The largest genocide of the earth.

While, when there was the terrible and ruthless conquest of America had no legal definition of genocide, committed horrendous acts that were frowned upon by society from more primitive times. There was no justification for such barbarity moralpara make, if there was legal justification but unfair: laws made by the great powers to somehow justify the looting, theft, trafficking in slaves and all other crimes embarrassed and ashamed for humanity peaceful of all times.

Defining Genocide, 
according to the Convention on the 
Prevention and Punishment of the Crime 
of Genocide. Adopted and opened for 
signature, ratification and accession 
by General Assembly 
resolution 260 A (III) of 9 
December 1948.

Entry into force: 
January 12, 1951, in accordance with Article XIII. 
Article I 
The Contracting Parties confirm that genocide, whether committed in time of peace or in time of war is a crime under international law which they undertake to prevent and punish. 
Article II 
In the present Convention, genocide means any of the following acts committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group as such: 
a ) Killing members of the group; 
b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; 
c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; 
d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; 
e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. 

As we can see if the Convention had been found valid when there was the conquest of America, all acts committed by the conquerors would qualify as genocide . But at the time of the conquest had moral standards, and even religious war that were bloodily broken as never before been in human history until today. Thousands of people from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego were killed on a great plan of mass destruction, to cite one example: the Ona were killed 30 years before the adoption of the convention. The whites knew what they were doing, knew that the deaths were conducted contrary to the religion professed that said, many times wildest show a religious murderers astounding. Today civilized nations condemn the genocide in all latitudes and in all religions, but when talking about the American genocide in many countries, mainly in those who did business in distribution of land, theft of wealth, the slave trade (Portugal, Spain) speaks of the Discovery of America as to soften the term to the greatest violation of fundamental human rights than any nation has ever done on Earth.
