Journal 41 – The Cruel Twentieth Century

The twentieth century was the cruelest period in the human history. During both world wars, World War I and World War II, were killed several dozens millions people. It was estimated that the same number of people could have died because of governmental repressions against its own citizens.
Two of them most known examples of these kinds of repression are Stalin’s Soviet Union and Pol-Pota’s Cambodia.
Unfortunately, prognosis for XXI century isn’t optimistic. Some present conflicts have a source in the previous century, when the decolonization process began.
