Russian Japanese War

Japan’s Russian War is a military conflict between Japan and Russia in the Far East. This conflict caused Russia to abandon its expansionary policy in the region and Japan became the first Asian power in modern times to defeat European power.

Background of the Japanese Russian War

At the beginning of the 20th century, Russia had become a world power that counts with large areas in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. On the other hand, Japan is seen as a rising Asian power thanks to the Meiji Restoration.

In 1904, the Russian Empire, ruled by the autocratic Tsar Nicholas II, was seen as one of the largest territorial forces in the world.

In that year the Siberian shipping center from Vladivostok was forced to close for months due to winter. Therefore, the empire needed a harbor of warm water in the Pacific Ocean, both for trade purposes and a base for its growing navy.

To overcome this problem, Tsar Nicholas turned his attention to the Korean peninsula and China’s Liaodong. The Russian Empire had rented a port on the Liaodong Peninsula from China known as Port Arthur, but they wanted to have a strong base of operations under their control.

Meanwhile, Japan has paid special attention to Russia’s influence in the East Asian region since the First Sino-Japanese War of 1895. During the war, Russia provided military support to the Qing Empire in China during the conflict, which resulted in two Asian powers clashing with each other other.

With the history of Russian military aggression, at first Japan wanted to find an agreement by offering control of Manchuria, China. In return Japan will continue to maintain its influence over Korea.

However, Russia rejected Japan’s offer and demanded that North Korea from the 39th parallel be used as a neutral zone.

After negotiations failed, Japan chose the path of war by carrying out a surprise attack on the Russian navy at Port Arthur on February 8, 1904.

The Japanese Imperial Navy attack on the Russian Far East Fleet at Port Arthur was designed to intimidate Russian troops.

Under the leadership of Admiral Togo Heihachiro, the Imperial Japanese Navy sent torpedo ships to attack Russian navy ships. The attack damaged three of Russia’s largest ships: Tsesarevich, Retvizan and Pallada.

The next battle from Port Arthur began the next day.

Although the remnants of Russia’s Far East Fleet were largely protected inside the port at Port Arthur, previous attacks had succeeded in preventing Russia from fighting in the open sea. Japan also tried to blockade the port but failed.

Russia did not remain silent, they tried to counter the attack using mines. The counterattack managed to damage two Japanese warships. Nevertheless Japan still showed dominance in Port Arthur and continued to bombard the port with heavy weapons.

The Battle of Liaoyang
After attempts to attack the Russian fort on the ground failed and instead resulted in significant casualties for Japan, the persistence of the Asian forces finally paid off.

At the end of August, troops from northern Russia sent to assist the fleet at Port Arthur were beaten back by the Japanese at the Battle of Liaoyang. The Japanese attack was carried out from a new position obtained on the mainland around the port.

By the end of 1904, the Japanese navy had sunk every ship in the Russian Pacific fleet and had taken control of its garrison on a hill overlooking the harbor.

In early January 1905, Russian Major General Anatoly Stessel, commander of the Port Arthur garrison, decided to surrender because he thought the port was no longer worth defending. The decision surprised the leaders of both parties.

The decision to surrender Stessel, made Japan achieve a significant victory in the war. Meanwhile, Stessel was convicted of treason and sentenced to death for his decision, even though he was finally forgiven.

The Russian Navy also suffered heavy losses during the Battle of the Yellow Sea, forcing imperial leaders to mobilize their Baltic Fleet to the region as reinforcements.

War in Manchuria and Korea
At a time when Russia was disrupted and demoralized, Japanese ground forces began to control the Korean peninsula after landing at Incheon in South Korea now. Within two months, they had taken over Seoul and the entire peninsula.

In late April 1904, Japanese ground forces began planning an attack on Russian-controlled Manchuria in northeast China. During the first ground battle on the Yalu River, Japan launched a successful offensive against Russian Eastern Detachment and forced them to retreat back to Port Arthur in May 1904.

After going through intermittent battles during the Manchuria winter, the next important land battle in the conflict began on February 20, 1905, when Japanese troops invaded Russia in Mukden. The days of hard fighting ensued.

The great battle involved 330,000 Russian troops against 270,000 Japanese troops. This is one of the biggest land battles in history.

At the Battle of Mukden, the Japanese succeeded in pushing Russia and eventually forced them into full retreat. On March 10, after three weeks of fighting, Russia lost a significant number of troops and was pushed back north of Mukden. The loss in this battle was huge, around 89,000 Russians and 71,000 Japanese troops were killed.

Decisive Battle in the Tsushima Strait
Although Japan had achieved important victories during the Battle of Mukden, on the other hand they also suffered significant casualties.

Russian Baltic Fleet reinforcements finally arrived in May 1905, after sailing nearly 20,000 nautical miles – an extraordinary task, especially in the early 1900s – they still faced the daunting challenge of having to navigate the Sea of ​​Japan to get to Vladivostok, with Port Arthur no longer open to them.

To avoid Japanese surveillance, they chose to sail at night. However, Russian reinforcements can still be found by Japan, after a hospital ship turned on their lights in the dark.

Once again under the command of Admiral Togo Heihachiro, the Japanese navy tried to block Russian roads to Vladivostok and resulted in the outbreak of fighting in the Tsushima Strait on May 27, 1905.

On the following day, Russia lost eight battleships and more than 5,000 people. Only three ships finally reached their destination in Vladivostok.

This decisive victory forced Russia to negotiate a peace agreement.

Although Japan had won the war convincingly, the victory was costly, so the state treasury was almost empty. As a result, Japan lacked the negotiating power that could be expected.

Under the terms of the agreement signed by both parties on September 5, 1905, Russia handed over Port Arthur to Japan, while defending the northern part of Sakhalin Island, which is located off the Pacific coast. Russia also agreed to leave Manchuria and recognize Japanese control over the Korean peninsula.

On the financial side Tsar Nicholas refused to pay compensation to Japan. The Tsar’s rejection was supported by Roosevelt. As a result, Japan accused the Americans of deceiving them and anti-American demonstrations in Tokyo appeared.

A series of embarrassing defeats of Russia in the Russo-Japanese War made the Russian Empire lose dignity and increase the Russian people’s hatred of the Tsar’s government. This hatred would later ignite political fire which eventually resulted in the overthrow of the government in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917.

Although tensions in the region are far from over, the Russo-Japanese War has shifted the balance of global power, marking the first time in modern history that Asians have defeated Europeans in military battles. This war will also mark the start of a war involving world powers in the Pacific region.

Cursed Crusaders Fear Saladin

The story of Saladin Al-Ayyub or Saladin is often tinged with flattery. But there is another side to the cruelty of the commander in the Second Volume Crusade which made him very feared.

