Have you ever seen people from different race or different religions get tortured or over powered by other people from another religion or race. In Germany their was a war called the holocaust which the Germans over powered the Jews because of their religion and because a man named Hitler who led the German army didn’t like them either. What happened in Germany was a genocide. It all started In 1941 when Germany attacks eastern Poland to start the holocaust. By the end of the year 440,000 Jews were shot or kill by the Germans. After all those Jews killed the Germans still didn’t stop killing the Jews. They started opening concentration camps to put the Jews in and if the camps were to full the Germans would have taken the rest of the Jews and killed them. The war kept going some of the Jews escaped and survived the holocaust. They said that in one point Hitler committed suicide and then the German army surrendered because they couldn’t do anything without a leader. The definition for genocide is any of the following acts committed with in tent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. My country Germany relates to the definition of genocide because the Germans destroyed the homes of the Jews they also torture them by killing the olds and the young’s they also over powered the Jews so the Jews couldn’t escape or do anything or else they would be killed. They also forced the Jews to go into concentration camps and if the Jews didn’t follow orders the Germans would have killed them. The Germans never gave the Jews food so the Jews would starve to death and that’s another way that some Jews would die. The first stage of genocide is classification. Classification is when to segregate different people into categories such as ethnicity, religion, race, and nationality in each country. The Germans separated the Jews for they won’t mistake them as a German. Thus the German genocide does meet the stage of classification. The second stage of genocide is symbolization. Symbolization is when to recognize people by symbols to know their religion or race. The Germans put a gold star on the Jews and number to recognize that they are Jews. Thus the German genocide does meet stage of symbolization. The third stage of genocide is dehumanization. Dehumanization is when a group of people ignored by another group of people. In Germany the Germans ignored the Jews on what they wanted to do. Thus the German genocide meet the stage of dehumanization. The fourth stage of genocide is organization. Organization is when plans to transport to different group. In Germany the Germans transport the Jews into concentration camp. Thus the German genocide does meet the stage of organization. The fifth stage of genocide is polarization. Polarization is when extremists, such as Nazis dedicated their time to separate groups such as victims and perpetrators. In Germany the Jews were the victims and the perpetrators. Thus the German genocide does meet stage of polarization. The sixth stage of genocide is extermination. Extermination is when a group in power sponsored by the state or armed forces, wiping out another group to eaves them from the earth completely. In Germany the Germans wanted to get rid of the Jews completely. Thus the German genocide does meet stage of extermination. The seventh stage of genocide is denial. Denial is when to cover up the tracks of genocide and deny everything that was happened. In Germany the Germans would always lie to the Jews about everything and then deny that they didn’t lie. Thus the German genocide does meet the stage of denial. In conclusion, that’s how the 8 stages of genocide relate to the German genocide which is the holocaust. In 1941 that’s when it all started when the Germans which are the Nazis came and over powered the Jews and tortured them also. What happened in Germany is genocide.

 **Sudan**

 In Northern Africa the country of Sudan is facing some problems. There are over 500 ethnic groups and tribes which means that they have their differences. Not everybody speaks the same language, there are some people that speak Arabic, others speak english, and over 400 speak indigenous languages and dialects. Also, not everybody has the same religion because there are Muslims, Christians, and indigenous religions. It is hard to compromise when there is a big diversity. All the disagreements that are happening in Sudan has lead into a genocide.  In the early 2003-present rebel groups from Fur, Zaghawa, and Masalit began attacking the government targets because they said that the government is oppressing black Africans in favor of Arabs. The main rebel groups are Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and Justice and Equality Movement (JEM). In oder to stop that the government created a force know as the Janjaweed which let them kill, torture, rape, destroy, and do many other thing against the civilians from those groups. One of the weapons that Janjaweed used against those groups is starvation. They attack civilian food production and supplies. Its a war that we don’t know when its going to end and its a fact that is genocide against those groups.  What is happening in Sudan its a genocide because according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum a genocide is: “any of the following acts committed with the 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; Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group”. The definition of genocide is very similar to what is happening in Sudan. According to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Sudan they “Use of mass starvation and mass forcible displacement as a weapon of destruction; Pattern of obstructing humanitarian aid; Harassment of internally displaced persons; Bombing of hospitals, clinics, schools, and other civilian sites; Use of rape as a weapon against targeted groups; Employing a divide-to-destroy strategy of pitting ethnic groups against each other, with enormous loss of civilian life; Training and supporting ethnic militias who commit atrocities; Destroying indigenous cultures; Enslavement of women and children by government-support militias; Impeding and failing to fully implement peace agreements”. All those acts of violence are the ones that lead to the conclusion that what is happening in Sudan it is a genocide.  The first stage of genocide is classification. Classification is when the population is categorize into two different groups. In Sudan the government divided Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa from the rest of the population. Thus Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa does meet the stage of classification because they are being outcasted from the rest of the population. The second stage of genocide is symbolization. Symbolization is when people is being classify by certain names, symbols, or characteristics. In Sudan the government classify the different ethnic groups. Thus Sudan genocide does meet the stage of symbolization.  The third stage of genocide is dehumanization. Dehumanization is when a group people is being ignored by other group of people. In Sudan the government ignore Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa ethnic groups. Thus Sudan genocide does meet the stage of dehumanization because the government is not treating those groups like humans. The fourth stage of genocide is organization. Organization is when a group of people plan to get rid off the other group of people. In Sudan the government is trying to get rid off the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa groups. Thus Sudan genocide does meet the stage of organization.  The fifth stage of genocide is polarization. Polarization is when somebody dedicates time to separate certain groups. In Sudan Omar Al-Bashir is using all his power to destroy and separate Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa groups. Thus Sudan genocide does meet the stage of polarization. The sixth stage of genocide is preparation. Preparation is when people segregate others and they are force to wear symbols to identify them from other groups. In Sudan, Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa groups are being destroy by the government because those groups created some rebel groups that attacked the government and now the government has the right to eliminate people from those groups if they can identify them. Thus Sudan genocide does meet the stage of preparation.  The seventh stage of genocide is extermination. Extermination is when a group in power tries to eliminate another group. In Sudan according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum “there are reasonable grounds to believe that Mr. Al Bashir acted with specific intent to destroy in part the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa ethnic groups”. Thus Sudan genocide does meet the stage of preparation. The eighth stage of genocide is denial. Denial is when somebody tries to cover up the tracks of the genocide and deny everything that has happen. In Sudan according to Omar Al-Bashir he is innocent of all the things that he is being accuse from because the government is just doing what they have to do. Thus Sudan genocide does meet the stage of denial.  In conclusion all the things that are happening in Sudan is a genocide. People are traumatized by the experience of torture and losing members. Also, people are being emotional and physical affected. The fact that certain groups are being treated like animals that makes those acts a genocide. To conclude, in Sudan people from Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa ethnic groups are living a genocide.      Elizabeth Sotelo World History Per.3 [ group 1 ] Sudan’s Genocide

