Amerindian Genocide: Difference between revisions

Line 34:

The 1890 Yaqui Uprising against President [[Porfirio Díaz]] was crushed by the Mexican and United States armies. A peace treaty was signed in 1897, but this was later broken and another war was started, continuing into the 20th Century. By 1903, President Díaz had decided to resolve the Yaqui Wars once and for all by deporting all the Yaqui. Organized manhunts were carried out by the government to capture all Yaqui. 15, 000 Yaqui were enslaved, and 60, 000 died during deportation. The genocide came to an end when President Díaz was overthrown in 1911, although minor skirmishes continued until 1929.

==== [[Selk'nam Genocide]] ====

Due to continuous attacks by Selk'nam warriors on miners and farmers, the settlers decided to put an end to the attacks by attempting to completely eradicate the Selk'nam population. Most of the massacres took place under the orders of explorer [[Julius Popper]]. Many of the victims were raped and mutilated and others were captured to be sold to concentration camps and [[Human Zoo|human zoos]]. The extermination policy remained in place until the last full-blooded Selk'nam, Angela Loji, died in 1974.

==== [[War of the Triple Alliance]] ====

The War of the Triple Alliance (1865-1870) was launched by the Empire of Brazil, in alliance with the Argentine government of [[Bartolomé Mitre]] and the Uruguayan government of [[Venancio Flores]], against Paraguay. The governments of Brazil, Argentina, and Uruguay signed a secret treaty in which the "high contracting parties" solemnly bind themselves to overthrow the government of Paraguay.

In the 5 years of war, the Paraguayan population was reduced, including, civilians, women, children, and the elderly. Julio José Chiavenato in his book American Genocide affirms that it was "a war of total extermination that only ended when there were no more Paraguayans to kill" and concludes that 99.5% of the adult male population of Paraguay died during the war. Of a population of approximately 420,000 before the war, only 14,000 men and 180,000 women remained.
