What country has the worst past.

Question

For me in terms of rape, war crimes, ignorance, slavery it is spain how about you?

Answer 1

Haiti

Answer 2

Everybody saying Germany, read a book. Hitler was Austrian, he was not German and in the same way that plenty Americans don't agree with Bush, plenty of Germans did not agree with Hitler. Read the book Night, it's a good book and not even the whole SS agreed with the treatment of the Jews. There is NO racism there anymore, and Nazism is strictly outlawed. WWII was over 60 years ago, it's time we recognized that the Germans of today are not at fault for what happened. That's not to say we shouldn't talk about it - by all means, I don't mind hearing about it, but just don't blame me or any other German.

Now, I'd probably say someplace in the Middle East. Where women HAVE to totally cover themselves or they get killed.

Answer 3

The CONGO lol

Democratic Republic of Congo & Republic of Congo

Atlantic Slave Trade

26.3% of Slaves came from the Congo during 1502 - 1888

10.5 million human toll

During the 19th century over 60%/70% of Congos population were captured into slavery. Slavery made whole communities and family's vanish slavery drained Congo of its people while making Brazil grow in population. I wouldnt be surprised if there were more black people of Congolese decent in the Americas than Congo itself.

The effects of slavery made Congo easily colonized due to hardly any men to fight and today the effects of the human loss can be seen in their population density:

The Congo is the world's largest producer of cobalt , and a major producer of copper and industrial diamonds. a nation endowed with vast potential wealth, has declined drastically since the mid-1980s:

DMR CONGO

53rd emptiest compared to area of a country in the world (density)

78th poorest country in the world

REP CONGO

37th emptiest compared to area of a country in the world (density)

39th poorest country in the world

Since 1998

10 million death toll from Conflicts

5 million death toll from famine

4 million death toll from preventable disease

Many disease originated in the Congo such as:

AIDS, Ebola and Crimean-Congo

Malaria also is a major killer but its unknown where it originated

Second Congo War 1998 - 2003

The largest war in modern African history, it directly involved eight African nations, as well as about 25 armed groups. the Second Congo War the deadliest conflict worldwide since World War II. Millions more were displaced from their homes or sought asylum in neighboring countries..

over 2 million women raped

High proportion of vaginal fistulae in the female population due to armed forces gang raping in every community they went through

The nature of rape in the conflict has, beyond the physical and psychological trauma to the individual women, contributed to the spread of sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV, in the region

During the war, Pygmies were hunted down like game animals and eaten. Both sides of the war regarded them as "subhuman" and some say their flesh can confer magical powers.

The Congo is one fuked up place even right now it could be on of the richest countries in world but since they started caputiring their own people and selling them I guess they cursed their land.

Mass war

Mass Slavery

Mass Ignorance

Mass Rape

But I dont hate them I have many friends who have Congolese ancestry

Answer 4

Bosnia.  

Answer 5

Germany - Started two world wars, killed millions of innocent people, tortured people, mutilated people, destroyed half of Europe. Today, there are many problems with Israel / Palestine … that issue is a direct result of n**i Germany, so it still effects society.

Going back really far in time, ancient Egypt, ancient China, the Romans, etc could have possibly been far worse, but most recently, it’s certainly Germany (in my opinion).  

Answer 6
