I was just thinking what the worst nation of the past 100 years would be. I'm not really sure so I thought I'd put up a poll. I guess I'm thinking in terms of war crimes (such as the general inability to conform to capitalism) but anything terrible would be considered

As far as committing genocide against their own people in the name of Communism, Russia & China both have over 100,000,000 kills each over the past 100 years.
 
Smashed in WW1
Civil War
Gulags
Collectivisation
Massive famines
Smashed in WW2
More Gulags
Economy turned upside down
Oligarchs / Corruption

Miss anything?

Smashed in WW2? USSR won the war for the Allies (well, that and boneheaded military decisions by Germany/Hitler spreading themselves to thin)

Germany short money favourite.
 
Portugal.
Ronaldo's a campaigner and I don't like their wine, it tastes greasy somehow

They produce some great beers though.

France has been full of French people for at least 100 years, so I vote France
 
I may be generalising but..... Croatians cant even change tyres /thread

Cambodia (Kampuchea) under Pol Pot surpasses them.
Supported by guess who... China.

Although I dont think the numbers were 100 mil... Cambodias population is like 16 mil.. still, was like 20% of the population which is ****ed.

Pol Pot's communist Khmer Rouge killed between 1.5 and 3 million people of a population of roughly 8 million (about 25%)

How exactly does that surpass 100,000,000+ people killed under China & Russia communist regimes?

Wow 8 mil at that time? reduced to 6 mil. That means they have grown from about 6 mil to 16 mil since the end of the regime which was early to mid 80s I believe??? Massive influx of Chinese capitalising on the shortage of skilled workers I'm guessing?

As of 2013 Chinese make up only 0.1% of the Cambodian population. Even up until recently Cambodia had a terrible record in their treatment of minorities. Chinese are smart enough not to move there. Their rapid population growth is not out of the ordinary and is on par with other third world & developing nations over the same time line. (Our population for instance from the early 80's went from 14.9 mil to 25+ mill)

Yugoslavia (The Serbian Socialist empire) would be up there.
Germany were the ultimate baddies, but have done a lot to try make up for it these last couple of decades.
USA are ****ed, got their fingers in all the pies, but Id take them over the russians ruling everything.
Turkey probs should be considered, the armenians, kurds and greeks would agree.

Its a real toughy, some proper heavyweight contenders.

Interesting that the Chinese government backed the regime despite its own ex-pats being one of the targeted minority groups.

I guess the Chinese government has never shown much care for it's citizens on home soil so it shouldn't come as a surprise that it wouldn't give a shit about those abroad.

I don't think China is very picky as to which foreign regimes they get in bed with these days. It's goal is to expand it's sphere of influence via multi billion dollar loans & infrastructure projects throughout Asia & Africa partly as a way of currying favour so that their future territorial claims in the South China sea aren't opposed by these countries because they/we owe them/need them.