“Joseph, pack your things! We will leave! “

It was December 1168. More than twenty years before the Second Crusade broke out which would be an important event for the Islamic Kingdom to take Jerusalem. The governed figure is the nephew of a fat bodied one-eyed swordsman. The old commander is named Shirkuh.

This young man who is being governed is very different from his uncle. Thin, frail and 31 years old. Good looking, fair skinned, and has a melancholy facial line. His name is Yusuf bin Najmuddin. From the Kurds. On that day he was assigned by Sultan Nuruddin to take Shirkuh to bring the Islamic Kingdom troops from Damascus to Egypt to free Egypt from attacks by Christians. At that time Joseph was so scared.

“Like a man who is escorted to his death,” Yusuf suggested as told by Karen Armstrong in Holy War: The Crusades and Their Impacts on Today’s World (2001: 372-410).

After entering Egypt a few months later, the uncle suddenly died. Egypt has been mastered again. The problem then arises, who should replace the uncle?

Many amirs (leaders) are more worthy than Joseph, but some officials want someone who is loyal with a more friendly personality. Yusuf was the youngest and seemed inexperienced and the weakest among the emirs in the Shirkuh army, he was chosen to lead Egypt.

But who would have thought, a figure who was thought to be weak and too soft actually turned into a strong and effective figure in his jihad campaign to take Jerusalem. “When God gave me the land of Egypt, I was sure that He also intended to give me the land of Palestine,” Yusuf said in his inauguration as Vizier (a kind of governor) in Egypt.

And in the end, people will get to know their nickname: Saladin, which means “religious justice”. Or the crusaders knew him by the nickname “Saladin”. The most respected warlord – and at the same time feared – crusaders.

Saladin did not get the throne for granted. He first had to argue with Sultan Nuruddin who gave him orders along with his uncle when he was young and so innocent a few years before. Luckily, destiny was like appointing Saladin to lead Muslim troops in his jihad campaign. In the midst of Sultan Nuruddin preparing to fight Saladin’s “rebellion” in Egypt, on May 15, 1174 the Sultan died. Make the chair “caliph” empty just like that.

Saladin’s reputation as a highly religious figure made it easy for fanatics to put their support in him. The scattered and scattered Islamic provinces are united beneath it.

In the end, after 1181, for the first time – and the only one – in Islamic history, a Muslim empire that was so large and united in one banner. And at the same time, the name Yusuf sank engulfed in the greatness of his own nickname: Saladin Al-Ayyubi.

Saladin’s cruelty

In one of the most devastating battles in the second volume of the Crusade, there is a story that continues to be a picture of the crusaders how terrible Saladin’s army in the land of Palestine. The battle that took place on Mount Hattin, the Europeans called it “Battle of Hattin”.

The battle is also told – at least – by Ridley Scott in the film Kingdom of Heaven (2005). A battle that was even more fierce than the attempt to seize the City of Jerusalem itself a few months later.

The Crusaders were led by Guy de Lusignan at the time. A fanatic who became King of Jerusalem after the death of Sibylla’s son, King Baldwin V who succeeded his uncle, King “Lepra” Baldwin IV who was known to be very wise. Guy is very ambitious to finish off the “infidel forces” and is convinced that his invasion of Tiberias (the place where Saladin’s troops resided) was God’s destiny.

The battle of Hattin also had a chance to change perceptions about Saladin who was known to be compassionate to his enemies. Imaduddin al-Ishfakhani, Saladin’s secretary revealed his testimony, “That day I witnessed how Saladin killed the unbelievers to give breath to Islam and destroy polytheism to build monotheism.”

It was Reynauld of Chattilon, Guy the King of Jerusalem’s right hand, that made Saladin turn into a cruel figure. Four years earlier, Reynauld had killed Saladin’s younger sister when a ceasefire was still established between the crusaders and Muslim troops. Raping and slaughtering all Muslim caravans passing through Palestinian land. Execute and plunder Muslim territories.

When a Muslim warns of a truce still in effect, Reynauld instead rebukes, “Let your Muhammad come and help you!”

As if it was not enough to provoke Saladin, Reynauld also had a plan to attack the Muslim holy city: Mecca. This outrageous plan actually provides a multiplied force on the part of Muslim forces. All the tribes then united under Saladin’s banner and eliminated their respective disputes. Saladin also swore, “I will kill him with my own hands.” Then there was the biggest battle in the history of the Second Volume Crusade which was so cruel and decisive.

The defeat of the fanatics

Although the jihad campaign is a way of bringing all Muslim forces together, on the opposite side the same campaign is carried out in a far more banal way. Deadly common sense and seem to believe that God will help the Crusaders with miracles.

One of the signs came when Guy agreed to Reynauld’s proposal to go directly to Saladin’s troops in Tiberias. These blind fanatics ignore military reasoning. Hunt down Shaluhddin’s forces in the open instead of waiting behind the walls of the Jerusalem City castle.

With his 20 thousand troops, Guy and Raunauld crossed the Galilee valleys in the hot summer. Overburdened with their heavy armor. Saladin – although someone who is very religious – is a military commander with exceptional strategic intelligence. He knows that access to water is a decisive way for the battle this time.

Saladin dammed up water supplies and drained many springs. Instruct small group archers to target enemy soldiers who are separated from the group. The crusaders were half crazy because of thirst. Eventually they arrived at the Sea of ​​Galilee in a state of exhaustion and realized that the only source of water was the place where Saladin’s army camp was located.

Even without this tactic, Saladin actually could still win the battle – more than 10,000 Muslim troops, but Saladin knew, behind Guy and Reynauld, there was the City of Jerusalem that must be captured. In Saladin’s plan, it would be futile if the victory at Bukit Hattin did not continue to the next victory.

Under conditions of extreme fatigue and dehydration, the crusaders rested on Mount Hattin. The cheers of Saladin’s army were heard from afar. Shows how ready Saladin’s troops welcomed the victory that coincided on the 26/27 Ramadan. The Muslim holy day which Saladin finally commemorated as the night of the “nuzulul Quran” – the first day that the verses of the Koran were revealed to the world.

Finally at dawn on July 4, 1187 Saladin’s army set out to invade Hattin Hill where the crusaders were camping. Beating so hard and leaving only a few of them. Some of the barons and knights did escape the siege of Saladin’s army. Some of them were Balian de Ibelin, a figure who would lead the militia and the army of the people of Jerusalem to defend the city from Saladin’s army a few months later.

After the battle, Saladin brought the two most valuable prisoners into his tent. King Guy and Reynauld. Two men who were very tired and thirsty at the same time. Saladin gave Guy a refreshing ice water. Guy drank it, then gave it to Reynauld.

