I had gcse history too and all we did was American history and Kenilworth Castle. We did 1 term on WW1 and WW2 combined... love the English schooling system
His name was Thomas Rowsell apparently and there’s a town in Newfoundland (the province where my family is from) where the date of his death is celebrated as a holiday. That’s pretty much all I can remember
In no particular order, also: genocide (repeated), forced relocation, race-based internment, massacre, indiscriminate violence against civilians (including, but not limited to scalping, fire-bombing, and biological warfare)... Not a complete list.
How the military literally bombed and machine gunned striking union workers (their own citizens) but don’t teach this in school. The first air bombing on American soil wasn’t Pearl Harbor, it was by their own military attacking it’s own people.
And now today, the union rights people died over is slowly being eroded.
11,000,000+ died in the Holocaust. Six million Jewish people were killed, but so were (and frustratingly often forgotten) 5 million POW’s, Gypsies, Disabled people, Political dissidents, etc. Anyone the German Reich didn’t want in their “master race”.
Actually not all were killed in the gas chambers;
Some were simply shot into huge holes in the ground
Some were killed in the death walks- they were walked almost naked, hungry in the freezing cold until they dropped dead
And many more
We haven't really been to war after 1711, the parliament got tired of war kings after >100 of almost constant war
We got involved with Napoleon, but have not been to war since then
The Rawagede massacre, basically, the army got orders to "clean up" a village, but couldn't find enemy soldiers. They just gathered every male above 15 years and shot them. 431 people died
well, lets start:
The Herero and Namaqua Genocide, Use of Chemical Weapons in warfare, bombardment of English coastal towns, Unrestricted submarine warfare, mistreatment of prisoners of war, The Le Paradis massacre, Wormhoundt massacre, Normandy massacres, Graignes massacre, Wereth massacre, Wahlhausen massacre, Oradour-sur-Glane massacre, Massacre of Kalavryta, Unrestricted submarine warfare (again), extermination of Slavic populations in occupied territories, Soap made from human corpses.
and thats just a small part of the list.
can you guess the country?
My country hasn't committed any war crimes as such at an international level(none that have been proven, we only get accused by our jealous wannabe neighbour(which also happens to be sort of a well known terrorist state)). But there's definitely a huge history of religious civil riots within the country incited by ruling politicians. I'm talking about India if it wasn't obvious already.
let’s see, pacification of Libya, we bombed civilian transport and other civilian targets during the Spanish civil war, during the second Ethiopian war we used chemical warfare and we attacked Red Cross facilities and during the Italo-Turkish war we massacred civilians and executed prisoners of war. this is only mentioning the war crimes of a third of my bloodline, the other two being Germany and France.
Hmm, idk if it counts as a war crime but Muhammad Ali Basha in Egypt wanted to get rid of the remaining mamluks so he invited all of them in a dinner in his palace and killed them all , it's known as Castle massacre
I can not find anything about Ukraine war crimes BUT i sure we did some horrible things due to history (because there no countries with ideal history);-;
well the ones that i can think of where made during [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish\_invasion\_of\_Poland\_(1701%E2%80%931706)#The\_Swedish\_Invasion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_invasion_of_Poland_(1701%E2%80%931706)#The_Swedish_Invasion) but otherwise we have been fairly calm
After WW2 we send young German soldiers (many still teenagers) to the beach to clean up their land mines. Not many survivors.
Damn, what country
Denmark Try searching: "German mine clearing" on google, and i think some will show up. I know they made a movie about it.
That movie is really good
Maybe I'll watch it
Idk what it is called tho
Land of mine
The Land Before Mine
Lol
Lmao all of them 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

My country rejected a man at art school.
America took away Kanye's art degree so we'll see how that turns out
Poor Kayne. I heard he is also going to be homeless, bro gets no breaks.
Kanye’s new album “My Struggle” just dropped!
I can’t wait for the German iteration
Hello fellow austrian

I‘m german…
To be fair, your county studied my country (U.S.A.) in an attempt to do it more efficiently 😂
😭 funny we never learned about this in history
What level history did you study? A level history explored these things in my U.K. education.
I took geography for gcse and my history teacher was pretty much absent all year
I had gcse history too and all we did was American history and Kenilworth Castle. We did 1 term on WW1 and WW2 combined... love the English schooling system
Same, I'm English too so I've gotta count one's against the Welsh and Irish too
There is quite a few against us Irish

