Defining terms this way puts the Nazi slaughter in perspective. The
following are Rummel's 12 most murderous regimes (from his article in
the Encyclopedia of Genocide, 1999): (1) USSR, 62 million deaths,
1917-'87; (2) People's Republic of China, 35 million, 1949-'87; (3)
Germany, 21 million, 1933-'45; (4) nationalist China, 10 million,
1928-'49; (5) Japan, 6 million, 1936-'45; (6) prerevolutionary Chinese
communists ("Mao Soviets"), 3.5 million, 1923-'49; (7) Cambodia, 2
million, 1975-'79; (8) Turkey (Armenian genocide), 1.9 million,
1909-'18; (9) Vietnam, 1.7 million, 1945-'87; (10) Poland, 1.6
million, 1945-'48; (11) Pakistan, 1.5 million, 1958-'87; (12)
Yugoslavia, 1.1 million, 1944-'87. Three additional "suspected
megamurderers," as Rummel puts it, are North Korea, 1.7 million
deaths, 1948-'87; Mexico, 1.4 million, 1900-'20; and czarist Russia,
1.1 million, 1900-'17.

million dead, 1929-'53; (2) Mao Tse-tung, 38 million, 1923-'76; (3)
Adolf Hitler, 21 million, 1933-'45; (4) Chiang Kai-shek, 10 million,
