Well, Amritsar was certainly appalling- 1919, Brigadier-General Rex Dyer- what a monster.

Then of course there were the Armenian Massacres and the Syraic genocides by the Ottoman empire near and in the first world war

Oh, also Cale, forgive my Ignorance, but is Circassian similar to Armenian or in a different language group?

Whenever I think of the word "Massacre", My Lai comes to mind. Terrible, and the pictures are horrible too.

The 2 worst recent history massacares are the holocost and the Armenian Genocide.Ancient massacares I am undecided upon.

    The name Circassian is given by outsiders i am not sure but i think Araps gave the name Circassians to Adige-Abhaz tribes and its diffrent than Armenian language and culture, but our culture is similair with the Goergian culture
here a link of a Caucasus map you can see the diffrent tribes http://linguarium.iling-ran.ru/maps/4-circ1860.gif

    Most Circassians 4-7 milion estimated live in Turkey and i am one of the Circassians who lives in Turkey so our Circassian language is little bit changed than in Caucasus but most are the same

There have been many other terrible massacres in this recent period in history! The Hutsis and Tutsis in Rwanda, The Tianamen square massacre. The Armenian massacres and the holocaust are by no means the only terrible massacres (well, the Holocaust was definatly the worst) The 20th/21st century has been the most violent century EVER

I think nobody has said the Indian genocide by USA.
And St. Bartolomew's day massacre.
And the massacres made by Pol Pot's Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.
And inquisition masacres (in Spain, but also in Portugal, Italy or France) and other religious persecutions like in England by Richard I or Elizabeth I.

Turk massacre in the Balkans. More than 5 million Turks have been killed by the help of Russians, French and Britons by Serbs, Greeks and Bulgars in the second half of the 19th century until 1910.

In WW1, Armenians, by the help of Russian army, massacred around 700.000 Turks in East Anatolia.

We are not supposed to discuss this...but your source of the 700,000 is..? (McCarthy I am sure)

as well as the 5 million...

both of those claims have been disproven over and over in various AE threads regarding the Armenian Genocide

Mongolia proper (or the nation of Mongolia) has a population of 2.5 million.
 
Inner Mongolia (which is a part of the People's Republic of China) has a population of 7.5 million Mongols.

The Armenians also massacred and raped hundreds of thousands of Muslim Turks, Tatars, and Kurds following the demise of the Ottoman Empire.

Well i suppose you could get a 'massacre index no.' Numbers dead divided by time taken in days (in case of years use 365). inaccurate but still an effective rank.

however its still pretty gruseome to compare massacres and rank them....
i mean nome were particualrly fun to be part of.....
history is bunk

Would you care to point to any of those threads where the figures have been as you claim "disproven"?

I did provide academic references for these figures, published in reputable scientific journals.

5.5 million Muslims (mostly Turks) were killed between 1820 and 1920 during the collapse of the Ottoman Empire, and as many were exiled. This you cannot deny, and if you try to deny it we will not let you deny it as long as we live.

I am growing increasingly exacerbated at your cynical Armeniocentric worldview, and your apparent insistance that only Armenian suffering merits considerations and the title of a Genocide, whereas the Turkish dead must be forgotten and ignored.

The worst Genocide is ongoing. People are still being killed in Darfur and are still dying from starvation and exposure.
