The Russian revolution, the Holocaust, the adoption of Christianity by Constantine I. Alexander's conquests would also be considered an extreme area.

Well, if we consider Hittites as a Circassian dynasty, then that's possible.

In terms of sheer terror and brutality concentrated in a short span of time: the Rwandan genocide. 900,000 people killed in 3 months. By comparison, the Holocaust killed 6 million in 4 years; at the pace of the Rwandan genocide, it would have been about 11.5 milllion. Also, the methods of the Rwandan genocide make it particularly brutal: most people were killed with machetes and clubs.

The revolt of An Lu Shan in T'ang dynasty China caused 20 million deaths in less than 5 years, from a population of 50 million. A large proportion of those deaths were indirect though, as a result of starvation.

Temur Lenk is estimated to have been responsible for the deaths of 6 million people in his lifetime.
