The '''1944 Denshire Massacre''' ([[Creeperian Spanish]]: '''Masacre de Denshire de 1944''', Arabic: '''1944 إعادة دن مايو ماسامذبحة دينشاير''', also called the '''Denshire Genocide''', '''Genocidio de Denshire''', '''دينشاير الإبادة الجماعية''') was the systematic killing of over 25,000 [[Deltinians]] in the city of [[Denshire]], the capital city of the [[Departments of Creeperopolis|department]] of [[Jakiz (department)|Jakiz]]. The massacre was committed by the [[Militarist Nationalist Front]] (FRENAMI), a death squad which is also known as the Sombra Negra, in retaliation for the [[Assassination of Adolfo Cabañeras Moreno|assassination]] of [[Adolfo Cabañeras Moreno]], the then [[Minister of Defense of Creeperopolis|Minister of Defense]] and [[Chief Field Marshal (Creeperopolis)|Chief Field Marshal]] of the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]]. The general of the Sombra Negra, [[Adolfo Rivera López]], personally ordered, commanded, and took part in the massacre.
+
The '''Denshire Massacre''' ([[Spanish#Creeperian Standard Spanish|Creeperian Spanish]] – [[Creeperian Script|Creeperian]]: ''Մասածրե դե Դենսհիրե''; Creeperian Spanish – [[Iberic Script|Iberic]]: ''Masacre de Denshire''), referred to by [[Deltinians]] as the '''Day of Sorrow''' ([[Arabic|Deltinian Arabic]]: ''يوم الحزن''; <small>transliterated as:</small> ''Yawm al-Huzn'') was a mass killing and mass rape committed by the [[Militarist Nationalist Front]] (FRENAMI) against [[Deltinian Islam|Deltinian Muslims]] and ethnic [[Deltinians]] in [[Denshire]], the capital city of the Creeperian department of [[Jakiz (department)|Jakiz]]. The massacre occurred on 13 June 1944, symbolically the 618th anniversary of the [[Siege of Almadinat Almuqadasa|fall]] of [[Almadinat Almuqadasa]] to Creeperian crusader forces during the [[Creeperian Crusade]]. During the massacre, paramilitary soldiers of the Militarist Nationalist Front, and some Creeperian soldiers and civilians which joined in the massacre, murdered tens of thousands of unarmed Deltinian civilians who were living in the city. Mass rape, looting, and destruction of mosques also occurred concurrent to the mass killing which was being committed.
  
On June 13, 1944, soldiers of the Sombra Negra mercilessly and indiscriminately killed anyone in the city who was either ethnically [[Deltinians|Deltinian]] or a follower of [[Deltinian Islam]]. Men, women, and children were all killed with no one being spared. Women were raped by the soldiers and mosques were set on fire. Civilians of non-Deltinian descent who attempted to hide or protect Deltinians or tend to the wounded were also killed. Despite the city being held by the [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] with a garrison of 10,000 [[Romerist Army]] soldiers stationed in the city, they did little to nothing to prevent the massacre at best, and assisted in the killings at worst.
+
An estimated 25,000 Deltinians were murdered during the massacre by the Militarist Nationalist Front, Creeperian Army soldiers, and Creeperian civilians. The massacre occurred during the [[Creeperian Civil War]], when several other infamous massacres occurred, however, the Denshire massacre is considered to be one of the most well known and most controversial. The Creeperian government has been denounced for allowing the massacre to occur within its controlled territory and has also been denounced for the role it played during the massacre.
  
== Assassination of Cabañeras Moreno ==
+
Despite its infamy and notoriety, the Creeperian government denies the existence of the massacre, instead, stating that "only" 64 communists and revolutionaries were executed after an attempted uprising in the city. The Creeperian government also denies any participation in the massacre. [[Creeperian Nationalism|Nationalists]] in Creeperopolis often deny the massacre or present revisionist historical accounts of the massacre. The [[Catholic Imperial Restoration Council]] and subsequent Creeperian government have claimed that the massacre was fabricated as propaganda by the [[National Council for Peace and Order]] in an effort to gain the support of Deltinians living in their controlled territory, as in 1937, the National Council itself committed a massacre of Deltinians which killed anywhere from 3,139 to 328,000 Deltinians.

