Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.The term "genocide" was coined by Raphael Lemkin (1900-1959), a Polish-Jewish scholar, 1944, firstly from Latin "gens, gentis" meaning "birth, race, stock, kind" or the Greek root "genos" with the same meaning; secondly from Latin -cidium (cutting, killing) via French -cide.Genocide does not necessarily have to mean killing or massacring by murder or military action. Genocide can come in various forms including: starvation, deplacement, serious bodily or mental harm, lowering quality of life to the point where the culture is unable to sustain itself and grow, imposing measures to prevent birth within the group or forcibly transferring children of the group to another group.Some examples of genocide include: transatlantic slave trade, genocide of the Native Americans, the Herero Genocide, the Armenian Genocide, the Great Famine/ Ukrainian Genocide, Rape of Nanking, the Holocaust, Mao Tse-Tung's Cultural Revolution, the Cambodian Genocide, Genocide in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Rwandan Genocide, and the Genocide in Darfur.
