Do you feel like the Armenian/Greek/Assyrian genocide had an important impact on later genocides in the twentieth century? Do feel like calling in the first modern age genocide is giving it too much credit?

What about the holocaust?

I was thinking that too, but I'm under the impression people just say that because it's better known.

Hitler was literally inspired by it when deciding to plan the genocide of Slavs.
>I have issued the command -- and I'll have anybody who utters but one word of criticism executed by a firing squad -- that our war aim does not consist in reaching certain lines, but in the physical destruction of the enemy. Accordingly, I have placed my death-head formations in readiness -- for the present only in the East -- with orders to them to send to death mercilessly and without compassion, men, women, and children of Polish derivation and language. Only thus shall we gain the living space (Lebensraum) which we need. Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?

They literally used makeshift gas chambers to kill the Armenians, by forcing them into caves and lighting fires at the entrance to poison them with carbon monoxide. I even heard that there were German soldiers involved at the time, but I can't for the life of me remember where I read that, so take it with a pinch of salt.

Hitler was a proto-unabomber.
>Gosh, Heinz, I don't know about this Jew-killing thing.
>Nein, Hitler! For you to be the very best, you muuust kill the Jews.
>But my dog is Jewish....
>Kill it. Remember, never mention me or your dog ever again. Killing the Jews was your idea!
>Yes... What a wondervaal idea of mine own mind!... Heinz?... Heinz, where did you go? Heinz, why am I suddenly in jail....

I both heard claims for and against Hitler being inspired by the Turks. So, is it really true that there is direct influence between this genocide and the Holocaust?

Is anyone else starting to wonder if the Turks might've been onto something when they killed all those Armenians?

>System of a Down
Come on man. They're alright.
>>1639288
Those are some genocidal dubs right there.
