The conquest of the American continent by the Europeans is probably the largest genocidal campaign in history. Native americans are almost extinct.

Cortéz and other american conquerors were never praised in any school books I read. They mostly spoke about what a disaster it was for the Mayans, Aztecs, Native Americans, Inkas, etc.
When did Ceasar do mass murders? In Gaul? Britannia?

Cortez even had his face in spanish pre- euro currency

While Caesar killed one million gauls and sold another million as slaves. Almost 50% of Gaul population in that time.

Wow, that's some terrifying numbers for Caesar.
