Various changes, as per talk from October. I would still like more authoritative External Links (especially ones that aren't just about genocide - this is the Mass Murder article)
Mass murder is the killing of large numbers of innocent people. Sometimes the word "[[genocide]]" is used, in the case of killing all those of a particular ethnic group by their own government(see also [[democide]], or [[ethnocide]] if the grouping is based on religion). According to Black's Law Dictionary, the term was popularized by the 1948 "Genocide Convention" of the United Nations, to deal with the special problems posed by the Holocaust, and international wishes to prevent a recurrence of the same.
'''Mass murder''' is the killing of large numbers of people.
The twentieth century has seen some of the greatest examples of mass murder, tragically.
