Armenian Genocide: Atrocities, Deportation, and Plunder by the Convicts Army

Yes, even before World War II, there was a genocide, and not too long before that, actually. We are talking about the Armenian deportations that killed between 1 and 2 million innocent civilians, an atrocity the Turkish government still doesn’t fully acknowledge. Rock bands like System of a Down have complained in their music about it, historians have turned pieces of evidences into large books, and when you talk to Armenians, they still remember what their ancestors told them about it. At the time of World War I, the Ottoman Empire committed the Armenian genocide, which led to the organized death of around one million ethnic Armenians. It was primarily achieved by mass executions, death marches resulting in the Syrian Desert, and the pushed Islamization of Armenian women and kids, led by the judgment Committee of Union and Development (CUP). The Ottoman Empire was collapsing, and in a cruel act of desperation and vengeance, they decided to take out their empirical frustrations on the Armenians and “take care of the Armenian problem.” Mass rapes, murder, deportation, theft, robberies, starvation, and mayhem was the consequence. It became one of the ugliest faces of the First World War in history. Become more familiar with the gruesome events in in Eastern Anatolia, which is now divided into Turkey and Armenia. Learn what moved the perpetrators, what they did, and what the aftermath was like. You can do all that through this concise book.

Paul Joseph Goebbels: Minister of Propaganda for the Third Reich

There are doers and there are preachers. The people who were executing orders or abusing people in World War 2 wouldn’t have been able to commit any atrocities if the country hadn’t warmed up to an inhumane narrative. That’s where propaganda came in. Propaganda has long been part of various countries and societies to make the population believe something, and to find culprits, create feelings of animosity, and glorify local leaders or military campaigns. In World War 2, it was obviously used to promote the supposed inferiority of the Jewish race and convince a big part of the German population that they were better off dead. Goebbels was one of those brainwashers who advocated that narrative with propaganda material in the media. From 1933 through 1945, Paul Joseph Goebbels functioned as the Gauleiter (district head) of Berlin, the Nazi Party's senior propagandist, and the Reich Minister of Propaganda. He was another one of Adolf Hitler's closest and most dedicated acolytes, acknowledged for his public speaking capabilities and his extreme antisemitism, which he often uttered. He promoted for gradually even worse discrimination, including but not limited to the Holocaust's killing of Jews. What led to all this? How did he become so good at it? Why was he so fanatic? And what did he do that led to the terrible acts during the Holocaust others committed against the Jews in Europe? Read about it or listen to an audio version of this book to find out what made Joseph Goebbels gruesomely unique in his lies.

Rwandan Genocide: Hutus, Tutsis, and United Nations Soldiers

I guess during the time I was struggling with middle school peers and worried about what other girls thought of my clothes, something nasty happened approximately 6,500 miles away, which is only an 8-hour flight from where I used to live. Who would have thought that even in the 90s, such atrocities would be committed? The movie Hotel Rwanda has depicted some sad displays of human cruelty, although the brutality of it has mostly been censored for the sake of wider audiences. When you read the descriptions of the Rwandan genocide, and try to imagine the scope of the death toll and methods being used to commit the war crimes, you can’t help but feel deeply saddened and disgusted by what human people are capable of. Throughout the Rwandan Civil War, between April seventh and July fifteenth, 1994, the Rwandan genocide happened. Equipped militias murdered members of the Tutsi minority ethnic group, and some moderate Hutu and Twa, throughout about 100 days. According to the most regularly accepted academic estimates, between 500,000 and 800,000 Tutsis passed away. The death toll (consisting of Hutu and Twa casualties) is approximated to be around 1,100,000. How did all of this happen? How did it get so far? And happened during and after this short time period, in which so many lives were claimed? Let’s find out in this comprehensive book about the 1994 Rwandan genocide.

European Genocides: Details about the Holocaust and Yugoslavian War

This audiobook contains two topics: 1 - The Yugoslavian Genocide is hard to explain. So many factors have contributed to the war, and eventually, the genocide in Bosnia, that many UN soldiers didn’t even know what to do with it. A lack of response, though, made the problem worse. And looking back on some of the cowardice and indifference, I’m sure many countries involved would like to go back in time and do it over. A combination of historical aspects such as the division of religion, the world wars, the Iron Curtain, and the fall of the Soviet Union were part of what led to a conflict that lasted for years in this sensitive region in Europe. Throughout the Bosnian War of 1992-- 1995, the Yugoslavian or Bosnian genocide describes either the Srebrenica massacre or the larger criminal activities against mankind and ethnic cleaning project performed by the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) in areas controlled by the Army of Republika Srpska. 2 - Most people know what the Holocaust was. They have at least a vague image of what transpired in Europe during the 1940s. Still, the details may be blurry. So, let’s take a look at history and the events that shocked the world. And even though this was clearly not the first genocide in the world, it was one of particular proportions and scale, and therefore noteworthy. At the time of The Second World War, the Holocaust, also referred to as the Shoah, was a genocide of European Jews. Between 1941 and 1945, Nazi Germany and its allies killed around 6 million Jews in German-occupied Europe, representing about two-thirds of Europe's Jewish population.

