	Pol Pot? Mao?

	Cambodia is indeed missing. Also the "great leap forward" cannot be classified as "genocide", the starving as a result of it wasn't on purpose. Actually the genocide in Bosnia wasn't committed by the country of Serbia (or better Yugoslavia), but by the Bosnian Serbs.

	Blaming every dead Indian in the Americas from 1490 to 1890 on the USA is nonsense; break it into pieces for UK, USA, France, Spain, and Portugal. Throw in the Netherlands if you feel like it. Also, Ukraine and Mayan Indians are spelled wrong.

Comment below threshold: show it

	Argentina? Zanzibar? Guatemala? Somalia? Democratic Republic of the Congo? Burundi? Ethiopia? Tibet and China? Darfur and the Sudan?

	Corms:	Mar 22nd, 2011 at 04:19 GMT	8 points
	@padawanaofpie Milosevic isn't in Serbia hiding from the UN. He died in his prison cell 5 years ago in The Hague while on trial.

	Ivan82:	Mar 22nd, 2011 at 09:18 GMT	3 points
	I would also add the Indonesian invasion in East Timor 1975, tens of thousands were killed. Other regimes also killed a large number of people, like those of Duvalier, Idi Amin, Videla, Mengistu... But I'm not sure if they can be classified as "genocide".

	Shay:	Mar 22nd, 2011 at 14:29 GMT	2 points
	The UK did not exist until 1707 (so can't be an answer for 1645-1660); similarly the USSR began in 1922 so cannot be an answer for 1919-1920.

	@padawanaofpie Milosevic was also from modern day Montenegro. Nice studying !

	CoolBeans:	Mar 22nd, 2011 at 18:07 GMT	3 points
	Missing the genocides currently occurring in Sudan, Myanmar, the DRC, and Palestine. Also this quiz has major balls calling out colonial powers for their actions and I appreciate that a lot.

	Wow, the US makes Nazis look like humanitarians.

	Riko:	Mar 25th, 2011 at 03:28 GMT	3 points
	It's a little rough around the edges but has the potential to be a great quiz, albeit a controversial one. You really must have a credible source to back up these clues: UN, Amnesty International, any collegiate resource, etc.

	somebody once said: "One person dying is a tragedy, 1 mio people dying is just a statistic" -that's so true

	newenglander:	Mar 27th, 2011 at 18:58 GMT	3 points
	not only is blaming every dead Indian on the US nonsense, its also blatantly inaccurate-the US didnt before 1776, so having the years 1490-1890 implies others were involved-UK, spain, france

	dfitz:	Mar 27th, 2011 at 20:51 GMT	1 point
	also as far as I'm aware if you just type in US for the Indian answer it does not auto-recognize this for some reason but it does for the phillipines answer.

	healy34:	Mar 27th, 2011 at 23:48 GMT	2 points
	Please accept "United States" instead of typing in the "of America" part and to echo the sentiments above, please break that up to recognize the Spanish, English, French, Dutch, and other European influences there. I'm not going to wave around how much I "studied" a topic but I thing the Spanish brought small pox and eliminated 85% of the Incan empire in 20 years, that's not even factoring in the Aztecs they attacked as well. The US isn't bloodless by any measure, but that's a bit of a sweeping generalization.

	laminalammina:	Mar 28th, 2011 at 02:51 GMT	1 point
	after some research, i have added UK/England, Spain, France, Portugal and the Netherlands, as they have all been accused of genocide on the native americans.

	balakalak:	Mar 28th, 2011 at 14:51 GMT	2 points
	This is an interesting quiz - well done! Interesting to note that Oliver Cromwell was recently voted as one of the Top 10 Britons of all time (BBC), in spite of his role in genocide in Ireland. Just a point on the Native American stuff - now that you have changed it to include the US and other countries you should not make us guess this in order. Otherwise we have to guess in the same order as you!

	NinedenLtD:	Mar 28th, 2011 at 15:27 GMT	3 points
	I am sympathetic, but concerned with your application of the term genocide. I know you are signifying "accused" genocides, but if that is the case I think it is important to determine who the accuser is and whether the accusation has merit. I cringe whenever I see the word "genocide" bandied about because it has a very specific definition which must include a deliberate, concerted, and premeditated effort to annihilate an entire group based on an essential characteristic of that group.

	ACL:	Mar 28th, 2011 at 21:35 GMT	6 points
	Echoing what NinendenLtD said, 'genocide' is a term specifically coined by the United Nations to deal with the act of destroying or attempting to systematically destroy a racial, national, ethnic or religious group. Now, one can and should argue that political groups should be included - really that word was only left out at the demands of Stalin. However, the fact remains that political groups do not fit the UN definition of genocide. Furthermore, one can easily disagree with whether some of these were truly systematic, especially that of Native Americans, which was carried out largely by communicable disease and piecemeal acts of forced labor, migration, and slaughter at the hands of the countries you mentioned. In terms of true and actual genocide, the US comes closest to the actual definition starting with Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act and ending with frontier clearing in the 1890s - definite acts of ethnic cleansing at the very least.

	Also worth mentioning: Darfur, which is a fairly clear-cut case.

	ConorONeill:	Mar 28th, 2011 at 23:29 GMT	2 points
	Uganda with Idi Amin, that was genocide

	NinedenLtD:	Mar 29th, 2011 at 14:22 GMT	1 point
	@ConorONeill: You're going to have to expand on that.

	@cool beans: dear lord do NOT call palestine a genocide give me a damn break, they attack then get killed, a far cry from a genocide

	quizace:	Apr 1st, 2011 at 22:04 GMT	5 points
	Belgium should definitely be on here for King Leopold's treatment of the Belgian Congo.

	tbwilson:	Jul 24th, 2011 at 08:18 GMT	1 point
	ACL: Evidently you're unaware of the fate of the last Susquehannocks in Pennsylvania, at the hands of the Paxton Boys, or the last Caribs on St. Kitts at Bloody Point. Native Americans were definitely victims of genocide, but you're looking at them solely as a cohesive racial group rather than recognizing their individual ethno-linguistic divisions.

	peterpan:	Feb 1st, 2012 at 03:05 GMT	1 point
	Turkey is accused of genocide against more than Kurds in the time period you mention - more famous is the accusation of genocide against Armenians roughly during WWI. Also, Australia has actually apologized for its genocide against the indigenous people of Australia, so that should be in here. Belgium and the Congo should definitely be here - @quizace is right! I have no trouble with listing all the colonial powers vis a vis American Indians - the quiz says "or accused", so it's avoiding whether each event meets the official definition.