Since the arrival of [[Deltinians]] in [[Sur]] in 734AD and their subsequent [[Deltinian–Creeperian War|conquest]] of the [[Old Kingdom of Creeperopolis]] in 745AD, ethnic and religious tensions between the two groups have been common throughout their shared history. The first major instances of overt ethnic and religious violence between the two groups occurred during the [[Creeperian Crusade]] between 1231 and 1345, where both groups massacred the other; Deltinians massacred [[Creeperans]] and [[Creeperian Catholic Church|Creeperian Catholics]], and Creeperans massacred Deltinians and [[Deltinian Islam|Deltinian Muslims]]. Tensions culminated in the [[Siege of Almadinat Almuqadasa#Miracle and massacre of Almadinat Almuqadasa|massacre]] of [[Almadinat Almuqadasa]] on 13 June 1326 and the [[Siege of Shata' Albahr#Siege|massacre]] of [[Shata' Albahr]] on 25 December 1345.
 +
 
 +
On 14 June 1326, Creeperian King [[Miguel I of Creeperopolis|Miguel I]] proclaimed the ''[[Decree of La'Victoria]]'', which outlawed the practicing of Deltinian Islam within [[Creeperopolis]]' domains. Practicing the religion was made punishable by [[Capital punishment in Creeperopolis|death]], beginning the [[First Great Persecution of Deltinian Islam]] which lasted from 1326 until 1600, when the decree was nullified and rendered void by the [[First Parliament of Creeperopolis|First Parliament]]. During the nearly-three hundred year period of persecution, an estimated "millions to tens of millions" of Deltinian Muslims were killed. The largest instance of ethnic and religious violence between the two groups between 1600 and 1839 was the [[1620 Abdan race riot]], during which, a race riot against Deltinians and Muslims, killing [[Badri al-Morad]], the first Deltinian member of the First Parliament, and 1,418 other Deltinian civilians.
 +
 
 +
On 4 May 1839, Creeperian Emperor [[Adolfo III of Creeperopolis|Adolfo III]] proclaimed the ''[[Decree of San Salvador]]'', again outlawing the practicing of Deltinian Islam in Creeperopolis. Between 800,000 and 1.2 million Deltinians and Deltinian Muslims were killed between 1839 and 1887 in the [[Second Great Persecution of Deltinian Islam]]. The persecution was ended on 31 December 1887 when the [[Second Parliament of Creeperopolis|Second Parliament]] nullified it and rendered it void. Because of the second persecution and the role that several right-wing politicians had in its execution, the overwhelming majority of Deltinians and Deltinian Muslims aligned themselves politically with the left-wing [[People's Social Coalition]], mostly voting for the [[Creeperian Socialist Party]] (PSC). Throughout the Second Parliamentary Era, the party had attempted on various occasions to reconcile Creeperian–Deltinian relations and to have those responsible for the second persecution brought to justice, increasing their popularity with the people.

The most infamous case of a Creeperian civilian sheltering and protecting Deltinan civilians is of [[Francisco Sánchez Vizcarra]]. Sánchez Vizcarra was a wealthy businessman and the then CEO of the [[National Coffee and Sugar Corporation]]. Sánchez Vizcarra had a second mansion in [[Denshire]] which he purchased before the outbreak of the [[Creeperian Civil War]]. When civil war errupted, he was forced to essentially abandon his mansion in Denshire as it fell under the control of the [[National Council for Peace and Order]]. When [[Battle of Denshire (1943)|Denshire was liberated in 1943]] by the Imperial Council, he returned to rebuild the mansion and cater to the civilians of the city with his vast amounts of wealth.

He hid a total of 132 Deltinians in his mansion during the massacre.

Instead, he bribed the soldiers the same amount to take him and the prisoners outside of [[Denshire]] and to the nearby village of [[Juayúa]] to be executed there and be properly buried instead of being burned alive or have thier bodies left in the steets.

Throughout the massacre, thousands of women were raped by soldiers and left to die. Men who resisted were hanged by Sombra Negra soldiers on lampposts in the city. Children younger than the age of seven were forcibly conscripted and forced to kill their fellow Deltinians during the massacre. If the children refused, they were killed. If the children complied, they were abducted by the Sombra Negra following the massacre and forced to be child soldiers.

