The nearest equivalent in European history to the crimes of the the nazis and commies was the spanish inquisition,and that was a small scale operation: Handcrafted murder rather than mass produced murder. Each victim was individually identified and processed, rather dumped by the truckload. They murdered about 12000, and the world was horrified by their crimes.
1 out of 10 for knowledge of history. I promise not to mention the witch hunts, or the French & Italian massacres of Protestants, or the aftermath of the Wars of religion, or the Thirty Year's War or Louis XIVs campaigns in Germany, or the Turkish massacres in Bulgaria & Armenia, or the slave trade (which certainly killed millions) or the Spanish persecution and expulsion of the Jews (whoops, that *was* the Inquisition, you already got that one) if you can tell me why the Tsarist pogroms of the late 19th century & the Black Hand were neither evil nor "mass produced".
