Grausamkeit und Toleranz sind Begriffe, die in heutiger Zeit nicht recht zusammenpassen. Jedenfalls rühmen sich unsere westlichen Regierungen gerne ihrer Menschlichkeit und Toleranz, während mehr oder weniger feindlich gesinnte Autokratien wegen ihrer Grausamkeit und Intoleranz verurteilt werden.

Manche Aspekte der Hunnen erscheinen uns vielleicht auch deswegen so fremd.

The first was the longest and most expensive war in British Indian history, the second was criticized at the time as being caused by gunboat diplomacy, and the third led to the removal of Burma's Konbaung dynasty and the incorporation of Burma into the British Raj.

Among the famines of the Second World War, the Great Famine of Vietnam (1944-1945) remains little known outside of Vietnam, especially compared to its contemporaries in Bengal, Henan, and the Soviet Union. Though natural disasters catalyzed the famine, the scope of the famine was exacerbated by the brutal French extraction of resources in northern Vietnam at the command of the Japanese military. However, the famine's seeds were sown long before the disaster, with the arrival of the French in the Mekong Delta and their subsequent colonization of Dai Viet.
