World War II got to be the pinnacle of human savagery

[Alvin]

There were concentration camps for Japanese people in America during WWII

And Germans and Italians

What some good WW2 documentaries?

The one by ken burns

Japanese troops 'ate flesh of enemies and civilians'

George HW was the only person who got away too

What's the point of a conquest when you have no one to rule over? It's just senseless slaughter at that point.

That was demonic vengeance, I mean they weren't even on the Khan's sights at the time. That shyt wouldn't have happened if Muhammad II didn't overreact to the Mongols. I'm not saying the whole nation needed to get clapped but Genghis did try diplomacy with him twice.

Sadly it's not but it's close.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. The 20th century was the most bloody, savage and oppressive century of human history. No century comes close to it.

Can't believe I missed this thread. Good stuff.

I get what the OP is saying, since the human population was supposed to be "civilized" in the 20th century with all its advancements.

You could spend a lifetime learning about the Second World War alone. I'm 23 and I still learn something new about that war at least twice a year.

A lot is talked about with Nazi atrocities (rightfully so) but the Japanese were on another too.

 

[Mowgli]

I just got done reading about the Ustaše - Wikipedia

They did truly demonic shyt that made a Nazi blush


I went even further down the rabbit hole and learned about the expulsion of Germans during and after the war and how it rivals the Partition of India.




Finnish soldiers even used frozen Russian bodies as scarecrows!!!




The mass rapes by the Soviets

The Holocaust

And that's just the European theatre. You'll get sick just learning about what the Japanese did in Asia

It's like the world played a collective game on how demonic we can be

We?

You mean the white man

 

[Mowgli]

I agree. In terms of mass death and sheer size of conflict, nothing in human history comes close.
In that way the nuclear bomb is a blessing and curse. If we went 100% next time, humans are wiping themselves off the planet.

Black peoples experience with whites overshadows both wws

There are some good docs on WW2 on Netflix right now.
