DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PEOPLE AS THE BASIS FOR VIOLENCE FROM ANCIENT ROME TO NOWADAYS

Summary/Abstract: History is full of the bloodiest examples of violence against members of certain groups of people precisely because of differences between them. Namely, such crimes had not only left consequences for the victims of such behavior but they also shaped the history of some states. It is sufficient to mention the persecution of members of the newly founded Christian religion by the Romans, the crimes against the indigenous population during the colonization of America, the crimes against the Armenians by the Turks, the apartheid in the South African Republic, the crimes against the Afro-Americans etc. With this labor, coauthors will show that the diversity of people based on nationality, religion, political commitment, and many other grounds, was the basis of the greatest and most brutal crimes, starting from the period of the existence of the Roman state to the present day.
