Re: Genocide of the Serbs
On the contrary, I did not want to start any arguments here. I do not expect anything from anyone, but I am merely interested in bringing the truth forward. So many Serbs like me listen on a monthly, weekly, if not daily basis in the Western media that Serbs are genocidal, are rapists, "ethnic cleansers," monsters, etc. I don't deny that there were many atrocities perpetrated by our side in the 1990s (I am ashamed of any atrocity perpetrated in my name), but there were very many by the other sides against us in the 1990s as well (the West covered these up), and the historical context is crucial (if people knew about WWII Croatia/Bosnia, they would understand why Croatian and Bosnian Serbs were so opposed to the independence of these two countries from Yugoslavia). It is quite simply refreshing to tell the truth (in real life, on an online forum, such as this), and to simply have some people respond with understanding, with sympathy, as you all have here. Thank you, all.
Just to be factually correct, also, you are right about WWI, but about WWII not exactly. The largest victims (as an ethnic group) were Jews and Gypsies, followed by Russians, Poles, and Serbs. As for what countries experienced the worst killing rates as a whole (not specifying the ethnicity of the victim), it was first Poland, and then the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia were tied in 2nd place.
