List of genocides by death toll

The identified remains of 610 Bosniak civilians massacred during the Srebrenica massacre.

The below list of genocides by death toll includes death toll estimates of all deaths that are either directly or indirectly caused by genocide. It does not include non-genocidal mass killing such as the Thirty Years War, the Mongol Holocaust, the Japanese War Holocaust, the Blockade famine and other atrocities during the Nigerian Civil War, the Congolese Holocaust, the 1965 & 66 Indonesian Politicide or the Great Leap Forward.
The United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) defines genocide, in part, as "acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group".[1] Events listed have been characterized as genocide according to the United Nation's CPPCG. Various other definitions can be found in scholarly literature.

Notes

  1. The Holocaust was the systematic, bureaucratic, state-organized, persecution and murder of approximately 6 million Jews by the German Nazi government and its collaborators. Initially it was carried out in German-occupied Eastern Europe by paramilitary death squads (Einsatzgruppen) by shooting or, less frequently, by using ad hoc built gassing vans, and later in extermination camps by gassing.[2] The plan to exterminate the European Jewry (the Final solution to the Jewish question) was the founding element of the Holocaust. Nevertheless many other groups of the civilian population were swallowed by the genocidal frenzy of the Nazi state.[3]
  2. In 2003 Holodomor, the man-made famine in Ukraine, was recognized by the United Nations as the result of cruel actions and policies of the Soviet government of Joseph Stalin that caused millions of deaths,[7] and in 2008 by the European Parliament as a crime against the Ukrainian people, and against humanity.[8] Holodomor is considered a genocide in Ukraine,[9], Australia,[10] Canada,[11] Colombia,[12] Ecuador,[13] Estonia,[14] Georgia,[14] Hungary,[14] Latvia,[14] Lithuania,[14] Mexico,[14] Paraguay,[14] Peru,[14] Poland,[15] and Vatican City,[14] while the Russian Federation views it as part of the wider Soviet famine of 1932-33.[16] Scholars are divided and their debate is inconclusive on whether the Holodomor falls under the definition of genocide.[17]
  3. The Cambodian genocide was carried out by the Khmer Rouge led by Pol Pot[28] who, planning to create a form of agrarian socialism founded on an extremist ideology coupled with ethnic hostility, forced the urban population to relocate savagely to the countryside, among torture, mass executions, forced labor, and starvation. The genocide ended in 1979 with the Cambodian invasion by the Vietnamese army.[29] Up to 20,000 mass graves, the infamous Killing Fields, were uncovered,[30] where at least 1,386,734 murdered victims found their final resting place.[31] On 7 August 2014, two top leaders, Nuon Chea and Khieu Samphan, received life sentences for crimes against humanity.[32]
  4. The Belarusian Genocide is the portion of The Holocaust that occurred in Nazi occupied Soviet Belarus during World War II. It affected the civilian population, of Jewish as well as Belarusian ethnicity, with massacres, genocide by bullet and scorched earth operations that burned to the ground innumerable villages and towns. Belarus suffered the most among the nations occupied by Nazi Germany, with a death toll of over 25% of its' population, even more than Poland (17%).
  5. Some of the violent Ethnic cleansing campaigns of Soviet Union have been recognized as genocide. The Deportation of the Crimean Tatars is recognized as genocide by Ukraine[42] and the Deportation of Chechens is recognized as genocide by the European Parliament.[43]
  6. The extermination of the Armenians, carried out by the Young Turks, led to the coining of the word "genocide". It included massacres, forced deportations involving death marches, mass starvation, and occurred concurrently with the Assyrian and Greek genocides. The State of Turkey denies a genocide ever occurred.
  7. Some 50 perpetrators of the Ruandan genocide have been found guilty by the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, but most others have not been charged due to lack of witness accounts. Another 120,000 were arrested by Rwanda; of these, 60,000 were tried and convicted in the Gacaca court system. Perpetrators who fled into Zaire (Democratic Republic of the Congo) were used as a justification when Rwanda and Uganda invaded Zaire (First and Second Congo Wars). It is recognized by the international community as a genocide.
  8. Raphael Lemkin, who coined the term genocide, referred to the Albigensian Crusade a 20-year military campaign initiated by Pope Innocent III to eliminate Catharism in Languedoc (the south of France) as "one of the most conclusive cases of genocide in religious history" and many other historians share the sentiment that the events of the crusade constitute genocide.[55][56][57][58][59][60] However some disagree with this characterization.[61][62][63]
  9. For the Greek genocide other sources give 450,000-900,000 casualties between Pontic, Cappadocian and Ionians Greeks. The genocide, instigated by the Ottoman government, included massacres, forced deportations involving death marches, summary expulsions, arbitrary executions, and destruction of Greek Orthodox cultural, historical and religious monuments.
  10. The Assyrian genocide is commonly known as "Seyfo" (which means sword in Assyrian). It occurred concurrently with the Armenian and Greek genocides.
  11. Zunghar genocide. The Manchu Qianlong Emperor of Qing China issued his orders for his Manchu Bannermen to carry out the genocide and eradication of the Zunghar nation, ordering the massacre of all the Zunghar men and enslaving Zunghar women and children.[70] The Qianlong Emperor moved the remaining Zunghar people to the mainland and ordered the generals to kill all the men in Barkol or Suzhou, and divided their wives and children to Qing soldiers.[71][72] The Qing soldiers who massacred the Zunghars were Manchu Bannermen and Khalkha Mongols. In an account of the war, Wei Yuan wrote that about 40% of the Zunghar households were killed by smallpox, 20% fled to Russia or the Kazakh Khanate, and 30% were killed by the army, leaving no yurts in an area of several thousands of Chinese miles except those of the surrendered.[73][74][75] Clarke wrote 80%, or between 480,000 and 600,000 people, were killed between 1755 and 1758 in what "amounted to the complete destruction of not only the Zunghar state but of the Zunghars as a people."[73][76] Historian Peter Perdue has shown that the decimation of the Dzungars was the result of an explicit policy of extermination launched by the Qianlong Emperor.[73] Although this "deliberate use of massacre" has been largely ignored by modern scholars,[73] Mark Levene, a historian whose recent research interests focus on genocide, has stated that the extermination of the Dzungars was "arguably the eighteenth century genocide par excellence".[77]