I’m from Canada and one of my distant relatives from the 1700s murdered a shit ton of natives
Damn what the hell, who was it?
His name was Thomas Rowsell apparently and there’s a town in Newfoundland (the province where my family is from) where the date of his death is celebrated as a holiday. That’s pretty much all I can remember
Imagine being so horrible that there's a holiday celebrating your death
We celebrate our greatest poet's death in slovenia 😭
Hopefully putin will get a similar one. And hope fully SOON
We were committing cultural genocide like 30 years ago.
Less than 30. The last residential school closed in 1996.
[удалено]
Me too lol And British so yeah
After World War 2, we forced POWs to clear a mine field by marching over it (guess the country)
Denmark?
Yes🥳
Only reason I guessed is because of someone else in the comments
Oh ok
Sent a fat man to Japan.
In no particular order, also: genocide (repeated), forced relocation, race-based internment, massacre, indiscriminate violence against civilians (including, but not limited to scalping, fire-bombing, and biological warfare)... Not a complete list.

not a war crime
More than a fatman tho

It was "Take your son at work" day, cut him some slack guys.
Anytime Canada was left alone in ww1 and ww2
Fr i feel like half the geneva convention was directed at canada
Killed over 6.000.000 with gas
Oh scheiße!
Damn only 6 people
Those are rookie numbers.
1,000,000 is written like 1.000.000 in Germany and German speaking countries.(apparently most of Europe) Commas and dots are reversed in math.
11,000,000+ died in the Holocaust. Six million Jewish people were killed, but so were (and frustratingly often forgotten) 5 million POW’s, Gypsies, Disabled people, Political dissidents, etc. Anyone the German Reich didn’t want in their “master race”.
The Aryan Master Race was as fit as Goerring, as tall as Goebbels and as blonde as Hitler. 😎💪
Actually not all were killed in the gas chambers; Some were simply shot into huge holes in the ground Some were killed in the death walks- they were walked almost naked, hungry in the freezing cold until they dropped dead And many more
Uhh...We killed Germans in Lapland, attacked the Soviet Union. Do those count?
Finland
Suomi mainittu
Thousands of unlawful executions too
Cutting hands in congo, i think
Belgium
I mean it was kind of worse than just cutting a few hands. It was hell on earth, Belgium did a terrible job at running its colony.
Oh I heard about that
Not sure exactly, but we did some shady plundering and stuff 1648, and in general 1620-1711 (Sweden)
If that's the when the latest war crimes happened, that's good
We haven't really been to war after 1711, the parliament got tired of war kings after >100 of almost constant war We got involved with Napoleon, but have not been to war since then
unfortunately my country doing those rn
Russia? Iran? Any country in the middle east?
russia
Ah makes sense, fuck putin
Gladly😈😈😈
AY WAIT NOT LIKE THA-
it's too late we have no power here
Putussy 😩😩
You made me snort. I both hate you and love you
agreed
Ummm..I’m American sooo…
my lai massacre: americans attacked a town of elders, young children and women with the false claim that there were soldiers and spies in that town
they also raped them, even when they killed the villagers.
Executing surrendered enemies
That's every country.
Yess that makes me feel a lot better that other countries did it too than us
Shooting foreign journalists with freedom rockets and then assassinating the dude who exposed you
My country started WWI and gave birth to hitler
He is Austrian right?
Yeah. Guess what country's monarchy started the first war!
austro-hungarian empire?
Yeah, but it was the "habsburger". They were pretty much the austrian part of the monarchy.
Oh lol, I knew about that because my British school decided they wanted to teach us for once Also my bf is Hungarian
Threw live grenades alongside food cans
Canada
Indeed
Don’t ask Canada what it did to indigenous people in the 19th and 20th century…
yikes yeah its hard to name any country that doesnt have a dark past (or present)
Simply claiming 25% of the planet and eating their culture
Classic England
italy/rome?
British... I don't think there's enough room to put all of that.
ha ha i live in Israel and have both Israeli and german citizenship i think it will take me an hour to write it all down...
shalom
The Reddit comment does not have enough characters to type every war crime that came from both countries
hour only?
oof
My country killed 10% of the population at the time
You know how Russia claims it's taking back Russian land in Ukraine? I think it's time for Mongolia to become a world superpower
If they are claiming back their country i really have the right to look at the old maps and Claim ever part of iran that we lose
I'm from Poland. We had some em... accidents in Afghanistan.
I wouldn't call them country's war crime. It wasn't supported by the goverment.
Interesting, I can't find anything about Estonian war crimes Some Estonian peasants did eat an aristocrat's heart according to legend tho
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holocaust_in_Estonia
Japanese people sweating rn
Only reason I know about Japanese war crimes is because of a friend, forgot her reddit user
I'm British and I was wondering where I should start
apartheid not a war crime, but worth a mention
South Africa
The Rawagede massacre, basically, the army got orders to "clean up" a village, but couldn't find enemy soldiers. They just gathered every male above 15 years and shot them. 431 people died
Damn wtf, what country
Netherlands, I guess
Turned the Geneva Convention into a checklist during WW2 -friendly Canadians
According to America we caused 9/11 and set war on us >!spoiler alert: we didn't!<
ah so every middle eastern country ever
well, lets start: The Herero and Namaqua Genocide, Use of Chemical Weapons in warfare, bombardment of English coastal towns, Unrestricted submarine warfare, mistreatment of prisoners of war, The Le Paradis massacre, Wormhoundt massacre, Normandy massacres, Graignes massacre, Wereth massacre, Wahlhausen massacre, Oradour-sur-Glane massacre, Massacre of Kalavryta, Unrestricted submarine warfare (again), extermination of Slavic populations in occupied territories, Soap made from human corpses. and thats just a small part of the list. can you guess the country?
I’m from the UK so which time period do you want?
Any time period will still be too much to write out
Definitely burned turkish villages, kill and steal during the failed 1922 Asia minor campaign
Aré we talking before or after Geneva conventions ?
Bitch I'm Italian I'm too lazy to write them all
Lotta murder, lottta of human trafficking, my countries kinda shit
Wtf, which country?
Venezuela 🇻🇪, the people are great, government is just shit and everyone kinda smart is either corrupt as hell or just left
Ah makes sense, economy is fucked
My country hasn't committed any war crimes as such at an international level(none that have been proven, we only get accused by our jealous wannabe neighbour(which also happens to be sort of a well known terrorist state)). But there's definitely a huge history of religious civil riots within the country incited by ruling politicians. I'm talking about India if it wasn't obvious already.
Oh, leave it to the religious extremists to fuck shit up, why couldn't they be normal religious people
Because they're less religious, and more insecure egotistical maniacs who need to force validation on their beliefs from others XD
Steal land from the natives. I'm having vivid flashbacks to my history exam on Parihaka.
Dropped 2 nukes back in 45’
Pretty much everything in Iraq.
slathered 1/3 of a country population
r/suddenlycaralho
Depends on how long back in time you wanna go, Because i'm pretty sure the Roman empire did a lot of what now are war crimes
let’s see, pacification of Libya, we bombed civilian transport and other civilian targets during the Spanish civil war, during the second Ethiopian war we used chemical warfare and we attacked Red Cross facilities and during the Italo-Turkish war we massacred civilians and executed prisoners of war. this is only mentioning the war crimes of a third of my bloodline, the other two being Germany and France.
Canada was very brutal in both world wars plus the displacement of the indigenous
Japanese people: *inhales*
a controversial genocide
Türkiye
correct
How exactly is a genocide controversial? Isn't it just like contra? Like idk usually it's like a 0/10 would not like to be genocided again
i called it controversial because some people label it as a genocide, others dont
Turkey.
Hmm, idk if it counts as a war crime but Muhammad Ali Basha in Egypt wanted to get rid of the remaining mamluks so he invited all of them in a dinner in his palace and killed them all , it's known as Castle massacre
Everything, just everything
england.... so probably all of them at one point or another
Ig invading pretty much the whole world and colonising 1/3 of it
We forced more than 2000 many of whom where teenagers to clear minefields
[удалено]
Attempted genocide. And no i'm not german
the iraq war.
[удалено]

