Line 18:

*The [[Armenian Genocide]] perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire during [[World War I]] resulted in nearly 1.5 million Ottoman Armenians being displaced, sent to concentration camps, or killed outright.

*The 24-year occupation of East Timor by Indonesia, instigated by President [[Suharto]], was basically a two-decade long ethnic cleansing campaign against the people of East Timor, and is considered to be a genocide by Oxford and Yale Universities. Indonesian paramilitary groups, such as [[Aitarak]], killed or expelled large numbers of civilians. After the East Timorese people voted for independence in a 1999 referendum, the Indonesian paramilitaries retaliated, murdering some supporters of independence and leveling most towns. More than 200,000 people either fled or were forcibly taken to Indonesia before East Timor achieved full independence.

*Many members of the [[Alt-Right]] support ethnic cleansing of non-whites, along with the creation of an all-white ethnostate.

*Many members of the [[Alt-Right]] support ethnic cleansing of non-whites, along with the creation of an all-white ethnostate. This plan is commonly referred to as the "[[Northwest Territorial Imperative]]".

*Some have accused the [[Communist Party of China]] of committing ethnic cleansing in regards to their policies against Uyghur Muslims in the Xinjiang autonomous region. As of 2018, it is believed that close to one million Uyghurs are interred at secret re-education camps scattered throughout the region.

*[[The Trail of Tears]] is considered an act of ethnic cleansing in regards to Native Americans in the United States. President [[Andrew Jackson]] signed the Indian Removal Act into law on May 28, 1830. The law authorized the president to negotiate with southern Native American tribes for their removal to federal territory west of the Mississippi River in exchange for white settlement of their ancestral lands. The act has been referred to as a unitary act of systematic genocide, because it discriminated against an ethnic group in so far as to make certain the death of vast numbers of its population.
