It's interesting to note that "genocide" did not exist before 1940 - WWII.
ReplyDeleteprobably the word started being used frequently after the end to the Nazi Holocaust.
ReplyDeleteUm, that was what I meant.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the very generic definition.... Any signs of life here?
ReplyDeletethere was "ethnic/religious group" killing happening all the time, not only after WWII
ReplyDeleteso the word was created at that time(WWII)?
According to Wikipedia, "genocide" was coined by Raphael Lemkin in 1944.
ReplyDeleteand we shall conclude Wikipedia as a trustable source. Actually, I now officially anounce Wikipedia as an acceptable and reliable source for VOR.