Cambodian Genocide: Pol Pot’s Khmer Rouge and the Killing Fields

It’s insane to think that mass murder didn’t stop at the end of World War II. Since the Holocaust, various genocides have taken place in different areas of the world. In this book, we’ll talk about something that has often been shoved under the rug, but was definitely a consequence of the Vietnam War, the bombings by the Americans, and a domino effect into an already fragile political country: The nation of Cambodia. The Cambodian genocide was the methodical abuse and death of Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, the general secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, who pushed Cambodia towards being an entirely self-dependent agrarian socialist state. Between 1975 and 1979, 1.5 to 2 million people were murdered, representing about a quarter of Cambodia's population in 1975. (c. 7.8 million). When we look back on this, their ideology seems completely paradoxical, far-fetched, and illogical. Yet, through a considerately high number of propaganda resources and sheer force, the coup forced millions of people from the cities to farmlands, leaving them there to die or be shot because of supposed conspiracies against the regime. Let’s take a deep dive into the history of this ancient Southeast Asian area and learn from what happened.

Genocide: A Detailed History of the Cambodian and Armenian Genocide

In this book, we'll discuss two genocides that have cost the lives of millions but have often been overlooked by world historians. These are the following: 1 - It’s insane to think that mass murder didn’t stop at the end of World War II. Since the Holocaust, various genocides have taken place in different areas of the world. In this book, we’ll talk about something that has often been shoved under the rug, but was definitely a consequence of the Vietnam War, the bombings by the Americans, and a domino effect into an already fragile political country: The nation of Cambodia. The Cambodian genocide was the methodical abuse and death of Cambodians by the Khmer Rouge, led by Pol Pot, the general secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea, who pushed Cambodia towards being an entirely self-dependent agrarian socialist state. Between 1975 and 1979, 1.5 to 2 million people were murdered, representing about a quarter of Cambodia's population in 1975.

Genocidal Maniacs: The Biography of Evil Dictators Like Pol Pot and Enver Pasha

This bundle of two audiobooks consists of the following topics: 1 - It doesn’t seem like Enver Pasha was a good man. His war crimes have caused the deaths of millions of innocent citizens. Sure, during a war and a collapsing empire, you try to do what you can to stop losing, but I doubt anyone in the right mind can justify his actions, which included the slaughter of minorities in the Ottoman Empire during World War 1, and even the Armenian Genocide, which consisted of releasing prisoners upon the Armenian population to have their way and abuse, murder, rape, and pillage. Deportation of Armenians to remote areas, away from their homes, caused many to starve, drown, or become severely ill. And to this day, the Turkish government is still somewhat reluctant to acknowledge the severity of that historical atrocity. Let’s learn more about Enver Pasha in this book, as far as history reaches into the depths of time, and find out what made him the way he became, what circumstances contributed to his reactions and commands, and the details of what he did. 2 - He sure had a funny name. And what’s so strange, is that during most of the biggest events in Cambodia, he wasn’t really there. It seems like he was some big orchestrator hiding behind the curtains and silently directing officers to make it all happen. The Cambodia genocide that killed an estimated 2 million of their own citizens has been partially attributed to this maniac. Pol Pot was a Cambodian political leader and revolutionary who worked as Prime Minister of Democratic Kampuchea from 1975 till 1979. He was a key member of Cambodia's communist company, the Khmer Rouge, from 1963 to 1997, and acted as the General Secretary of the Communist Party of Kampuchea from 1963 to 1981. He was a Marxist-- Leninist and a Khmer nationalist. Cambodia was changed into a one-party communist state under his management, and the Cambodian genocide happened.

Torquemada: Spanish Cleric and Grand Inquisitor

The Spanish inquisition was nasty in the 15th century. I am glad we don’t live in those times anymore. We have our own problems to deal with here. But back then, in some countries, primarily the Catholic-dominated ones in Europe, being called a heretic, a witch, or a sinner meant business. It could mean the end of your life. And often, you had nothing to defend yourself with. There weren’t enough fancy lawyers to stand up to the Catholic Church. And so, it is with a tragic view on the past that we see countless innocent victims being accused of something they never did, with no bad intentions or rebellious behavior, and nonetheless being executed in brutal manners. One of the proponents of this system, and active executioners, was Thomas de Torquemada, a completely insane, cruel man who had become notorious for his methods of hunting down and taking out supposed anti-church offenders. Let’s study his life and acts more in this book.
