The trials represented 23 nations, 22 Nazi leaders were accused of committing crimes against humanity. Many were sentenced to jail for life or were given the death penalty.

The west signed peace treaties which led to huge land losses for the central powers. The Ottoman Turks only retained territory in what is now known as Turkey and the land lost by south west Asia were turned into mandates. The treaty of Versailles left feelings of betrayal and humiliation for the losers of the war. After the war the US was now considered a global power which lead citizens to reject the idea of dominant power because they didn't want to get involved in European affairs. Many Germans were left with hatred due to the unfair policies of the treaty.

Armenians were stripped naked and forced to march through the desert until they die from either starvation or were shot dead if they stop to take a rest.

WWII: German Nazis killed more than 6 million Jews. This was called the Holocaust. German Nazis believed that Jewish people were the reason why Germany lost WWI and were responsible for all the problems and humiliation the nation was suffering. Those who were killed included Jewish children and adults, homosexuals, the disabled and mentally ill, communists or opponents of the Nazi party, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. They were sent to concentration camps where they were either tortured, experimented on, or immediately killed.