It is an Arabic tradition that a host cannot kill a man he feeds and drinks. When Reynauld drank so lightly without the host’s orders, Saladin asked, “Who allowed you to drink?”

Reynauld just didn’t budge. Saladin continued his sentence, “Therefore I am not required to show mercy to you.” As soon as the sentence was over, Saladin immediately pulled the sword out of his belt and beheaded Reynauld in the presence of a frightened and confident Guy that his turn would come.

Seeing Guy who was afraid Saladin then said, “The king did not kill the king. Why don’t you approach a great king to learn from his example? “

The great king in question is King Baldwin IV, the king who suffered from leprosy until he finally died. Leaving the Christian Kingdom of Jerusalem in the grip of King Guy the blind fanatic and making the Islamic Kingdom finally able to master it.

The Cruelty of Crazy French Colonialism

Not only Britain, Spain or the Netherlands are famous for their colonialism. France, too. In fact, this not-so-big country almost controlled around 7 percent of the world. A crazy achievement, although to get it France must do a lot of heinous actions.

Yes, just like the Dutch or other invaders, France is also known for its cruelty to the countries that were successfully colonized. Even when compared to the Netherlands, France is even more violent. Maybe it’s not something to be thankful for, but the suffering of the people of Indonesia will be even crazier like France had succeeded in making our country as their colony.

There are many countries that France has succeeded in subjugating, and just like the usual invaders, this newly emerging country has done many inhuman things. Following the review.

1. Algeria
Little difference with Indonesia which was colonized by the Netherlands, Algeria, for almost 132 years, experienced hard times with French colonialism. Instead of doing many good things, the government of French colonialism actually made this country a hell of its own people. A lot of tyranny has been recorded. Including the severe massacres that had occurred in Guelma.

France was proven to have committed a major crime, and even President Francois Hollande admitted it himself. In a speech, the president said that Algeria was a victim of the cruel system of its country. Despite claiming to be, Hollande was reluctant to apologize for what his people had done in the past.

2. Mali
Mali is also a French colony known as no less miserable. In 1892, France succeeded in taking power over Mali and making this country a coolie. Yes, most of the people are forced to become manual laborers through agriculture. Peanuts and cotton are the main productions.

Their suffering was so great, even this act of coercion was almost like slavery. Fortunately, after World War II the situation in Mali changed a lot and finally they were able to become independent in 1960. However, the suffering apparently still wasn’t really over for the Mali population. In recent years, France is known to carry out a military invasion that has sacrificed the lives of many civilians there.

3. Haiti
The French motivation in controlling Haiti was initially influenced by the El Dorado fable. In the past, it was believed that somewhere in Central America there was a city full of gold called El Dorado. This also made France tempted, until in the end to expand but did not produce anything. Even so, they managed to colonize Haiti.

Because the French motivation from the beginning was a treasure, so when in Haiti they were doing exploits like crazy. Unfortunately, Haiti doesn’t have many things. So that slavery is carried. Haitian slavery is like an economic commodity. During the period of French colonialism, slaves were traded like merchandise. Until finally decades after this event, Haiti rose and could get freedom. As a country or a human.

4. Chad
Chad was a prosperous country at first, even the most comfortable compared to the surrounding areas. However, this happy period ended when France colonized them in the early 19th century. The goal was the same, namely to be exploited and monopolized according to will.

There was so much suffering experienced by the Chadian people when it was colonized by France. Including horrific events in which religious leaders are treated cruelly until slaughtered. This era of French colonization then ended, but it still had a bad impact on Chad. The new government was successfully made but not in accordance with the conscience of the Chadian people. This even led to the coup plan to the civil war.

5. Vietnam
The history of the struggle of the Vietnamese people is not only about resistance against America, but also France. Yes, this one country was also quite a long time to colonize our neighbors. France treated Vietnam the same as other colonial areas. Massive exploitation of natural resources.

Vietnam’s struggle for independence is very heavy. They have to do many wars including the most severe is the Dien Phu War which takes years with hundreds of thousands of victims. In the end Vietnam won this upheaval and gained independence. Unfortunately, when France left, America intervened and there was the legendary Vietnam War.

Whether this is something to be grateful for or not, but you could say Indonesia is fortunate enough not to be colonized by France. As the story of the countries above are treated very improperly by France. Actually, going to France or the Netherlands, whose name is colonialism through colonialism is a bad thing. Seeing what the colonizing nations have done in the past, then they should apologize and compensate for all the things they have done.

British Colonize Aboriginal tribes

Australia, a continent which was originally inhabited by aboriginal tribes turned out to keep a painful story of colonialism to date. Australia, which is a continent of British prisoner exile, has indeed become a British commonwealth and has turned into a prosperous continent under the queen of England.

But the true Australian continent has been wrested from an indigenous tribe who lived 60 thousand years on this kangaroo continent. Aboriginal tribes, indigenous tribes of Australia are forcibly displaced and become slaves for years.

1. Early Arrival
During the ‘Carnaval of Crime’ crime in England increased and made prisons full. Britain also can no longer throw prisoners into the American continent because America has freed itself from Britain. Finally the navigation of Cook in 1770 returned to find Australia opening a gap to control the continent as Australia’s.

The arrival of the James Cook in 1770 was the beginning of the claim of British ownership of Australian land. The ship which was originally expedited to search for new land eventually became the first round of colonization of Aboriginal tribes. With the discovery of gold mines more and more British immigrants came and divided the land for settlements. This capture is often in contact with Aboriginal customary land.

2. Bad Treatment of the Invaders
At the beginning of their occupation, the British carried out a massacre in 1806. Hundreds of natives were shot and beaten to death. Recorded in the Independent newspaper report in 1997, there were many cases of rape that eventually transmitted the deadly disease to the Aboriginal people.

White people want to control mainland Australia and get rid of the indigenous tribes of Australia. They broke the bloody conflict because they treated the indigenous tribes badly. In the Australian colonial archives it was confirmed from 1824 to 1908 that at least 10 thousand Aboriginal tribes were killed. The file also mentions some of the victims killed because they became ‘toys of white people’.

3. A tribe that does not build
Guided by Darwin’s theory of evolution, the British saw the Aboriginal tribe as a non-constructing human species. In 1890 the vice president of the Royal Society in Tasmania, James Barnard wrote, “This process of annihilation is an evolutionary principle and it is the strong that continue to live.”

The results of this racist view made Aboriginal people massacred. Some decapitated heads were stuck at the door of the station, poisoned bread was given to Aboriginal families and even many of them were made experimental animals.

