The purposeful ethnic cleansing of a group of people from that ethnic group.

Why so surprised with this ? Killing is nature of human, We literally killed our brothers and sisters when we make it to the womb.

>>932406
so, yes?

Massacres were commonplace in every war at the time, it is only called genocide because the conquistadors were white and the victims were brown.

So no.

>>932398

No. It was incredibly brutal, but the goal was to conquer, not exterminate. The fact that 95% ended up dying off was mostly due to disease spread without even their knowledge.

>>932398
There are many things in history that were considered ordinary at the time but which now would be considered acts of genocide (e.g. the destruction of Carthage).

If you research long enough you'll find that only a fraction of what has been passed as genocide has actually been one.

>>932398
It wasn't, at least not intentionally.
The spaniards conquered them to keep them as servants.

Was just about to post this.

The conquistadors certainly mistreated and led many of them to die, but they didn't show up and say "all right lads, let's erase these brown people from existence"
