The '''Akuan Atrocities''' was a series mass murders and forced labor programs which resulted in a large scale famine across the [[Akuanism|Akuan]]-majority colonies held by [[Norgsveldet]]. Numbers are heavily debated between scholars and historians and if the Akuan Atrocities should be considered to be a genocide. It is estimate that 1 in 4 [[Akuanism|Akuanists]] across the Norgsveldet empire either died directly due to the actions by the [[Norgsveltian Armed Forces]] or indirectly through the famine, exhaustion in the forced labor camps or the coerced suicides through the isolation punishment policies. The harsh response by the [[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian]] government was due to the Norgsveltian-Akuan belief in absolute pacifism and refusal to take part in the [[Great War]] or assist by providing resources for the war effort. Akuanists across the Norgsveltian Empire committed to civil resistance due to the entry of [[Norgsveldet]] into the [[Great War]], methods such as boycotting Norgsveltian business that supported the war, draft dodging<ref>It should be noted that [[Norgsveltian Armed Forces]] drafting [[Akuanism|Akuanists]] would be in a non-direct combat roles, primary in the medical and support staff role. </ref>, protest marches, picketing recruitment offices and general strikes among other methods.

The Atrocities was primary driven in the beginning through massacres committed by [[Norgsveltian Armed Forces]] to disperse the marches and picketing. Later developing into forced labor camps, coerced suicides via isolation punishments and seizing agricultural produce from Akuan granaries in an effort to force Akuanists natives to grow the full yield of crops rather than self sufficient yield for the community. Akuanists during the war, tried to grow only enough food for the community, which included the [[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian]] settlers ofdespite theNorgsveltian Colonial Office Propaganda stating colonyotherwise.

Nyveldet State University more conservative estimates 24 to 35 million and only cites the massacres as part of the atrocities. Stating that labor camps, famine and coerced suicides was standard practice for the Colonial Office and history of the regions. Therefore shouldn't be considered to be exceptional and included into the death total of the Akuan Atrocities.

The driving force of the settler mindset, was speciesm towards Kemonomimi and believing [[Akuanism]] promoted a miasma of weakness, adultery and inferiority. There was many components of the anti-[[Anti-Akuanism]] and conspiracies going along with them. One of the largest conspiracies being Akuanists was promoting diseases as 'revenge' towards Norgsveltians, blaming the various illnesses that affected almost exclusively was in Norgsveltian settlements and parts of town. Later investigations by the Secretary Office of the Royal Family proved the conspiracy false, the Akuan cultural and religious practices such as boiling water, focus on cleaning oneself after work and various other rituals that promoted cleanliness discourage diseases from spreading in their communities. Conspiracies against Akuanists was rampant across all the colonies save [[Vakrestrender]].

The Norgsveltian Colonial Office had numerous policies towards Akuanists, with the aim of assimilation and conversation towards AkuanistAkuan natives. When it came to AkuanistAkuan deportees from the mainland [[Norgsveldet]] and [[Concord]] at large, the general policy was second class citizenship. It was believed Concordian Akuanists, while still inferior was a stage above Native Akuanists morally and spiritually due to it be closer to [[Ulvriktru]]. Additionally believing the creating a strife through the classism would encourage assimilation of the natives, and cause a wedge between the AkuanistAkuan groups. However instead [[Akuanism|Akuanists]] still kept together, deportee Akuanists helped out native Akuanists using their second class citizen status and the two different versions of [[Akuanism]] melded together. Much to the frustration of the Colonial Office, which later changed its policy to be more aggressive. Removing and retracting numerous protections, such as property rights Deportees Akuanists previously had, right to be paid, right to see council in legal manners and starting the policy of ignoring violations or criminal activities towards Akuanists.