4. Abolition of Aboriginal Tribes
At the beginning of the 20th century, continued atrocities against these Aboriginal tribes. Systematic massacres were carried out by carrying out an ‘Assimilation’ policy. Aboriginal tribes are considered tribes left behind by civilization, because they choose to live in the wild or wear modest clothing.

This Assimilation Policy is enforced. In the period 1910 to 1970 more than 100 thousand Aboriginal children were forcibly taken away from their parents to be paired with white foster parents. They are required to speak English and discard all Aboriginal culture.

For Native Men who resist assimilation, the police have the right to beat him, even this assimilation occurred until 1970. Judge Ronald Wilson’s report also mentions the practice of discrimination and genocide even after Australia voluntarily signed the international treaty of the 1948 UN Charter.

5. The Struggle to Set Yourself Free
On 31 March 2014, the Aboriginal people showed their desire for independence from Britain. They want to end the colonial rule that has lasted more than 200 years, by sending a letter to Queen Elizabeth II and the Australian government.

A declaration of the establishment of the Murrawari state which became the home of the Aboriginal tribes had also been carried out. Previously the Aboriginal sovereignty movement in Australia was seen in 1972. An Aboriginal Camp Embassy Movement group supported indigenous land rights and expelled the British who never had legal authority over the Australian continent.

Discrimination against native kangaroo continents is indeed still happening today. This indigenous tribe is still isolated from the modern civilization of the continent of Australia with the placement of isolated regions. And various policies that exacerbate the extinction of this tribe.

The Tragedy of the Massacre of Thousands of Muslims in Srebrenica

On July 11, 1995, exactly 23 years ago, began the most sadistic massacre in post-World War II Europe, according to former UN Secretary General Kofi Annan. He referred to the genocide of thousands of Bosnian Muslim citizens in Srebrenica City, Bosnia and Herzegovina.

The collapse of the Yugoslav Federal Socialist Republic became the main cause. The declaration of independence of the Bosnian Republic and Hezergovina was not recognized by the Serbian army and the Yugoslav People’s Army (JNA). Both want to secure territory, but apparently also followed by cleansing of non-Serbs in the area they are trying to control.

Srebenica is located at the eastern end of Bosnia and Hezergovina. The city became the next target after Serbian and JNA troops were satisfied ransacking Bratunac, an area also located on the border of the two countries. The majority of the population is Bosnian Muslims. Villages in the area were taken, houses burned, citizens beaten or killed. 1,156 Bratunac residents were killed, while others were forced to flee (and eventually concentrate) to Srebrenica.

Similar is happening in many countries, genocide does not take place overnight and overnight. The International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY) noted campaigns as well as military attacks before ethnic cleansing had begun since 1992. Former Bosnian and Hezergovina military officials, Naser Oric, told ICTY that between April 1992-March 1993 Srebrenica residents were targeted by Srebrenica residents artillery attacks, fighter bombs, and snipers by Serbian troops.

“Potočari village is a daily target because it is a sensitive spot on the defensive line around Srebrenica. Other Bosnian Muslim settlements are also routinely attacked. All of this resulted in a large number of refugees and victims, “he said.

The Serbian army was exploited because it controlled the water supply and energy sources of the village community. Mass hunger occurs because assistance from humanitarian agencies is not permitted to enter. Even the elderly and children who are weak one by one fallen.

Mastermind of the cruel events in Srebrenica is Srpska (Serbian) Republican General nicknamed Bosnian Butcher, Ratko Mladic. He grew up to be a member of the Yugoslav Communist League, then a career in the Yugoslav People’s Army. His position skyrocketed from a high-ranking officer, Chief of Staff of the Army, until finally being appointed as general when entering the Bosnian War in 1992-1995.

Military uniform makes Mladic reveal his savage nature. On April 5, 1992, on the same day as the proclamation of independence for Bosnia and Herzegovina, Yugoslavian forces encircled the capital of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Sarajevo.

Mladic and his troops tried to occupy the city center and overthrow Bosnia’s official government through a coup. The siege of Sarajevo, referring to the final UN report, lasted 1,425 days (5 April 1992-29 February 1996) and became the longest siege in the history of world war.

Mladic and his army did eventually retreat. But the death toll reached 13,952 people, 5,434 of whom came from civilians.

Entering 1995, the situation in Srebrenica was increasingly dangerous. The UN then formed UNPROFOR troops which were filled by around 400 Dutch troops. Since April 1993, the UN has also made Srebrenica a safe area. This means that the city must not be used as a battle ground by all parties who are at war.

The Serbian army ignored him. Strike after attack was carried out as the troops kept surging inside. On June 4 1995 the superior number of Serb forces finally gained control of Srebrenica.

On July 6, Serbian forces began storming Dutch army posts. Five days later they managed to enter the refugee camps. Most of the children, women and parents who began to move to seek refuge in Potocari were also arrested.

The ICTY report explained that on July 11, 1995 the massacre began by separating men aged 12-77 years. The reason is to be interrogated, but this is only an excuse so that the target can be separated from women, parents, or other relatives.

The first murder took place in a warehouse near the village of Kravica, then continued to other corners of the village. The group of victims was told to line up near the hole made into a mass grave, then shot one by one in the back of the head. The soldiers then targeted all types of gender and age. Old, young, old people, children, even babies, all became targets of the Mladic forces’ cruelty. Not to mention the rape cases experienced by survivors and subsequently killed.

The Hague Court’s Notes (PDF) on this case, compiled in December 2007, reveal many sad stories from witnesses or survivors. One of them was Zumra Šehomerovic, who witnessed the horror of the Srebrenica Massacre, right before his eyes.

Sehomerovic saw a girl about nine years old in the clutches of JNA soldiers. One soldier told the girl’s younger brother to rape his brother. The younger brother clearly refused. The soldier was angry and then killed the boy.

“There is a mother with her baby who is only a few months old. A JNA soldier told him to calm the crying baby. The mother’s attempt failed, then the soldier grabbed the baby and cut his neck. He laughed. There are Dutch soldiers (UNPROFOR) who only watch and do nothing, “he said.

History highlights the failure of UNPROFOR in this case as a very fatal action. Allowing evil to occur in their eyes is only a small fragment.

When the massacre was taking place, Dutch troops surrendered 5,000 refugees in exchange for 14 of their troops held by Mladic. Until now the decision has sparked criticism and regret from both the UN and the Dutch government.
Independent reported that the Dutch troops claimed at the time that they also had the potential to become victims of Mladic atrocities. But exchanging 70 percent of Bosnians who were in despair with 14 opposing troops was also accused of multiplying more wrongly.

