by 1975 was able to take over.

In asserting its new power, the Party began a campaign of cleansing from 1975 to 1978. The state under their rule required the destruction of cities and the foreign-educated elite in order to rustify, or to make the country more rural. The goal was a centralized communal organization of atheistic factory workers and peasant

farmers free of external support. Cities were raided and people relocated to communal farms. Most people were left to starve or work to death.

Ethnically, the targets of the cleansing were Vietnamese and Chinese nationals, Muslims, and Buddhist monks. They all were virtually, if not entirely, eliminated from the population by expulsion, execution, or starvation.
