In what way, I am unaware of any other country that has managed to match that particular feat.

You really need to learn a bit of history, then. The Romans did that (including in this country to the Ordovices), as did the Greeks, the Jews during the Exodus, the Mongols (several times), the Chinese, the Spanish (especially in the Carribean), the Russians, the Yanks, the Belgians as well as ourselves (and indeed the worst thing we ever did was in Australia and Tasmania).

.

we could get bogged down in semantics and definitions, the ordovice were a collective, not necessarily a singular entity, similarly with and during exodus, which has to be a joke, the jews were a corporate gathering of mixed tribal nomads, and a whole lot og alleged smiting went on withno verificatio , just bravado.


the mongols were also only alleged to have caused genocide and that is open to debste.


I admit I know little of belgian of spanish histories so will bow to your knowledge on them, but, exodus, seriously?


and don't condescend to me about history, not very becoming, clarify your point , makes it easier all tound

More nonsense.

For a start, the Ordovices were a tribe that the Romans wiped out; given that you said "In both places entire indigenous tribes were obliterated" one would have thought the Romans doing exactly the same thing you accuse the British of doing (and doing uniquely in world history) would be relevant. Secondly, the Jews during the Exodus wiped out the most of the people of Amalek. The few that survived, they killed later.

As for "the Mongols were only alleged to have caused genocide", one wonders what those who witnessed the sack of Baghdad in 1258 (which resulted in between 250,000 and two million dead) would have made of that. With regards to Spain - in the Carribean the people the encountered by Columbus (the Taino) went extinct in sixty years. As for the Belgians, what happened to the Congolese should be well-known, its just a tragedy that a similar number of people have died in the civil war that plagues the country at present.

Seriously, if you are going to claim that only the British have ever committed genocide, you are talking out of your arse.
 

Yeah, we all know how well a black teenage v a white guy goes done in the US don't we (George Zimmerman).
In any other circumstances Zimmerman would have been classed as Hispanic, but because it was an excuse to bash the gun lobby they called him white.
On a related note can you explain how OJ got off?

The first ethnic group to land on NZ was the Moriori, the Maori didn't arrive until later on and then proceeded to kill and eat them all. Not just the British mate.