The initial list of persons missing or killed in Srebrenica compiled by the Bosnian Federal Missing Persons Commission stated that the total number of victims was 8,373. In July 2012, 6,838 victims of genocide were identified through DNA analysis. Capital is a body part found from a mass grave. In July 2013, 6,066 victims were buried in the Potocari Warning Center.

In commemoration of the 10th anniversary of the Srebrenica Massacre, Kofi Annan stated that the main mistake was indeed in the perpetrators of genocide, those who supported it, and those who took care of the burial of the victims. But he also stressed that the UN had made a serious mistake, “rooted in the philosophy of impartiality.” Srebrenica, he said, would be a tragedy that forever haunted the UN.

Mladic managed to escape after the end of the Bosnian War. For 14 years he was being chased by Serbian authorities. The initial price for information on the whereabouts of Mladic, which was clarified by the Serbian and United States Governments, was Rp90 billion. In 2010 the figure increased dramatically to Rp180 billion.

On May 26, 2011 plainclothes officers from the Serbian Interior Ministry special war crimes unit arrested Mladic in a village called Lazarevo. After being tried for 530 days, on November 22, 2017 he was found guilty as the mastermind of the Srebrenica genocide and sentenced to life imprisonment.

Genocide in Ethnic Conflict in Rwanda

On April 7, 1994, the massacre of about 500 thousand to one million moderate Tutsis and Hutus began for 100 days. In Rwanda, the dark history of genocide is accepted in inter-ethnic conflict.

The Hutu and Tutsi ethnic groups in Rwanda have continued to flare up since independence from Belgium and the dissolution of the monarchic government led by the Tutsi king. On April 7, 1994, the turmoil culminated in genocide.

Hutu extremists who are the major ethnic ethnic groups in the country slaughtered Tutsis and moderate Hutus. Ethnic minority Tutsis are targets and targets of violence.

About 85 percent of Rwandans are ethnic Hutus and the rest are Tutsi and other smaller ethnic groups. Although a minority, Tutsi has long been known to occupy many sectors of leadership and government.

Reported by History, the direct roots of the 1994 genocide began in the early 1990s, when Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana, a Hutu, began using anti-Tutsi rhetoric to consolidate his power among the Hutus. In early October 1990 there was already a massacre of Tutsi.

Although the two ethnic groups have been very similar in sharing the same language and culture for centuries, the law requires registration based on ethnicity. The Rwandan government and army began to gather the Interahamwe (which means those who attacked together) and prepared to eliminate Tutsi by arming the Hutus with weapons and machetes. In January 1994, UN peacekeeping forces in Rwanda warned that a major massacre was imminent.

On the day before the massacre began, President Habyarimana was killed when his plane was shot down. That added fire to the Hutu extremists to Tutsi, because they thought the plane was shot by the Tutsi military organization or the Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF).

The Hutu extremists in the military, led by Colonel Theoneste Bagosora, immediately acted to kill Tutsis and moderate Hutus within hours of the accident. The following day the Belgian peacekeepers were killed so the United Nations withdrew troops from Rwanda.

After that, radio stations in Rwanda broadcast hate propaganda to kill all Tutsis in the country. National army and police directed the massacre and threatened Hutu civilians. Thousands of Tutsis were tortured to death with machetes by their own neighbors and even some husbands killed their Tutsi wives because the militias threatened to kill if they refused.

Despite the terrible crimes, the international community including the United States is hesitant to take any action. They mistakenly regard genocide as chaos in the middle of a tribal war. President Bill Clinton later called America’s failure to do anything to stop genocide as the biggest regret of his administration.

That was left to the RPF, led by Paul Kagame to start a military campaign that finally succeeded in controlling Rwanda. In the summer, the RPF defeated the Hutu forces and drove them out of the country and into several neighboring countries. However, at that time, an estimated 75 percent of Tutsi living in Rwanda had been killed.

Genocide In Spanish

The April Fool’s celebration, which always ends with excitement and satisfaction, actually starts from a major tragedy that is very sad and heartbreaking. April Fool’s Day or “The April Fool’s Day” begins with an episode of the history of Muslim Spain in 1487 or coincides with 892 H. Before arriving at the tragedy, it is a good idea to look at Spanish history first while still under Islamic rule.

Since Islam was liberated in the 8th century AD by Commander Tariq bin Ziyad, Spain has gradually grown into a prosperous country. Islamic forces not only stopped in Spain, but continued to liberate in neighboring countries to France. Southern France can easily be freed. The city of Carcassone, Nimes, Bordeaux, Lyon, Poitou, Tours and so on fell. Although very strong, Islamic forces still tolerate the Goth and Navaro tribes in the western part of the mountains.

Islam has illuminated Spain. Because the attitude of the Islamic rulers was so kind and humble, many Spaniards who later sincerely and sincerely embraced Islam. Spanish Muslims are not only Muslim, but they truly practice Islamic life. They not only read the Qur’an, but also behave according to the Qur’an. They always say “no” to music, beer, promiscuity, and everything that is forbidden by Islam. This peaceful situation lasted for almost six centuries.

The History of “April Fool”

During those six centuries, the infidels who still exist around Spain tirelessly continued to try to rid Islam of Spain, but always failed. A number of spies were sent to study the weaknesses of Muslims in Spain. Finally, the spy found a way to conquer Islam in Spain, which must first weaken their faith first by attacking thought and culture.

So start secretly they send alcohol and cigarettes for free into the territory of Spain. Music is played to persuade young people to prefer singing and dancing rather than reading the Qur’an. They also sent a number of fake clerics whose work blew divisions within the bodies of Spanish Muslims. Over time this effort bore fruit.

Finally, Spain fell and could be controlled by the Crusaders. The attack by the Crusaders was really carried out cruelly without knowing humanity. Not only Islamic forces were slaughtered, but also civilians, women, small children, old people, all killed cruelly.

One by one the regions in Spain fell. Granada was the last to be conquered. The Muslim population in Spain (also called the Moors) was forced to take shelter in the house to save themselves. Christian soldiers continued to pursue them.

When the streets were quiet, leaving only thousands of corpses lying in a pool of blood, the Crusaders learned that many Granada Muslims were still hiding in homes. Loud the Crusaders shouted the announcement, that the Muslims of Granada could get out of the house safely and were allowed to sail out of Spain with their needs.

“We have prepared ships that will take you out of Spain at the port. We guarantee your safety if you want to get out of Spain, after this we will no longer give guarantees! ” Thus persuaded the Crusaders.

Muslims are still suspicious of this offer. Some of the Muslims are allowed to see the passenger ships that have been prepared at the port. After really seeing a ship that has been prepared, then they immediately prepare to leave Granada together to the ships. They were preparing to sail.

