Ethnic Conflicts

In many countries and many periods a person’s ethnic identity has had profound consequences for his or her physical safety, political status, and economic prospects. Violent confrontation along ethnic lines is the most apparent form of ethnic conflict, and it recently has claimed lives in such diverse places throughout the world. The three most terrible ethnic conflicts have been the conflict in Rwanda, in former Yugoslavia, and The Holocaust during World War II in Europe.

First, one of the most great conspiration that passed in the world was Rwanda Genocide. All happened because Hutu's people, which take control of Rwanda in the middle of the century with a rebellion, tried to kill all Tutsi people, just for hate reasons. In the massacre, government takes planning in the action, and with Hutu's people help, they kill 4/5 parts of Tutsi population. After Hutus victory, the Ruanda Patriotic Front created a coalition government that was disolved to 2003. One of the most hits for nation was the economy stability because a lot of money was spent to buy weapons against Tutsi people.

Another conflict in 90's was Yugoslav wars. Started with ethnic different, among serbs, croats, bosniaks and slovens, the war was divided in three different phases: war in Slovenia, Croatian War of Independence and Bosnian War. Differences between these groupies caused an approximate of 140,000 people deaths and a devastating effect of Yugoslavia economy, mainly for military costs. At the end of each sub-war, a independence was achieved of each nation but with highly prices. Sadly, not all aggression was stopped because between Bosnia's people started an internal war rape with the intention of avoiding Serbian expansionist. Mainly womans were rape an required to take child of aggressors. After a few years, serious decisions was taked against this terrible violation.

Finally, the most impacting and known genocide attack was lived in World War II. The mainly apocalyptic issue, that authors talk about this event, was a lot of money which was used to finance all destruction and dead. Like Ronald Fuchs, an important american proffesor, said: “It'll be a great day when education gets all the money it wants and the Air Force has to hold a bake sale to buy bombers”. Also, political establishment was affected because allies group divide Germany territory in two parts, that improves more violence subsequent years and population instability. Fatalities for World war period covers 50 million to over 70 million of deads.

Ethnic conflicts such aconocidas in Rwanda, former Yugoslavia, and The Holocaust during World War II triggered the worst feelings a human being can have. Any country or society can go through such terrors. Different religion, race, and beliefs are not good reasons to kill each other. It depends on new generations not to repeat the terrible crimes against
