Scenarios about 'genocide'
The systematic and deliberate destruction of a racial, ethnic, religious, or national group through killing, causing serious harm, or imposing conditions meant to bring about its physical destruction. Genocides throughout history, including the Holocaust, Rwandan Genocide, and Armenian Genocide, represent profound human rights violations that have shaped international law and humanitarian principles. In alternate history scenarios, examining potential genocides averted or alternative responses to historical atrocities provides insights into how human societies might have developed differently.