The next day, thousands of Granada’s Muslim residents came out of their homes, carrying all their necessities along the way to the harbor. Some Muslims who did not believe the Crusaders survived and continued to hide in their homes. After thousands of Spanish Muslims gathered at the port, the Crusaders quickly searched the houses that the inhabitants had left. Tongues of fire were seen lapping up the sky when the Crusaders burned the houses together with the Muslims who still survived in them.

While thousands of Muslims detained at the port could only be stunned, when the Crusaders also burned ships said to be carrying them out of Spain. The ships quickly sank. Thousands of Muslims cannot do anything because they are totally unarmed. They also consist mostly of women and children who are still small. Meanwhile, the Crusaders had surrounded them with drawn swords.

With a shout from the leader, thousands of Crusaders immediately slaughtered and finished off the Muslims of Spain without feeling of mercy. Crying and takbir blaring. With a ferocious Crusaders continued to kill civilians who were completely helpless.

All Spanish Muslims in the harbor were cruelly killed. Blood welled everywhere. The blue sea has turned blackish red. This tragedy coincides with April 1. This is then commemorated by the Christian world every April 1 as April Fool’s Day (The April Fool’s Day).

For Muslims, April Fool is certainly a very sad tragedy. The day thousands of brothers and sisters in the faith were “slaughtered” and massacred by the Crusaders in Granada, Spain. Therefore, it is very inappropriate if there are Muslims who join in celebrating this tradition. Because, by participating in celebrating April Fool’s Day, the Muslims actually rejoiced and laughed at the tragedy. Whoever is a Muslim who celebrates April Fools, is actually celebrating the anniversary of the massacre of thousands of his brothers in Granada, Spain, a few centuries ago.

“Surely the disbelievers are plotting evil deeds in the best way.” [Surah Ath Thaariq 86: 15]

“And I made a plan (too) with the truth.” [Surah Ath Thaariq 86: 16]

“Therefore give the unbelievers tough, that is, give them respite for a while.” [Surah Ath Thaariq 86: 17]

April Fools’ Day, a day where you can cheat others

April Fools are days when “they” may deceive others as a joke. Brother, every time before April 1, usually many of us will be so busy and carried away with Western culture. Many are preparing to celebrate by making big plans to deceive other people / closest friends / relatives.

O Muslims, be careful of this culture. Avoid ourselves from doing wrong, especially April Fool is not Islamic culture.

But do you know how many of us do not know the harsh reality of history that befell the Spanish Muslims behind the April Fools celebration? The tragedy of the slaughter of Spanish Muslims.

“The Jews and Christians will not be happy with you until you follow their religion. Say: ‘Verily Allah’s instructions are (true) instructions’. And truly if you follow their will after knowledge comes to you, then God will no longer be a protector and a helper to you. ” (QS Albaqarah 2: 120)

In a history it was stated, that the Jews of Medina and the Najran Nashara hoped that the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam prayed facing their qibla. When Allah Subhanahu wata’ala turned the Qibla to the Kaaba, they objected. They conspired and tried to make the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam approve the qibla in accordance with their religion. Then the above verse (Q. 2: 120) goes down which explains that the Jews and the people of Nashara will not be happy with the Prophet Muhammad, even if his wish is granted. (Narrated by Tsa’labi sourced from Ibn Abbas)

As said by Allah Subhanahu wata’ala, for all time, they will never lose their enemies of Islam to always destroy Islam and extinguish the light of Allah Subhanahu wata’ala. Various ways they will do, including the history of the slaughter of Spanish Muslims also April 1 developed into an April Fool’s celebration.

Sadly, ignorant Muslims also commemorate April Fool’s Day. Without realizing, they actually celebrated the anniversary of the mass murder of their own Muslim brothers.

O Muslims, be careful of this culture. Avoid ourselves from doing wrong. Remind our fellow Muslims. Remember that April 1 was the day of the massacre of the Spanish Muslims. And the important thing is, in the Koran & Hadith there are no orders which can deceive others as a joke.

May Allah always open the door to repentance for us. Amiiin ..

5 Facts on the Murder of Indians by Europeans

The Americans we know today come from various tribes and races. However, did you know that there used to be a Native American tribe? They are an Indian tribe.

However, they were slaughtered by Europeans. This massacre was claimed even more cruel than the massacre carried out by the Nazis. It is estimated that there were 50-100 million Indian inhabitants who were slaughtered at that time. Then, what are the facts about the massacre of Indian tribes? Following the review.

1. Europeans want to control American soil

Since long time ago, Europeans have been known as people who like to carry out expeditions outside Europe, one of which is Christopher Columbus. He made an expedition to the American plains to expand the territory.

Columbus thought that the American plains were areas that had no inhabitants. However, after arriving, it turns out he found Indians in the American plains. However, that did not dampen his intention to control the American territory.

2. To rule America, the Europeans wanted to drive out Indian tribes

Initially, Columbus was welcomed by Indian tribes. The only way to control the American territory is by expelling Indians.

Knowing Columbus’s bad intentions, the Indians felt threatened. Finally, Indian tribes began to fight with Europeans. As a result, a number of Columbus’s fleet was sunk by Indians.

3. Massacres committed by Europeans

To be able to control the American territory, eventually the Europeans began to fight. They began to slaughter Indian tribes.

To seize American territory, Europeans used sophisticated weapons to carry out resistance. Meanwhile, Indian tribes only use traditional weapons so that many people from Indian tribes are killed.

4. Spread of the seeds of deadly diseases by Europeans

To seize the American plains from the Indians, Europeans did not only wage war. They also spread the seeds of disease to Indian tribes.

This spread was carried out through mice that were spread to Indian tribal residents. Many Indian tribes are affected by epidemics of dangerous diseases such as typhus and leptospirosis. The spread of this outbreak made the population of the Indian tribes immediately reduced drastically.

5. The Europeans finally gradually gained control of the American territory

After a long war, Europeans in America experienced an increase in population. Meanwhile, the Indian population is decreasing.

Since the United States began on July 4, 1776, Europeans have continued to carry out massacres. That’s because the Indians do not want to leave the American territory.

Because of the declining population of Indian tribes, this caused the Europeans to finally gain control of the American territory slowly.

That is the fact of the massacre of Indian tribes carried out by Europeans. In fact, before Europeans came to America, Indians lived in peace.

However, everything changed after the Europeans came to America. Indian tribes slaughtered by Europeans in order to control America. So, at this time the United States was created as a result of European colonization of Indian tribes.

Indian Genocide

Indian Genocide: Slaughter of Native Americans in the Name of ‘Civilization’

On a cold day in May 1758, a 10-year-old girl with red hair and freckles on her face, caring for the children of neighbors in rural western Pennsylvania. In a few moments, Mary Campbell’s life changed forever, when Delaware Indians kidnapped her and included her in their community for the next six years.

