Genocide, accompanied by ethnic cleansing, took place in the interim and subsequently after World War 2."I believe today that my conduct is in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator." That is what Hitler said in one of his speeches, obviously he based his actions on the will of his "God", the God or deity of Christianity, Catholicism, and numerous other religions. His God, according to him, wanted him to kill all the Jews; therefore that was the reason for his attempt to kill all Jews. The Rwandans, before engaging in a civil war amongst their people, started massacring amongst themselves. Hitler's orders to kill all Jews and those that oppose him were based on the fact that he thought that the Germans were the chosen race by this "God"; in a like matter, he meant that the Germans were of higher rank in a way. Similarly, but completely different, the Hutu of Rwanda decided to kill most of the Tutsi because they thought they had all the power over them. The results of both these genocides were devastating and outrageous; by that I mean that millions of people, including men, women, children, sick, and the elderly, were liquidated.
During and after world war 2, some genocides happened. Adolf Hitler was the leader of Nazi Germany at the time of World War 2. He leaded the Nazis, his followers, to capture and kill anyone considered non-German, especially Jews. He kept killing people till the end of World War 2, where he was found to have killed himself, forcing Germany to surrender in the war. The Rwandans, more specifically, the Hutu and Tutsi tribes, were living peacefully for a while. Hell broke loose when the president of Rwanda was assassinated by an unknown party. The Hutu took power of the government and blamed the Tutsi for this assassination. The Hutu then began massacring the Tutsi.
Secondly, Adolf did what he did because he though the Germans were the superior race of the world and the Hutu did it supposedly because of the assassination of the president.
