“Hitler’s concept of concentration camps as well as the practicality of genocide owed much, so he claimed, to his studies of English and United States history. He admired the camps for Boer prisoners in South Africa and for the Indians in the wild west; and often praised to his inner circle the efficiency of America’s extermination – by starvation and uneven combat – of the red savages who could not be tamed by captivity.”

– P. 202, “Adolph Hitler” by John Toland

He was more impressed by the Turkish genocide of the Armenians and was more greatly influenced by the German genocide of the Herero in South West Africa (Namibia) more than the British murder of 26,000 women and children in South Africa during the Boer war.

100 million native americans were murdered: the most of any genocide to date in history-



I'm not saying a lot of natives were murdered in the name of progress, but 100 million? First you would have to accept the absolute highest estimate of native population when Europeans first set foot on these lands, then you would have to assume each and every one was murdered. Fact is, most died from diseases brought over by the Europeans long before westward expansion was past a couple hundred miles from the east coast. Even though smallpox was deliberately introduced to the native populations, by that time the damage was already done and those contaminations accounted for only a small fraction of the total deaths.

WOW! Is there a sight or study for that referenced number?!

Matt



Nah. The highest current estimates for the native population in the late 15th century is 100 million, but this number is disputed. Low estimate is 10 million. Again, disputed.

Semantics:

You are comparing apples to oranges.

Rough estimates say that more than 100 billion humans have died on earth. You cannot refute that by saying current world population is 7 billion.

Yes, I know. I was merely pointing out the likely source of his number.

Custer Had It Coming!

Darwin was, once again, proven correct that day. ;)


Had it not been for Custer's enormous ego, it might have had a different out-come.
Question; Why, when the Native People 'won' a battle with the Whites, it was a massacre? When the Whites 'won', it was a victory? :|