He was the first of about 200 known cases of kidnapping white people, many of whom were at stake in the ongoing power struggle that included European countries, American colonies, and indigenous peoples who tried hard to defend their population, land, and their way of life.

Although Mary finally returned to her white family – and some evidence shows that she had lived happily with the Indians who adopted her – her experience was a warning to white settlers, which sparked fears of barbarous Indians, and created paranoia which escalated into hatred of Indian tribes.

Reporting from History.com, since Europeans arrived on the American coast, the coastal region became a shared space between conflicting differences, which caused the government of the United States (US) to authorize more than 1,500 wars, attacks and raids against Indians —The most attacks ever done by any country in the world against its original inhabitants.

At the end of the Indian War at the end of the 19th century, around 238 thousand native populations still remained — a sharp decline from the estimated 5 million to 15 million Indian tribes who lived in North America when Columbus arrived in 1492.

There are many reasons for this racial genocide. The invaders – most of whom were prohibited from inheriting property in Europe – arrived on the American coast and thirsty for Indian land, and the abundant natural resources that accompanied it. Indian collusion with Britain during the American Revolution and the War of 1812, exacerbated American hostility and suspicion of them.

Even more basic, Indians are too different: Their skin is dark. Their language is foreign. And their worldview and spiritual beliefs are beyond the comprehension of most white people. For the invaders who were afraid that their loved ones might become the next Mary Campbell, all this sparked racial hatred and paranoia, which made it easy for them to describe the Indians as bar people who had to be killed in the name of civilization and Christianity.

The following are some of the most aggressive acts of genocide ever committed against Native Americans, according to a History.com report:

GNADDENHUTTEN MASSACRES
In 1782, a group of Moravian Protestants in Ohio killed 96 Christian Delaware Indians, which illustrates the increasing insult to the natives. Captain David Williamson ordered repentant Delaware citizens – blamed for attacks on white settlements – to go to a can shop, where the militias beat them to death with wooden hammers and axes.

Ironically, the Delaware were the first Indians to arrest a white settler and the first to sign a US-Indian agreement four years earlier — an agreement that set a precedent for 374 Indian agreements over the next 100 years.

Often using the common phrase “peace and friendship”, 229 this agreement caused the tribal lands to be surrendered to the rapidly developing United States. Many of these agreements negotiated US-Indian trade relations, and established trading systems to overthrow the British and their goods — especially weapons that they put in Indian hands.

TIPPECANOE BATTLE
In the early 1800s, the revival of the charismatic warlord Shawnee, Tecumseh, and his brother, known as the ‘Prophet’, convinced the Indians of various tribes, that it was in their interest to stop tribal disputes and band together to protect their common interests.

The decision by Indiana County Governor (who later became President) William Henry Harrison in 1811 to attack and burn Prophetstown – the Indian capital on the Tippecanoe River – while Tecumseh was campaigning among the Choctaws to get more soldiers, incited the Shawnee leader to attack again .

This time he persuaded Britain to fight with his soldiers against America. Tecumseh’s death and defeat at the Battle of the Thames in 1813, made the Ohio border “safe” for settlers — at least temporarily.

CREEK WAR
In the South, the War of 1812 changed to the Muskogee Creek War of 1813-1814 — also known as the Red Scepter War. Being an inter-tribal conflict between the Creek Indian factions, the war also involved US militias, along with Britain and Spain, who supported the Indians to help prevent America from violating their interests.

Creek’s initial victory inspired General Andrew Jackson to retaliate with 2,500 people – mostly Tennessee militiamen – in early November 1814. In retaliation for the Creek-led massacre at Fort Mims, Jackson and his men slaughtered 186 Creek tribes in Tallushatchee. “We shoot them like dogs,” said Davy Crockett.

Desperately, the Muskogee Creek women killed their children, so that their children would not see the soldiers slaughtering them. When a woman is about to kill her baby, the famous Indian warrior, Andrew Jackson, takes the child from his mother. Later, he gave the Indian baby to his wife, Rachel, and raised him like their own child.

Jackson then wins the Red Stick War in a decisive battle at Horseshoe Bend. The next agreement requires that Creek surrender more than 21 million hectares of land to the United States.

FORCED DISPOSAL
One of the most contentious issues on the Congress floor was the Indian Expulsion Bill of 1830, which was pushed by then President Andrew Jackson. Although it was attacked by many legislators and called amoral, the bill was finally passed in the Senate by a margin of nine votes, 29 to 17, and by a smaller margin in the DPR.

In Jackson’s thoughts, more than three dozen eastern tribes blocked what he saw as settler rights to clear the wilderness, build houses, and plant cotton and other plants.

In his annual address to Congress in 1833, Jackson denounced the Indians, stating, “They do not have the intelligence, industry, moral habits, or desire for improvement that is important for making every change. Being in the midst of another superior race … they must surrender to the power of circumstances, before disappearing. “

From 1830 to 1840, US troops removed 60,000 Indians — Choctaw, Creek, Cherokee, and others — from the East in return for new territory west of Mississippi. Thousands of people died along the road known as the “Tear trail”. And as white people continue to push westward, the territory for Indians continues to shrink.

MANKATO EXECUTION
Provisions promised to the Indians through government treaties were later realized, which made Dakota Sioux residents – who were banned on land on the Minnesota border – hungry and desperate.

After the raid on the nearby white farm for food led to a deadly dispute, Dakota residents resumed their search, leading to the Little Crow War of 1862, in which 490 settlers – mostly women and children – were killed.

President Lincoln sent an army, which defeated the citizens of Dakota; and after a series of mass trials, more than 300 Dakota men were sentenced to death.

Although Lincoln reduced most of the sentence, on the day after Christmas in Mankato, military officials hanged 38 Dakota citizens at once — the largest mass execution in American history. More than 4,000 people gathered on the streets to watch, many carrying picnic baskets. Thirty-eight people were buried in shallow graves along the Minnesota River, but doctors dug up most of the bodies to be used as medical corpses.

SLAUGHTER SAND CREEK
The Indians who fought to defend their people and protect their homeland, provided much justification for American troops to kill Indians on the border, even for those who were peaceful.

On November 29, 1864, a former Methodist pastor, John Chivington, led a surprise attack on peaceful Cheyennes and Arapahos at Sand Creek in southeastern Colorado. His force consisted of 700 people, mainly volunteers in the First and Third Colorado Regiments.

