A very detailed quiz but allow me to point out some other genocides that equally deserve recognition. For instance, you could also include the ongoing Palestinian and Uyghur genocides, Tamil genocide, Guatemalan genocide against the Maya, Japanese atrocities in Nanjing and Manchuria in WWII, and the genocide against Ottoman Muslims during the Balkan Wars. Also, please correct Cirassian to Circassian. Thank you.
