Dutch slavery in Indonesia

Belgium's brutal treatment of the Congolese

The brutal slaughtering of people by the Mongols

Israel persecution of Muslims and Christians (societal and, less so, governmental)

Bosnian genocide and all other atrocities in the Balkans during the Breakup of Yugoslavia.

And I'll just put that out,every nation that ever persecuted Jews (their modern equivalents). Which is..

Iraq
Egypt
Saudi Arabia
Yemen
Oman
Iran
Turkey
France
Italy
Spain
Portugal
UK
Denmark
Germany
Russia
Ukraine
Latvia
Lithuania
Poland
Estonia
Austria
Hungary
Romania
Serbia
Moldova
Belgium
Netherlands
Ireland
Israel
Syria
Lebanon
I could go on forever.
Yes, Israel has had problems with Muslims, but such acts are more politically inclined, and not at all Christians.

Turkey for killing the Armenians. oh that was taken? Ok. England and France for cutting up the middle east to sow future conflict.

We already covered that.

not the england/france stuff. Additionally, I blame the USSR for invading Finland in 1939 for no reason other than expansion.

What Israel has done, in their case, is completely justifiable.

I 100% agree, Christians and Muslims do not deserve to live; why must they be so dumb?

And I'll just put that out,every nation that ever persecuted Jews (their modern equivalents). Which is..

Out of your list, most of these countries just had standard xenophobia - they hated Muslims (if they were Christian) and Christians (if they were Muslim), too. And make a list of 1948-on, I bet it will be much less.

Also, just because your ethnicity has been genocided does not mean you must genocide.

That nature alone is good which refrains from doing another whatsoever is not good for itself.

Russia : countless genocides (don't you dare to deny it, Xapy) and free trips to Siberia (Irkutsk was at one point majoritarly Catholic), also their laughable pretentions to all the land the Kievan Rus' once owned (Moscow was inhabited by Ugro-Finnic people back when the Rus was created, besides, culturally, they have little to do with Kievans). Expelled people from the Kresy (eastern Polish land before WWII) to the "retaken" land from Germany. Imprisoned and executed many people who fought Germany in WWII as "criminals" and "nazis" (which is an especially hideous crime). Of course, let us not bring all the cruelty of the tsars back in the old days.

Germany : I think we all know their most famous crimes, so not going to bring them up there. But there were pretentions to the land of the Teutonic Order (just because the Teutons were German?). And then, the Kulturkampf. Also, they had a truce with Poland before they invaded them in WWII...

Turkey : Armenian genocide. It was an especially horrible one. Also, they don't even admit they did it...

Serbia : Srebrenica. Many other cultural and religious genocides in the Balkans.

America : Where should we start, really? Don't know, so I'll just say what comes up to my mind : the war with Iraq (pointless and brought chaos to the Middle East), providing the future Taliban with weapons (foolish move...), Hiroshima and Nagasaki (well... maybe it was war, but still) and the apartheid system.

Japan : Signed a treaty for mutual peace with other countries. Invaded Manchuria. That's plain hypocrisy.
Massacre in Nanqing or what was it called like. Taking Korean and Chinese women as sex slaves.

Poland : (just to not make Xapy counter my words) Had a large population of Jews, but they were never accepted and there were many "pogroms" in which Polishmen burned the Jews's houses and also killed them occasionally out of pure envy, treated East Slavic minorities in the Commonwealth like under-people or not people at all at times.

I could name many other crimes for almost every state in the world, of course.

Armenians : killing 1-1.5 millions Ottoman citizens
Ottoman Empire : killing 700.000-1.2 Armenians during deport to Syria
USA : Middle East
France : Napoleon
UK : Producing war for profit
Germany : Austrian man named Hitler coming to power
Jews : damn lots of muslims dying
Saudi : womans obey males
China : Turks in West , Mongolians in North and Tibetians (thats what they are called right?) in south and many more gets killed
Most of Middle East countries : Terrorists LOTS OF THEM

War with the whole Europe also wars in The New World also did i mention The Invasion of Russia which resulted in tons of deaths ? Yes he did bring tons of new stuff to the world but negative things he did is way more than the actual good things

Hahaha when and how did the Armenians kill 1,5 million Ottomans? Don't be ridiculous.

The rest I agree with. And Death, its called the 'Rape of Nanking,' but I've seen several spellings of that city.

Russia for the Ukrainian genocide, or Holodomor, of the 30's.

Most of the Armenians did side with Russia during WW1 They even killed Armenians who were neutral or loyal to Ottoman Empire why would Ottomans waste money resources and manpower to deport Armenians to syria for no reason during wartime ?

Britain: Looted subcontinental India's wealth, starving millions and causing much of the poverty present today in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan.
Enslaved tens of thousands of West Africans, and shipped them to America to labor in fields and mines.

Ancient Egypt: Suppressed and forced the Nubians to toil in gold mines for centuries.

Spain and Portugal: Stole the silver and riches of the Incas and Aztecs and destroyed those civilizations

Mongols: The sack of Delhi, the destruction of Baghdad, of Ryazan and Aleppo. The invasion of Hungary.

Crusaders: The massacre of Jerusalem's Muslims

Armenia was divided between both the Ottoman Empire and the Russian Empire, so yes Armenians fought on both sides. However, the Ottoman Armenians enlisted in proportionatly greater numbers than their Turk and Kurdish nieghbours as many hoped that an Ottoman Victory would re-unite Armenia under the Ottoman Empire.

The United States was neutral in 1915 so they had an embassy and several consulates across the region. Their ambassadors were free to move around and they documented the atrocities. The US Government has since uploaded these documents for free online, and all their official transcripts dating from 1980 to the 1800's.

"these new crimes against humanity and civilisation" - the first ever use of that phrase.

The word 'genocide' was later coined to describe what the Turks did to the Armenians.

As for why did they waste their resources to massacre their own people during wartime, because the Young Turks were paranoid, racist fuckwits. You may also have noticed that massacring your own people during a war is not uncommon, the Nazi's did it 30 years later using the Turks as a blueprint.

It is still not a 'genocide' they were deporting them if it was a genocide the army there at the time would just massacre whole villages with ease.
The reason lots of Armenians died is Ottoman Empire at the time was VERY poor seeing that opportunity lots of criminals attacked the deported armenians , food was hard to find and lastly sickness took the death toll to a different level.
Now what Armenians did is betrayel and genocide aganist Turks , if they did not side with Russia deportation would never happen in the first place

EDIT : The ones who did not side with Russia got killed anyways by their own kin
EDIT : Also yes i am not refusing the fact Young Turks killed Armenians but the number who got killed by YTs is around 100.000 at most

It's a genocide if you take you ethnic Armenian soldiers off the front lines, get them to dig giant pits, and then shoot them.
Its a genocide if you go into villages, take out the men, line them up and shoot up to 300,000 of them off bridges, into pits and buildings.
Its a genocide when you march women, children and the elderly around a desert raping, beating and shooting them until they died in their hundreds of thousands.
Its a genocide of you sell the same women and children into slavery along the death marches. Its a genocide if you nail dead bodies of little girls to pieces of wood to mock their faith.
And its a genocide if you spend the next 100 years making up pathetic lies to cover your own asses after committing one of the worst atrocities in the history of the world.
