A list of state massacres

I know this is a horrid gruesome subject, but the revolting thing is that this list is not exhaustive. There are massacres from Argentina's 19th Century treatment of Native Americans, to worldwide not appearing. I do think it is important as a subject though, as these numbers are used by pollical sides, which I think is fair enough, and it is interesting to know the situation, It is a dark dark subject, and experts like Rummel, and news reporters, and more, do the research that matters. So this page, lists worst regimes, and then a horrible list of massacres committed by states, again, which I think needs to be known. I know it is a dark subject but I think it is important for reference for the truth, and so the victims can not be forgotten, and the lessons of history can be learned. Not just so you can use them to attack others in political arguments, but to learn from and know the truth.

In the 1790s, France hit it's phase where a revolutionary regime took over this was invaded as of the French King's wishes, and the neighbouring monarchies, but this attack failed. And by the late 1790s, the French forces drove the invasions out of their country. One of the armies marched down and conquered Southern Italy, But in 1799 Royalist revolts came, and pushed into a rebellion, they then started to massacre the Jacobins in Naples. Royalist and Papal, and Lazzaroni, who were the poor who supported the Bourbons, and Lord Nelson himself and his armies attacked Naples, over the next few years. The French and local Italian supporters armies reached Naples a few other times, but eventually by 1815, there had been a number of massacres. The numbers involved in these massacres is hard to fathom from simple internet searches, it could have been tens of thousands on both sides. I am sure it was thousands. I have read it was over 10,000 by both, in scenes that rival the reign of terror in France in barbarity. Maybe it is too complicated and disgusting to have a simple narrative.  

Shockingly also, there are claims that 20,000 French commune, members were executed a by a royalist army in 1870, after thousands died on the barricades. In the end it was only chance, and action by surviving leftist politicians  that saw the elections result in a more centrist republican regime, as of certain moves by officials, rather than a rightist regime. 

I am not putting Britain down here, it is a great country but also in the 1770s Britain also did another atrocity, thousands of US soldiers died on pow hulks. 

Worse than that, in the Napoleonic war, on the island of Carbrera, it seems thousands more French POWs died, under miss treatment. Then again, the French were doing bad stuff as well. They committed massacres in Portugal, but for that matter so did us Brits at Badajoz, again the numbers are hard to identify as some claim it was hundreds, and some even say, that British massacres in the Iberian war reached thousands, which would be equivalent to the French. I have a page on the French Revolution about this. It is a horrid gruesome subject, but it is real.  

Lastly also there was a riot in Bristol in 1831, in favour of democracy where dozens maybe more died, as of action against them. I mention that there as well.  

Finally I have decided to create a stat for the Highland Clearances. So if between 150,000 and 250,000 were forcibly evicted, then surely as many went in bad conditions ships to the Americas, then there were people killed by the clearances. I have no idea of the correct stat, but it must be in the thousands, On top of that thousands more died of the famines in the Highlands of the 19th Century, nowhere near Ireland's level, but it occurred. That is why I am not a fan of Highland Clearances deniers.
