Originally Answered: What is genocide? Why does this happen? Genocide is: noun
1. The deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. As to why it happens? It can happen for many different reasons, one of the most common reasons is because one two groups are fighting, but neither group ever wants to surrender to the other. Other times an individual who is in charge of a government wishes to make a statement and to wipe out a particular group in order to keep the rest of the population under control. There is also accidental genocide.
