Top Ten Atrocities of the 20th Century

I found this on line tonight.

10. Chinese Civil war 1945-49 (puts ours to shame) - Total dead: 2, 500,000
9. 2nd Indochina war 1960-75 (to inc. what we call Vietnam War) - Total Dead: 2,800,000
8. Korean war 1950-53 - Total Dead: 2,800,000
7. Congo Free State (I didn't even know about this) 1900-08 - Total dead: 3,000,000
6. China Warlord & Nationalist Era - 1917-37 - Total Dead: 4,000,000
5. Russian Civil War - 1918-21 - Total Dead: 8,800,000 (wow, a huge jump. Very ambitious)
4. WWI (inc. Armenian massacre) - 1914-18 - Total Dead: 15,000,000 (supposed to be the war to end all wars. They were wrong)
3. Stalin's regime - 1924-53 - Total dead: 20,000,000
2. China, Mao Zedong's regime - 1949-76 Total Dead: 40,000,000
1. WW2 - 1937/1939-45 (inc. Sino Japanese War & Holocaust) - Total dead: 55,000,000

Recent killings include Rwanda (#21 - 917,000), & Iran-Iraq War (# 18 - 1,100,000)

Apparently there was an influenza pandemic in 1918 on the heels of WW1 where a further 20-40 million died.