  12. Porajmos (Romani pronunciation: IPA: [pʰoɽajˈmos]), or Samudaripen ("Mass killing"), the Romani genocide or Romani Holocaust, was the planned and attempted effort by the government of Nazi Germany and its allies to exterminate the Romani people of Europe. On 26 November 1935 a supplementary decree to the Nuremberg Laws defined the Gypsies as "enemies of the race-based state", the same category as the Jews.[78] Thus, in some way they endured the same fate.[79] In 1982, West Germany formally recognized that genocide had been committed against the Romani.[80] In 2011 the Polish Government passed a resolution for the official recognition of the 2nd of August as a day of commemoration of the genocide.[81]
  13. Genocide by the Ustaše. The government of the Independent State of Croatia murdered Serbs, Jews, Romani and antifascist Croats and Bosnian Muslims inside its borders, many in concentration camps, like the infamous Jasenovac camp. Ante Pavelić, the leader of the Ustaše, enacted racial laws similar to those of Nazi Germany, declaring Jews, Romani and Serbs "enemies of the people of Croatia".[85]
  14. A academic consensus holds that the Indonesian occupation of East Timor amounted to genocide.[90] For twenty-four years the Indonesian government subjected the people of East Timor to extrajudicial executions, routine and systematic torture, massacres and deliberate starvation.[91]
  15. Burundian genocide. In the long sequence of civil fights that occurred between Tutsi and Hutu since Burundi's independence in 1962, the 1972 mass killings of Hutu by the Tutsi and the 1993 mass killings of Tutsis by the majority-Hutu populace are both described as genocide in the final report of the International Commission of Inquiry for Burundi presented to the United Nations Security Council in 1996.
  16. The Kurdish genocide also known as al-Anfal campaign (Arabic: حملة الأنفال), [101] was a series of genocidal operations[102] against the Kurdish people and other non-Arab populations in northern Iraq, that was led by the Ba'athist Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and was headed by Ali Hassan al-Majid in the final stages of the Iran–Iraq War. The code name chosen by the former Iraqi Baathist government for this campaign takes its name from Surat al-Anfal, the eighth chapter of the Quran. The Anfal operations also targeted Assyrians, Shabaks, Iraqi Turkmens, Yazidis, Jews, Mandaeans, and many villages belonging to these ethnic groups were also destroyed. The Anfal campaign was recognized as a genocide by Norway, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and South Korea.
  17. Guatemalan genocide. The government forces of Guatemala and allied paramilitary groups have been condemned by the Historical Clarification Commission for committing genocide against the Maya population[106][107] and for widespread human rights violations against civilians during the civil war fought against various leftist rebel groups. At least an estimated 200,000 persons lost their lives by arbitrary executions, forced disappearances and other human rights violations.[108] A quarter of the direct victims of human rights violations and acts of violence were women.[109]
  18. The Herero and Namaqua Genocide was the campaign to exterminate the Herero and Nama people that the German Empire undertook in German South-West Africa (modern-day Namibia). It is considered one of the first genocides of the 20th century.
  19. The Bosnian genocide comprises localized, in time and place, massacres like in Srebrenica[115] and in Žepa committed by Bosnian Serb forces in 1995, as well as the scattered ethnic cleansing campaign throughout areas controlled by the Army of Republika Srpska[116] that took place during the 1992–1995 Bosnian War.[117] The Srebrenica massacre is the most recent act of genocide committed in Europe and is the only event of the war that fulfills the definition of genocide set by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia. On 31 March 2010 the Serbian Parliament passed a resolution condemning the Srebrenica massacre and apologizing to the families of Srebrenica for the deaths of Bosniaks.[118]
  20. The Selk'nam Genocide was the genocide of the Selk'nam people, indigenous inhabitants of Tierra del Fuego in South America, from the second half of the 19th to the early 20th century. Spanning a period of between ten and fifteen years the Selk'nam, which had an estimated population of some three thousand, saw their numbers reduced to 500.[122]
  21. Bangladesh genocide. Massacres, killings, rape, arson and systematic elimination of religious minorities (particularly Hindus), political dissidents and the members of the liberation forces of Bangladesh were conducted by the Pakistan Army with support from paramilitary militias—the Razakars, Al-Badr and Al-Shams—formed by the radical Islamist Jamaat-e-Islami party.[125]
  22. The Genocide of Yazidis, Christians, and Shias ' by ISIS includes mass killing, rape and enslavement of girls and women, forced abduction, indoctrination and recruitment of Yazidis boys (aged 7 to 15) to be used in armed conflicts, forced conversion to Islam and expulsion from their ancestral land. The United Nations' Commission of Inquiry on Syria officially declared in its report that ISIS is committing genocide against the Yazidis population.[140] It is difficult to assess a precise figure for the killings[141] but it is known that some thousand of Yazidis men and boys are still unaccounted for and ISIS genocidal actions against Yazidis people are still ongoing, as stated by the International Commission in June 2016. The European Union, the British Parliament, and the United States unanimously recognize the treatment of Christian minorities under ISIL's control as genocide.[142][143][144][145][146][147][148] John Kerry called the treatment of Shias by ISIL genocide.[149][150]