The Denshire Massacre (Creeperian SpanishCreeperian: Մասածրե դե Դենսհիրե; Creeperian Spanish – Iberic: Masacre de Denshire), referred to by Deltinians as the Day of Sorrow (Deltinian Arabic: يوم الحزن; transliterated as: Yawm al-Huzn) was a mass killing and mass rape committed by the Militarist Nationalist Front (FRENAMI) against Deltinian Muslims and ethnic Deltinians in Denshire, the capital city of the Creeperian department of Jakiz. The massacre occurred on 13 June 1944, symbolically the 618th anniversary of the fall of Almadinat Almuqadasa to Creeperian crusader forces during the Creeperian Crusade. During the massacre, paramilitary soldiers of the Militarist Nationalist Front, and some Creeperian soldiers and civilians which joined in the massacre, murdered tens of thousands of unarmed Deltinian civilians who were living in the city. Mass rape, looting, and destruction of mosques also occurred concurrent to the mass killing which was being committed.

An estimated 25,000 Deltinians were murdered during the massacre by the Militarist Nationalist Front, Creeperian Army soldiers, and Creeperian civilians. The massacre occurred during the Creeperian Civil War, when several other infamous massacres occurred, however, the Denshire massacre is considered to be one of the most well known and most controversial. The Creeperian government has been denounced for allowing the massacre to occur within its controlled territory and has also been denounced for the role it played during the massacre.

Despite its infamy and notoriety, the Creeperian government denies the existence of the massacre, instead, stating that "only" 64 communists and revolutionaries were executed after an attempted uprising in the city. The Creeperian government also denies any participation in the massacre. Nationalists in Creeperopolis often deny the massacre or present revisionist historical accounts of the massacre. The Catholic Imperial Restoration Council and subsequent Creeperian government have claimed that the massacre was fabricated as propaganda by the National Council for Peace and Order in an effort to gain the support of Deltinians living in their controlled territory, as in 1937, the National Council itself committed a massacre of Deltinians which killed anywhere from 3,139 to 328,000 Deltinians.

Background

Creeperian–Deltinian ethnic and religious tensions

Since the arrival of Deltinians in Sur in 734AD and their subsequent conquest of the Old Kingdom of Creeperopolis in 745AD, ethnic and religious tensions between the two groups have been common throughout their shared history. The first major instances of overt ethnic and religious violence between the two groups occurred during the Creeperian Crusade between 1231 and 1345, where both groups massacred the other; Deltinians massacred Creeperans and Creeperian Catholics, and Creeperans massacred Deltinians and Deltinian Muslims. Tensions culminated in the massacre of Almadinat Almuqadasa on 13 June 1326 and the massacre of Shata' Albahr on 25 December 1345.

On 14 June 1326, Creeperian King Miguel I proclaimed the Decree of La'Victoria, which outlawed the practicing of Deltinian Islam within Creeperopolis' domains. Practicing the religion was made punishable by death, beginning the First Great Persecution of Deltinian Islam which lasted from 1326 until 1600, when the decree was nullified and rendered void by the First Parliament. During the nearly-three hundred year period of persecution, an estimated "millions to tens of millions" of Deltinian Muslims were killed. The largest instance of ethnic and religious violence between the two groups between 1600 and 1839 was the 1620 Abdan race riot, during which, a race riot against Deltinians and Muslims, killing Badri al-Morad, the first Deltinian member of the First Parliament, and 1,418 other Deltinian civilians.

On 4 May 1839, Creeperian Emperor Adolfo III proclaimed the Decree of San Salvador, again outlawing the practicing of Deltinian Islam in Creeperopolis. Between 800,000 and 1.2 million Deltinians and Deltinian Muslims were killed between 1839 and 1887 in the Second Great Persecution of Deltinian Islam. The persecution was ended on 31 December 1887 when the Second Parliament nullified it and rendered it void. Because of the second persecution and the role that several right-wing politicians had in its execution, the overwhelming majority of Deltinians and Deltinian Muslims aligned themselves politically with the left-wing People's Social Coalition, mostly voting for the Creeperian Socialist Party (PSC).
