Genocidios en la historia

Para las horas de moral alta y creencia ciega en la humanidad recomiendo leer el recorrido que hace la Wikipedia sobre genocidios en la historia. Independientemente de que sea exhaustiva o carezca de objetividad en alguno de sus puntos, creo que no tiene desperdicio. Os dejo con la definición y el índice (todo en inglés):

Genocide is the mass killing of a group of people, as defined by Article 2 of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide (CPPCG) as "any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group, as such: killing members of the group; causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life, calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; [and] forcibly transferring children of the group to another group."[1]