Sudan is located in the northeastern of Africa. Sudan is the largest country in Africa and the Arab world. Sudan is also considered to be the tenth largest country in the world by area. The history of Sudan is mostly known to have lots of violence and desolation due to conflicts and wars. Sudan’s north is Muslim and Arabic-speaking; the people are dark but not black Africans. The south is black and mostly Christian. Because of background information I found, I will say that what happened in Sudan was genocide.

The rebels said that the government was helping economically the Arabs communities while black Africans were suffering in the deserted regions they were located. The rebels also expressed that the government was oppressing black Africans. That was the main reason for which two different groups appeared: Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and Justice and Equality Movement (JEM). In February 2003 the two groups decided to stop and force the government to end with the division they were creating between black Africans and the Arabs. As a response to their attack, the government formed the Janjaweed to protect themselves.

The war between the Government of the north and south rebel groups, basically, was a struggle for control of natural resources. The collapse of North’s economy by the systematic exploitation of the soil forced Northern mercantile leaders to expand their economic activities towards the South. It is there where the fertile lands of Renk, oil zone of Bentiu and deposits of nickel and uranium were found. And these are of interest to the Sudanese Government. The Government needed to get rid of black Africans living in the south. Their strategy focused on practicing mass deportations of black Africans into inhospitable areas.

The Arabs soldiers had killed 400.000 people and around 2.7 million black Africans were forced to leave their homes. The majority were spread out in different points of Sudan. Others had run away to Chad. Many are in refugee camps and other organizations whose help they depend for their survival. The rest are scattered along Sudan’s border, in extreme conditions. The word Genocide means any act committed with intention to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group. What happened in Sudan was genocide.

Sudan’s black Africans faced classification and symbolization during the period of genocide. Classification happens when people is divided by ethnicity, race, religion, or nationality. In Sudan, black Africans were divided from Arabs. Symbolization happens when people is forced to wear something that could identify them. In Sudan, black Africans were not forced to wear something but instead they were targeted because of the color of their skin.

Sudan’s black Africans faced dehumanization and organization. Dehumanization happens when people are treated like animals. In Sudan, black Africans women were raped, children were sold as slaves, and men were simply killed. Food was scarce and diseases started to appear. Black Africans did not receive any aid; they were dying slowly. Organization happens when people are transported to different destinations. In Sudan, the Nubas, one of many groups of black Africans, were sent to “peace villages” where women were raped by government soldiers. Their children were taken from them and sent to the North as slaves. Over 100,000 Nubas disappeared and no one knows currently what really happened to them.

Sudan’s black Africans faced polarization and preparation. Polarization happens when people are forbidden from social interaction with other people. Black Africans were forbidden to have children with Arabs because the Arabs were superior to them, but even though that was demanded to be obeyed many Arabs raped many women. Preparation happens when people are separated because of their ethnic or religious identities. The Arabs wanted resources the south had. The Arabs were Muslim while most black Africans were Christian. There was a separation between those two groups because of their different religions.

