In fleeing, “the Herero people were scattered and many of them died of starvation and thirst as they fled through the Omaheke desert,” and “about 12 000 of the remaining Herero were forced to surrender and were placed in concentration camps where medical experiments as well as daily executions took place” (“Herero Revolt 1904-1907”). This event alone caused the death of 80% of the Herero people in Namibia (“Herero Revolt

The Rwandan Genocide is one of the most recent genocides in history, occurring in 1994 from April to July. This genocide was caused by growing ethnic segregation between two groups that resulted in brutal murderings and a question that is asked to this day: Why didn’t the UN or any other major power step in to help stop these atrocities?

During the 1970s, a regime known as the Khmer Rouge desired to erase the current structure of the Cambodian state and to replace it with a classless society based on agricultural reform; however, their primary goals were not appealing to most of the population. This led the leader, Saloth Sar, known by his nom de guerre Pol Pot, and his organization to implement repressive and murderous rule to maintain control in restoring the country to an agrarian society.
