Do you count the unintentional genocide of the Aztecs by the Spanish when they brought their diseases over on the Columbian Exchange?

That's what I was thinking at first... but that's not true genocide.

Maybe the warring with the Indians in North America by the US..... Wiped probably a good 50% of out.

This site suggests the US? (anti Columbus site)

In the end more than 150 million human beings would perish, the largest genocide in human history. Teaching this in the classroom, however, would mean acknowledging the United States' own brutal treatment of indigenous people, something we seem reluctant to do. Rarely able to acknowledge our own atrocities, we continue to promulgate lies to hide the fact we live in a stolen land.