Sudan’s black Africans faced extermination and denial. Extermination happens when the group in power wipes out another group. The genocide was directed against the Dinka, Nuer, Shilluk and Nuba. Tens of thousands were sold as slaves. Christian churches, schools and hospitals were destroyed. The government kept food from reaching the south knowing full well that people there were dying of hunger; 70.000 persons died of hunger. Government bombings spread terror and caused 700,000 Dinka to flee their homes. Denial happens when the perpetrators deny that they committed any crime. The Government refused and continues to deny until now that what happened in Sudan was genocide. The Government said there were disputes and massacres, but they denied that there was such a thing as genocide.

Different organizations have accused the Government of Sudan of practicing genocide. Sudan’s government is accused of deporting black Africans to inhospitable areas, condemning them to hunger for lack of resources, raping women, and capturing children to indoctrinate them militarily or make them slaves. According to some estimates, more than 85% of the population of southern Sudan has been displaced. Throughout the years, peace treaties were attempted to be created between black Africans and Arabs, but all have been unsuccessful. It is painful to know that this genocide is still happening nowadays and many people keep dying in Sudan.

There may have been some debating of which Rwanda was actually a genocide or not. According to Genocide Watch: The International Campaign to End Genocide, there are 8 stages to define a genocide. These 8 stages include Classification, Symbolization, Dehumanization, Organization, Polarization, Preparation, Extermination, and Denial. What happened in Rwanda was a genocide because of these 8 stages. <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">There were incidents before the genocide began in the year 1994 that lead up to the genocide in Rwanda. This mass killing was between two tribes, the Hutu and the Tutsi. Both tribes were working together in business of farming. The Hutu people worked on the land doing labor work while the Tutsis were landowners. The Hutu population outnumbered the Tutsi**.** After the Europeans chose the Tutsi to be educated 'intermediaries' between the governor and governed. This of course caused the Tutsis to act as aristocrats while the Hutus were being treated like nothing more than peasants. In 1956 - 1959 the Hutus rebelled and became in power, stripping the Tutsis land. The Tutsi the formed the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) and trained soldiers. The rivalry grew between the two tribes. More incidents happened leading to the purposely attack of the plane crash carrying the Rwandans president. This was what the Hutus needed to start the 'Final Solution'. <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">According to Dictionary.Reference, the definition of genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. Which means a certain group being wiped out because of their label. Rwanda compares to the definition of genocide because of the reasoning of the reasoning of the mass killing. The Hutus chose to wipe out the Tusti population because of how they acted and what they did. This incident compares to the definition of genocide. <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The 1st stage of genocide is Classification. Classification is when people are divided by ethnicity, race, religion, nationality, or social placement. Its the segregation of people. In Rwanda they divided teh population into two groups, the Hutu and the Tutsi. This compares to the first stage because they are being separated. The 2nd stage is Symbolization. Symbolization is when a certain group of people are forced to wear something that could identify then or is symbolizing them as something. In Rwanda they symbolized the Tutsi as aristocrats and the Hutus as peasants. This meets the stage of symbolization <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The 3rd stage of genocide is Dehumanization. Dehumanization is when a group of people is ignored by another group of people. They treat them like criminals. In Rwanda, the Hutus treated the Tutsi like cockroaches and put them in cages. Thus this compares to the dehumanization stage. The 4th stage of genocide is Organization. Organization is when they plan to transport to different groups to their destination. In Rwanda, the Hutus planed to put the Tutsi tribe in cages and planed to kill them. Thus this compares to the organization stage because it was planed. <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The 5th stage is Polarization. Polarization is the dedication of time to separate certain groups. Victims are forbidden from social interaction with other people. In Rwanda, the Hutus was taught to see themselves as oppressed and therefore rebelling against Tutsi tribe. The Hutus forbid the Tutsis from being in secondary schools and universities. Thus this compares to the Polarization stage. The 6th stage of genocide is Preparation. Preparation is the segregation of certain groups. People are forced to wear symbols to identify them from other groups. In Rwanda, the Hutsu stripped the Tustis from their land, causing some Tutsis to retreat to another country. Thus this compares to the preparation stage of genocide. <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">The 7th stage of genocide is Extermination. Extermination is when a group in power sponsored by the state or armed forces, wiping out another group. To erase them from the earth completely. In Rwanada, the Hutus chose to kill every Tusti and get rid of their population. Therefore this meets the 7th stage known as Extermination. The 8th stage which is the last stage is Denial. Denial is when people try to cover up the tracks of the genocide and deny everything that has happen. Although they did not try to deny the fact it was a genocide. This meets the stage of Denial. <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;"> <span style="display: block; font: 13px/19px Arial; margin: 0px; text-align: justify;">In conclusion, the tragic incident that occurred in Rwanda was in fact a genocide. This represents a genocide because it meets all 8 stages that defines an actual genocide. This horrible murdering that involved two groups was not only preventable, but also unforgettable.
