Default genocides and massacres

One should always be wary of any nationalist denial of an historical act of genocide. The world's great historians are those who take what is fact -- that is, objective reality -- and help us interpret it. But the starting point is fact.

When a German claims there was no holocaust, be wary.

When a Japanese person denies the "rape of Nanking" in China, be wary.

So, when a Turk says there was no Armenian genocide, be wary.

When an American denies the wholesale extermination of native peoples as part of "manifest destiny," be wary.

When a Sudanese claims not to know of any atrocities in Darfur, be wary.

And so on ...
