UPDATED: Genocide

Genocideis the systematic destruction of people, belonging to a group, nationality, religion or race.

The UN list of genocides (16 at this moment (August 2014)) with almost 30 million people killed is not complete. I need to note that the large (by numbers) genocides are performed by the Mongols (in the year 1200 and after) where 50-70 million people died and Stalin with hisgenocide, killing 43-60 million people! Mongolian killings and genocides were used as a strategy in war. If a town did not surrender, everyone (except two persons, who were released the spread the message (just like ISIS)) would be killed in the most dreadful way as possible. A strategy copied by ISIS by the way. Stalin's killing and genocide were ordered with the purpose to make large changes in the USSR, to enable it producing enough food for the population (he failed). Hitler's killings and genocides were a systematical campaign to kill 11 million people, like the Jews, Communists, Gypsies and many others. The US genocide to the native Indians was a systematical campaign to free the Indian lands. Turkey's multiple genocides of the Greeks and Armenians were part of the carnage during and after the first World War. Other genocides were performed by various parties, performed in incredible indescribable cruelty. Armenian Genocide. Ottoman government's systematic extermination of its minority Armenian subjects from their historic homeland within the territory constituting the present-day Republic of Turkey. 1.5 million people died.

Overview of democide (numbers in millions)

Note Democide is a term revived and redefined by the political scientist R.J. Rummel as "the murder of any person or people by their government, including genocide, politicide and mass murder."

Even when it is not declared genocide by the UN and does not appear in their lists, it was genocide for sure. Georgian historian Roy Aleksandrovich Medvedev published a paper in 1989 at the weekly tabloid Argumenti i Fakti the following details.

Notes

Genocide by the Mongolians

The minimum and least accounted state of deaths of people during the Mongolian conquests amounts to minimum 30 million and up to 50 or even 70 million people (might have) died under the Mongolian Empire.

  • The Mongols offered cities to surrender before they would be all killed (David Nicolle, The Mongol Warlords: Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, Hulegu, Tamerlane (2004) p. 21).

  • The aim was spreading terror throughout the world. The Mongols would kill anyone, except skilled engineers and artisans.

  • The total population in Persia droppedfrom 2,500,000 to 250,000 as a result of the Mongol terror and killings.

  • Chinese dynasties had approximately 120 million inhabitants; after the conquest was completed in 1279, the 1300 census reported roughly 60 million people.

  • About half the population of Russia may have died during the Mongol invasion of Rus.

  • Historians estimate that up to half of Hungary's population of two million were victims of the Mongol invasion of Europe.

  • Catapulting diseased corpses over city walls to infect the population. The use of such infected bodies during the siege of Caffa is alleged to have brought the Black Deathto Europe by some sources

Note ISIS is obviously copying (parts of) the strategy the Mongols were using.
