79 years ago on August 9, 1945 the 2nd worst genocide in human history occured at Nagasaki

You don't know what genocide means.

None of these people claiming “Genocide” know the definition of a Genocide and are keyboard warriors. This is sad, we are regressing as a population.

Don't get me started, Jerusalem used to be ruled by the Greeks and Romans called the Byzantines 2300-1400 years ago. (yes actual people of European descent lived here for hundreds and hundreds of years) . Though the city of Jerusalem has an ancient history even before that. The first Muslim armies (from present day Saudi Arabia) basically forced the Byzantines in Jerusalem to move out or all be killed . Patriarch Sophronius surrendered the city or else a massacre would take place by Umar ibn al-Khattab. I don’t know if everyone was forced to move out or if those who converted to Islam would be spared but the rest is history , Crusaders tried to take back the land and claim it was their divine Christian right to rule. They failed and the place became Islamic again. Islam is really one of those religions which divided the world more than anything else. It just happened 1000+ years ago so there were no cameras around and those guys claimed they were sent by God so painted themselves in a positive and holy light. You also have the Islamophobia word used as a shield from criticism, at least in some countries.

Not a genocide, it was one privileged group bombing another. It's not even a tragedy, it's barely even a sad story really.

I think you missed your opportunity to make this thread at "75 years ago...". Probably need to wait for "100 years ago..." now.

:(

The same amount of people died in the Dresden fire bombing. Is it less of a tragedy if it's many bombs instead of one?

As brutal as the bombs were, they might be the reason you are here today (one of my grandfathers was in theater when the armistice was signed, while the other was in Hawaii and would have been on the next ship over). A conventional invasion of mainland Japan would have cost around a million American lives (and more than that in Japanese lives). Ultimately the bombs likely saved more lives on both sides by breaking the spirit of the Empire of Japan. In terms of genocide, try reading a book some time about what the Japanese did to the inhabitants of the islands in the South Pacific that they took over during the war.

You might want to ask people from China, Rwanda, Poland, Cambodia, Ukraine, Philippines, Armenia, Jews from Western Europe, indigenous peoples of the new world, and several other locations about that.
