Self-Immomilation: China's Illegal Occupation Of Tibet

Once the PLA gained control over Tibet, they began to remove rights from citizens. The Chinese began their acts of terror by threatening the Dalai Lama, causing action to be taken by the extremely religious Tibetans and for the Dalai Lama to leave his country and flee to safety in India. This entire plan made Tibet vulnerable to attacks from China. China began to rid Tibet of all freedoms, and is even said in the “Massacres in Tibet” article, it states that “In Tibet today, there is no freedom of speech, religion, or press and arbitrary detainments continue” (Choesang). Ever since the beginning of the genocide and even in modern times, “Forced abortion, sterilization of Tibetan women and the transfer of low income Chinese citizens threaten the survival of Tibet 's unique culture” (Choesang).The strongest dehumanization however was the multiple attacks in Tibetan Buddhism and cultural standings of the people of Tibet.

One English teacher working abroad found that his Mongolian students found the Chinese to be horrible people, stating that, “…all Chinese are by nature untrustworthy, dirty, and they have always been and will always be enemies of Mongolia.” (“The Lasting Impact”). The Mongolians still loathe the Chinese because of the genocide. They feel that the Chinese will never change. In both cases, very few people remember that either event

Did you know the Khmer Party killed about one in half to three million people during the Cambodian Genocide? They killed many people just because the Democratic Republic of Vietnam didn’t agree with the Khmer agreement they offered. They didn’t accept the Chinese agreement too. On January 17, 1968, Khmer Rouge launched their first offense. It was aimed at gathering weapon and spreading propaganda.

Between 1949 and 1979, over 1.2 million people were either tortured, executed, starved to death, or committed suicide. Tibet has been suffering through this atrocity for decades; furthermore, China plans on destroying their entire lifestyle. Although the foundations of Tibet are strong, China is destroying their culture through invasion, genocide of both culture and people, and the fleeing of the Dalai Lama. Because the Chinese still follow the Seventeen Point Agreement, which states China 's rule over Tibet, they believe they have the authority to change Tibet 's culture to what they seem fit. On the other hand, Tibet declined that agreement and honors their culture as their own.

This quote came from a 19-year-old south Sudanese girl. After fleeing her home due to the violence, she and thousands of others are trapped at camps where civilians are supposedly held “safely”. Men and women live in constant fear at these camps, knowing that at any moment, the army of the opposing ethnicity could at any time come and raid their camp and murder hundreds of people. “South Sudan’s civil war is supposed to be over. In April, after more than two years of conflict that killed tens of thousands of people, the opposition leader, Riek Machar, returned to Juba with nearly 1,400 troops to resume his post as the vice president to his wartime rival, President Salva Kiir.”(Fortin New York Times).

History refers to this time as the era of the Killing Fields since over two million people died from being overworked, dehumanized, malnourishment, and conducting executions both arbitrary and selective, killing anyone they caught attempting or accidentally breaking even minor rules. Also, when people were to

The Armenian Genocide happened during world war one between the year 1915-1918. The turkish gov’t administered and planned to be against the entire Armenian population of the ottoman empire. Several hundred of Armenians people got taken to jail by the Turkish gov’t. After a few months the Armenians were turned out of their homes and sent on death marches through the mesopotamians desert and without water and food, and that was the reason why the Armenians started to not like the Turkish.

However, this would be the Ai Weiwei’s first confrontation with wrath of the chinese authorities. When Ai Weiwei was staying at the hotel in Chengdu, hundreds of police swarmed the hotel, locked Ai Weiwei in the closet and beated him up, preventing him from testifying for his friend. This not only gave fear to Ai Weiwei, but as a result of the beating, he nearly experienced death from internal bleeding in his

From another perspective, the civil war also possessed a negative impact on Chinese. Two parties fought for the position of leader in china, and the Chinese Nationalist Party took toughness action in order to defeat the Communist Party—they caught the men from the public and sent them to the battlefield compulsorily. That destroyed countless family and many soldiers of humble birth were sent to Taiwan after war and obtained no likelihood to go

The Chinese citizens living below the Three Gorges Dam are constantly in fear of their land being destroyed and submerged, and their culture being ripped away piece by piece, all caused by the rising waters of the nearly 600 foot tall dam. The Three Gorges Dam is multi billion dollar project that spans the Yangtze river, and is China 's largest project since the great wall. The dam will drive over 2 million villagers out of their homes and will demolish over 1,000 acres of farmland. The Three Gorges Dam is an overall unsustainable project that will affect millions of people socially and will hurt the environment tremendously. The first reason as to why the Three Gorges Dam is an unsustainable project is because the dam is driving around 2 million Chinese people out of their homes, and will sweep away the hard work and and culture of the villagers.

The Apache “last stand” as it were, was lead by a medicine man and renowned warrior known as Geronimo. Geronimo and his followers had rebelled from the Fort Apache reservation due to the hostile treatment they’d received from the United States military. According to The Journal of Arizona History by Dan L. Thrapp, “In mid-may, 1885, Geronimo and his followers fled the Fort Apache Reservation and remained hostile for fifteen months.” (208). Geronimo’s band held a population of thirty-three men, eight boys of fighting age, and ninety-two women and children. Most United States ' histories of this era report that the final defeat of an Apache band took place when 5,000 US troops forced Geronimo 's band to surrender on September 4, 1886, at

Rahul Mone Mrs. Marsden ELA Honors I 4 February, 2016 The Cambodian Genocide The genocides of Cambodia and the Holocaust were two major genocides that have changed the history of the world forever. The Cambodian genocide started when the Khmer Rouge attempted to nationalize and centralize the peasant farming society of Cambodia (Quinn 63). These ideas came from the Chinese Communist agricultural model. Cambodia had a population of just over 7 million people and almost all of them were buddhists. The genocide started from a harsh climate of political and social turmoil (Krkljes).

Throughout American history the American indians have been cheated and mistreated ever since we came to colonize. Even today as they struggle for support from the government, the need for funding and support was no greater than it was in the 1970’s. These natives were often stripped of their land and heritage and forced to live in reservations with horrible conditions. That all changed on February 27th of 1973 when the self alleged AIM group founded by Russell Means, Dennis Banks, and other notorious tribe leaders stormed the small town of Wounded Knee which was built on the grounds of a sacred burial site were more than 150 indian women and children had been laid to rest after a recent massacre. The militant group held the town for 71 days
