We all know of a tragedy that occurred in the 20th century. I would say the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki takes the cake. Makavelis assassination was also very tragic. RIP
I would say the rape of Nanking far outweighs Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Not to mention the dozens of death camps set up by the Nazis to exterminate undesirables like Jews, Gypsies, Gays, etc.. I'm not condoning the use of nuclear bombs to wipe out civilian populations but everyone seems to forget the atrocities perpetrated by the countries that started the war in the first place.
World war 2 is easily the biggest tragedy, unless you just want a specific thing that happened on a certain day, lol. Electric technology being shutdown by oil companies decades ago was and still is one of the biggest tragedies. Wars, economical collapses, all sorts of things tie directly to money for oil.
Sorry, but I have no love for the WWII Japanese troops. As Carne has said the Japanese killed for nothing but sport and fun. They would line the Chinese up in rows to see who could slice the heads off faster, they rapped entire families to death and tortured anyone they could catch etc etc. A nazi politician (forgot his name) in Nanking was so disgusted by the atrocities he helped save the lives of the Chinese. The Japanese killed a absurd amount of people in the matter of weeks and they have never even apologized. You would truly be disgusted if you read "the rape of Nanking". Oh, and without the bombs the Japanese would have never surrendered. They were prepared to fight the invading allies with children and sharps sticks. Even the weapons they were producing at the time we're barely functioning.
Im sure the japanese are a nice people now (although they still have a fondness for watching suffering to everything in the sea lol) However there behaviour during ww11 was inexcusable. British & american pows were subjected to sadistic cruelty only for the amusenent of there guards. Downed pilots beheaded on the spot.!Nah japan reaped what they sowed.
Two most tragic event in 20th century. Dropping the A bombs and..... The death of a rapper. Try and guess what's out of place in that sentence.
No this rapper has affected way more than a few hundred thousand people over the span of almost 3 decades of which he has been dead 2 of. no other rapper would make the list for such a tragedy but Makaveli was a real power that was silenced. obviously some wont agree with me it's one life against a few hundred thousand but that's not how i work.
Yeah WW1 or 2 is too broad i'm talking more about specific events that happened in either a day or a few weeks. the nazi party was the most sadistic group of the 20th century but not really an event they were aiming for eugenics in an extreme form. never read about the rapings of nankings and i don't have a special love for the japanese actually i don't like them too much for their sea animal abuse i used to read about but the fact that we used our most powerful weapons to date on two 20th century cities is ludacris and is the epitome of genocide.
That is wrong on so many levels. There is a song (actually a rant) by Tupac where is he begging east coast to come get him. He talked super mean shit about east coast and he got himself killed. He should have known better. I can't respect that, sorry. But I do like the song "California love". It's one of my fav rap songs.
if Tupac was talking shit about the east coast it was simply an attention ploy because from what i know their was really no problems between anyone on the east and west just a bunch of gangsta rappers calling each other out and the media highlighting it like if it was worthy of media coverage. actually the fact that the media even made it an east vs west thing might be one of the most sadistic things i've seen happen in the 20th century and i just thought about it like this but it's true. he was a musician his job was to make a show and grab attention and he definitely knew how to do that too damn well and of course it got him killed but so many saw him as a martyr of sorts. speaking whatever the fuck he wants in the face of potential death, i respect that a lot. maybe because i'm a huge fan of his music and poetry is why i can see it being equally tragic to the death of 200,000 Japanese citizens.
There is more than one definition of the word, "rape". In this case it means to despoil or violate. Nanking was the capital of The Republic of China. The Japanese captured the city and the surrounding area and spent the next 6 weeks murdering the population in the most horrific ways possible. It was common practice during the massacre to rape the women and then slit their bellies so the entrails would fall out. Sometimes the soldiers would pull them out by hand. While they were still alive. Other women were raped and then impaled through their vaginas. The Japanese made a game of throwing babies into the air and impaling them on their bayonets. They spared no one. Old, young, male, female didn't matter. They had beheading competitions. It wasn't only the number killed that was horrifying but the different methods employed. The soldiers took pictures of the atrocities but burned most of them after the war was over to hide their crimes. To this day Japan will not acknowledge or apologize. It's a rift in Japanese/China relations and probably will never be healed. You can use google image to see what I'm talking about. I'm not going to post any here because they're too gruesome.
Lol @ Tupac. Who gives a fuck if some rapper was good at poetry? Still a no-good thug. Thats the tragedy of the century? Lol. Good music though you cant deny.
What about titanic? does anyone care bout titanic? i can barely take it serious lol but it really was tragic when you look at it...