  5. Early efforts by scholars to determine the number of Jews murdered by the Nazis were limited by a lack of access to pertinent records. The genocide seldom entered Western discourse, both due to ignorance and to the Cold-War politics which made West Germany a new ally of the United States.The first significant work on the subject published in English was Gerald Reitlinger's Final Solution (1953), which, relying almost exclusively on German documentation, estimated 4.9 million dead. This figure is now considered extremely conservative. Raul Hilberg's 1961 The Destruction of the European Jews, a classic in the field of Holocaust literature, estimates its victims to be 5.1 million lives, or 4.9 - 5.4 million broadly construed. The trial of Adolph Eichmann also provided documentation and testimony which revised the number of the dead.The first work to arrive at a figure comparable to modern estimates was Lucy Dawidowicz's The War Against the Jews, published in 1975, which provided detailed listings by country of the number of Jews killed in the Holocaust. It is still used as a reference in modern Holocaust studies. Dawidowicz researched birth and death records in many cities of prewar Europe to come up with 5,933,900 murdered Jews. After the opening of Soviet records, scholarship arrived at a death toll of about 6 million Jews. Gutman and Rozett's Encyclopedia of the Holocaust, published in 1990, gives a figure of slightly over 5.9 million Jews killed. Wolfgang Benz's The Holocaust: A German Historian Examines the Genocide, published in 1995, gives a toll of 6.2 million.

  24. Snyder, Timothy (2010). Bloodlands: Europe Between Hitler and Stalin. London: The Bodley Head. p. 53. ISBN 978-0224081412. One demographic retrojection suggests a figure of 2.5 million famine deaths for Soviet Ukraine. This is too close to the recorded figure of excess deaths, which is about 2.4 million. The latter figure must be substantially low, since many deaths were not recorded. Another demographic calculation, carried out on behalf of the authorities of independent Ukraine, provides the figure of 3.9 million dead. The truth is probably in between these numbers, where most of the estimates of respectable scholars can be found. It seems reasonable to propose a figure of approximately 3.3 million deaths by starvation and hunger-related disease in Soviet Ukraine in 1932–1933.

Of the estimated six to eight million people who died in the Soviet Union, about four to five million were Ukrainians. ... Its deliberate nature is underscored by the fact that no physical basis for famine existed in Ukraine. ... Soviet authorities set requisition quotas for Ukraine at an impossibly high level.

Ethnic split: At independence, Nigeria had a federal constitution comprising three regions defined by the principal ethnic groups in the country – the Hausa and Fulani in the north, Yoruba in the south-west, and Ibo in the south-east. Crowd The fighting led to famine and chaos but as the military took over in the mid-1960s, and the economic situation worsened, ethnic tensions broke out.
