  List of massacres - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Massacre has a number of meanings, but most commonly refers to individual events of deliberate and direct mass murder, especially of noncombatant civilians without any reasonable means of defense, that would qualify as war crimes or atrocities.
Massacres in this sense do not typically apply to combatants, except figuratively, although the deliberate mass killings of prisoners of war are often considered massacres.
Additionally, the word massacre is often used for political or propaganda purposes, and the choice of whether to label an event a massacre may become a sensitive one; see, for example, the Kent State shootings.
