Top Ten Outrages of the Past Half Millenium Support Apolyton, pre-order Civilization IV

What do you think are the top ten outrages/ depravities/ atrocities of the past 500 years? My list would be:

Holocaust
Stalin's Reign of Terror
Mao's "Cultural Revolution"
American Slavery (if you include the entire issue of slavery in the entire western hemisphere yopu could move this up to #2)
Japan's Imperial Expansion
Spanish Imperial Expansion
British Imperial Expansion
American War's against the Native Americans
French Imperial Expansion
Russian Imperial Expansion

The constant misspelling of the word "millennium" has to rank up there.

Pretty much everything during WWII would be at the top of my list - Holocaust, firebombing Dresden, Rape of Nanking, bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That was a low in human history to put it incredibly simply.

If this was top 100 or top 5 I might I might be able to do it.

When Coca-cola switched from regular coke to "new coke" and then switched it back to "original coke" but it wasn't really the same coke from before the change...it was differnet, but they still called it the same and coca-cola made a lot of money and the CEO for coke was on the cover of money magazine like he planned that stupid charade the whole time...then with all the money the made from pushing caramel flavored carbornated water, they had to "invent" every varient of coke that you could possible imagine - cherry, vanilla, diet, diet + no caffeine, regular + no caffeine, diet vanilla, diet vanilla + no caffeine
