Japan’s Minister of Defense Shinjirō Koizumi posed with a cardboard drone on Monday during a meeting with drone manufacturer AirKamuy. The AirKamuy 150 is a cheap pre-fab cardboard drone meant to die on the battlefield and it comes shipped in a flatpack like an IKEA shelf.

Consider the Nazi atrocities and how everyone (rightfully) marks it as the worst event (at least in my environment) in history.

I wonder, if all historic events that belong to that category of severe events (whole timeline of events. From end to finish), were to be put into a closer vicinity in the timeline so that everything is viewed less historically and more emotionally equal as to what happened.

Who would be the worst offenders?
The Spanish
The Portuguese
The Chinese
The Germans
The Japanese
The Britains
The Americans
(Did the koreans do anything in regards to a genocide/ethnic cleansing?)
Some other (historic) state?

    The Nazis are a bit of a special case. Exterminating the Jews was because they believed the Jews were evil. Yes, there have been arguably "worse" genocides, and the American one may well be - but those were more in order to further another goal, namely occupying land.
