The Interamwhe and the Janjaweed were responsible for the attacks, burnings, killing of men and children, and rape between the women. In both cases, the world hasn’t done anything to stop the impending attacks. Rwanda’s genocide took place in the whole country, whether it is rural or urban setting. The Interamwhe were positioned around the country beating and killing all Tutsis they set their eyes on. Sudan’s genocide took place only in Darfur, more specifically, Western Darfur.

Both of those are terrible things, but it is even more important to look more closely, and realize the smaller, just as important things that were ruined, like the incredible, self taught languages that they developed. Now, we can look back and appreciate the language for being so incredible, but we can also look back feeling shameful that something like that happened. It is such a shame that a sense of greed (land and expansion) on the settlers’ parts led to the destruction and near extinction of the people that were here
And after Napoleon, the monarchy was actually restored, although it was a constitutional monarchy and not the absolutist monarchy that France had known before the revolution. France only got worse because of the revolution.

It took France years and years until the country was recovered from the revolution. The fact that they still celebrate the 14th of July shows the rest of the world that they haven't learned of their mistakes.
I believe that what happened in the 1830s was evil. The Cherokee lived in those lands all their lives, parents, grandparents, children, and infants all were treated with the same amount of cruelty.

According to Youk Chhang, the Executive Director of the Documentation Center of Cambodia and also runs the Cambodia Tribunal Center website, claims that a couple days after they had taken control, “ ...the Khmer Rouge forced perhaps two million people in Phnom Penh and other cities into the countryside to undertake agricultural work “ (3). They went door-to-door, demanding people to gather their belongings and to evacuate. If the citizens did not comply, they were shot on the spot. In addition to the two million people that were captured, Youk Chhang also claimed that people panicked and wanted to stay alive but despite wanting that, thousands of people died because of the evacuation itself.

Unity or independence was very important to the colonists before the Revolutionary War because they didn’t have the rights we do today. Colonists couldn’t trade with the world, weren’t protected of their rights, imposed taxes, and a lot more. The king of the colonies had treated them with a lot of disrespect.
