· Darfur
· Khmer Rouge in Cambodia
· Tibet
· Rwanda
· Black War in Australia
· Iraqi Kurds
· Bosnia and Herzegovina
· Other specific examples of colonialism

You may click on a a link above to go to the Wikipedia page about the example. Read through the information on Wikipedia, and respond to the following in your notebook:

1. Dates of this persecution/colonialism event.
2. Describe the persecutors.
3. Describe those being persecuted.
4. What is the general nature of the conflict?
