The detailed list at the international level mainly includes killings of members of a specific group of people, which is one of the elements of the definition given by the United Nations,[1] however this definition is including acts with mental or other physical elements not widely covered by this list.
The list at the national level attempts to include all those cases described in the 1948 UN convention on genocide.
It includes both massacres of native Indian populations, as well as other aspects of cultural genocide as defined by the United Nations.
[2][3][4] This section lists those pages that meet the UN definition of genocide where the United States has been involved.
It does not include massacres subject to dispute on Wikipedia, or acts of war such as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings.
