The resulting civil war from 1992-1995 led to the deaths of over 100,000 muslims and one massacre. This massacre was the largest massacre that occurred since the Holocaust.  NATO had a bombing campaign that led to a peace treaty called the Dayton Accords. This is similar to the Holocaust because there were massacres based on religion, just like the Jews in the Holocaust.

The goal of the Khmer Rouge was to turn the southeast Asian country into a "classless agrarian utopia". They began the killings with former government officials and racial minorities within the country. They also persecuted anyone that questioned their way of thinking and even people of Khmer Rouge were not safe. They persecuted their own people because they thought they were traitors.
Vietnam finally ended the regime with an invasion of the country, the UN also assisted the toppling of the Khmer Rouge.
The Cambodia genocide is similar to the Holocaust because ethnic and racial minorities were killed first and any of the oppressed were forced into hard labor.

The Rohingya Muslims suffer from cultural and economic oppression and are forcibly isolated to poorer states of the country. Starting in 2012 Anti-Muslim hate speech and groups took over Burma destroying the Rohingya communites.
The response- The UN in 2017 created an investigation on the crimes against humanity, but Burma's government refused to cooperate and denies all allegations.
Similarities- Both events included the segregation and dehumanization of a certain group which led to the deaths of thousands.

Syrians government has committed most of the mass atrocities, mostly to the Sunni Muslim population. Isis came in 2013 and took advantage of the chaos seizing territory. Over 10 million people have been displaced about half in the country and half are refugees. Response-The Syrian authorities and the international community have failed to protect the civilians in Syria. Their efforts have actually contributed to the escalation of violence. The Russian and Iran support for Assad victory, has enabled the regime to rein down on the civilians. The UN security can not decide how to handle the Syria situation, and the effort has failed to stop the fighting. Similarities-This conflict relates to The Holocaust because The Syrian government is targeting their civilians with an intent to kill and dehumanize.
