Question

The origin of the term "genocide" and international laws to prevent it followed (3 points) War on Terror Korean War World War I World War II

Answer 1

Following World War II, there was a deliberation that something like that should never happen again - people didn't want to see huge masses of people being killed anymore just because they're from a different race/religion, etc.

With the genocide of jews - this was the common idea and the term genocide originated out of the second World War.

Answer 2

I choose World War II. It was not just about armies fighting each other but also concerned the decimation of an entire race of people. During WWII, the Germans tried to wipe out the Jews in Europe and almost succeeded had not the allies arrived and liberated the camps where the Jews were held. This also led the establishment of international laws to prevent genocide and convict those who perpetuate it.