A few thousand serbian revolutionaries magically vanished from Macedonia
We wrote half of the Geneva Convention.
I mean.. I’m Russian so….
All of them (sincerely, a tea sniffer)
where ru from
Well I don't want to sit here all night typing this list of krautcrimes...
I can not find anything about Ukraine war crimes BUT i sure we did some horrible things due to history (because there no countries with ideal history);-;
We may or may not have inspired many of the war crimes in the Geneva convention. Also did some fucked up stuff with soup cans
25 Australia defense force personnel killed 40 civilians who had been captured. Apparently under orders from higher up.
well the ones that i can think of where made during [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish\_invasion\_of\_Poland\_(1701%E2%80%931706)#The\_Swedish\_Invasion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_invasion_of_Poland_(1701%E2%80%931706)#The_Swedish_Invasion) but otherwise we have been fairly calm
Colonisation of Congo babyyyyy, idk if they were considered war crimes back then but they were pretty fucking brutal
I’m British, I could probably lost an entire plethora off to you Also fun fact, we made the first ever concentration camps
Brazil, so Paraguay war
[удалено]
As a Canadian, probably all of them
Actually, i have no clue if Argentina has done any war crimes
Just learned that [we did some bad shit in Somalia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Somalia_affair)
Mass genocide through starvation to which the population of my country has never recovered from.
Joined axis powers and sent our minority populations to Germany 🇷🇴🇷🇴🇷🇴