Drunk from drinking too much the previous night, Chivington and his men bragged that they would kill the Indians. Once upon a time, Chivington stated, “Away with those who sympathize with the Indians! I came to kill Indians, and I believe it is right and honorable to use all means under God’s heaven to kill Indians. “

On that cold morning, Chivington led his army against 200 Cheyennes and Arapahos. Cheyenne Black Kettle leader, had tied the American flag to the pole of his cabin when he was ordered, to show that his village wanted to make peace. When Chivington ordered the attack, Black Kettle tied a white flag under the American flag, calling on his people that the soldiers would not kill them. But as many as 160 people were slaughtered, mostly women and children.

CUSTER CAMPAIGN
This time, a war hero from the Civil War appeared in the West. George Armstrong Custer rode with the Irish Seventh Cavalry, mostly Irish. Custer wants fame, and killing Indians – especially those who are peaceful and not hoping to be attacked – is an opportunity.

On orders from General Philip Sheridan, Custer and the Seventh Cavalry attacked Cheyennes and their Arapaho allies on the western border of the Indian Territory on November 29, 1868, near the Washita River. After slaughtering 103 soldiers, plus women and children, Custer told Sheridan that “a great victory had been achieved,” and described that, “One, the Indians were asleep. Two, women and children don’t give much resistance. Three, Indians are confused by our policy changes. “

Custer then led the Seventh Cavalry in the northern plains against Lakota, Arapahos, and North Cheyennes. He boasted, “The Seventh Cavalry can handle whatever it encounters,” and “there are not enough Indians in the world to defeat the Seventh Cavalry.”

Hoping for another big victory, Custer attacked the gathering of the greatest warriors on the plateau on June 25, 1876 – near the Little Big Horn river in Montana. Custer’s death at the hands of the Indians increased propaganda for military revenge, to bring “peace” to the border.

WOUNDED KNEE
Anti-Indian anger increased in the late 1880s, when the spiritual Ghost Dance movement emerged, which spread to dozens of tribes in 16 states, and threatened attempts to assimilate tribal communities culturally.

Ghost Dance – which taught that Indians had been defeated and locked up because they had angered the gods by abandoning their traditional customs – called for rejection of the white man’s way of life.

In December 1890 — a few weeks after the famous Sioux Sitting Bull Chief was killed when captured — the US Army’s Seventh Cavalry massacred 150 to 200 Ghost Dance members in Wounded Knee, South Dakota.

For the massacre they committed against Lakota, President Benjamin Harrison gave about 20 soldiers the Medal of Honor.

RESILIENCE
Three years after Wounded Knee, Professor Frederick Jackson Turner announced at a small meeting of historians in Chicago, that “the borders have been closed,” with his famous thesis that put forward American exclusions.

The famous statue of James Earle Fraser’s “End of the Trail” – which debuted in 1915 at the Panama-Pacific International Exhibition in San Francisco – exemplifies the idea of ​​a race that was destroyed and disappeared. Ironically, more than 100 years later, the American Indian population has survived into the 21st century and swelled to more than 5 million people, according to History.com.

5 Miraculous Facts of the 100 Million Genocide of Indian Tribes

So far, we consider that the most terrible genocide tragedy occurred in the Nazi era led by Hilter and the Soviet led by Stalin. At that time millions of people were slaughtered in a terrible way, some were shot, left to starve to be given poison gas so that death was rapid and numerous. The times of the first and second world wars were long periods where human lives were like worthless trash.

Long before the massacre of millions of people occurred in the era of the two dictators above. The American Plains has experienced for hundreds of years. Even since the arrival of Europeans to America, the slaughter of millions of Native Indian tribes has begun. The amount is not kidding, it is estimated there are 50-100 million Indian tribes killed by cruelly slaughtered by Europeans who came. The following is a full review.

1. Bringing Deadly Seedlings
Before the arrival of Europeans to America occurred. The vast continent is a very peaceful region. There is no such thing as division which eventually leads to the death of many people. When Europeans entered, the territory in America gradually began to be controlled because it contained a lot of natural resources which were very abundant.

To get soil in America, a germ of the disease below from Europe. Indians who are still very natural are certainly not immune to diseases such as typhus, yellow fever to leptospirosis spread by mice. As a result, the Indian population is sharply thinning. Even in parts of Massachusetts alone, 90% of the population died as a result of the epidemic brought by Europeans.

2. Land grabs with mass slaughter
Indian tribes initially welcomed the arrival of Europeans who supposedly began with the arrival of Columbus. This good reception was responded to in a terrible way. Nations from Europe actually want a lot of land in America. Although only migrants, the greedy attitude of the Europeans made the Indians hate and drive them out.

Know not liked, the Europeans finally made several strategic territorial struggles. They do everything from threatening with sophisticated weapons to committing murder. Finally, gradually a lot of land in America occupied by European nations, especially the British and French empires.

3. The Great War That Occurred Over Tens of Decades
Native American tribes certainly do not want to just land is colonized and made a colony of immigrants. Eventually they put up a massive resistance to defend their territory which was running low. The Europeans who eventually founded America became furious with this relentless endeavor, and finally they mobilized a large army to wage a big war.

At least from 1776-1815, war with Indian tribes was carried out on a very large scale. The American founding nation carried out mass killings of Indian tribes in the villages without mercy. In those days, it was not uncommon to find villages full of dead bodies scattered about. Oh yes, in addition to carrying out attacks with gunfire and explosions, Europeans also carry diseases such as dysentery and smallpox which are very dangerous.

4. Bulk cleaning of Indians
The American founder is very greedy and willing to do anything to get his way. One of the things done by them is to make rules for eviction. Many Indians were asked to move to the territory they had provided. If the Indians refuse to leave, the American government has the right to force, condemn to the point of possible direct murder.

This transfer certainly made many Indians refuse. They are Native Americans, how could they go and not get their ancestral land. Eventually many Indians refused to be relocated to the provided zone. The effect is of course the slaughter of many innocent Indian tribes blindly.

5. The biggest slaughter to the unforgettable
Perhaps the biggest massacre in America occurred during the California Gold Rush. When gold was discovered in California. Knowing this Indians certainly do not want to be told to go to another region. Eventually there was war and mass slaughter only because gold was sought after by migrants in the American region.

Furthermore, there was an Indian War that took place in several areas such as Sand Creek, Bear River to Wonded Knee. These wars, the slaughter is absolutely unstoppable. Millions of Indians were slaughtered in a terrible way. Violence and destruction like the apocalypse that occurred in the region will not be forgotten by the Indians until now.

Here are five sad facts about the massacre of millions of Indian tribes in America. In the past, this Native American tribe was treated like trash by immigrants. Owned land for thousands of years must be seized and eventually become modern America as it is now.
