For me it's got to be the "Human Experimentation" during WW2. Japan would do horrible things to innocent Japanese people for absolutely no reason. When America found out about it, they let them keep doing it as long as they shared their findings with America. Horrible, right?

When my sister in law kept having miscarriages the doctor said that the most research they had on how to keeping pregnant were done in the concentration camps. He said we have so much knowledge on how to get pregnant because there are enough women who want to be tested on but no one wants to be a test person on how to stay pregnant. Every time I think of this it saddens me.

During the United States westward expansion, the country officials would send out troops to kill off all the buffalo found. They would just kill them and leave them there to rot. Why? So that the native people who followed the herds and depended on them for their livelihoods, and used every part of the animal in their day to day life wouldn't be able to. This is how the battles were won by the United States and the Tribes forced onto Reservations. Makes the song lyics, "Give me a home where the buffalo roam" take on a whole new meaning, right? The very worst part for me is that this was introduced to me as a throw away sentence in my 4th grade social studies book.

Well, if you look at the history of all the colonizing countries, the natives of all the colonized lands were treated as if they were the interlopers and that they should feel lucky if any of them survived in any capacity. There are countries with very few if any natural natives left. Most of the stories I am familiar with are from the European countries, but there are just as many atrocities to be found in the history of any group of people that took over land that was not theirs including the histories of Africa and Asia. Calling it "colonizing" is really just a euphemism for "invading."
