My first guess is Spanish Civil war. But the dead children make me think it was the Genocide of the Armenians after WWI by the Turks

Spanish Civil War BINGO! We always see books and movies about WWII and the resulting genocide but people forget the mini-WWII and mini-genocide that happenen inI Spain just before WWII. Mostly because it wasn't sexy sounding enough. Even today in Spain they're STILL digging up mass graves of people slaughtered because "they were there". If you look closely you can even see the bullet holes.

Orwell was in it and it caused him to turn against Stalinism. A pretty good movie, IIRC English, was made about it in the '90s. But from the commie perspective, of course. |

To be fair, there weren't too many good guys left by the end. It was ugly.
Also, each side, much like politics any where, were coalitions of groups with wide varieties of beliefs, ideals, and goals. The Spanish Civil War by Hugh Thomas is considered an even handed telling of the history. It is long though. When I read it, I kept a scratchpad of notes just so I could keep track of all the groups and leaders involved. For Whom the Bell Tolls is a good fictional account of the war from the International Brigade perspective by Ernest Hemingway. |

Yes the whole country went insane that badly: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/57/SpanishLeftistsShootStatueOfChrist.jpg It's depressing and scary how a society can turn and savagely kill and destroy within. There was a thread about how dogs will start eating their dead owners when left alone and hungry. Someone stated that they had been to a scene of a deceased elderly lady and her two little dogs started to eat on her. Poster stated, " it gave me a new outlook on dogs and how they can become feral." That statement struck me as a necessity for surviving, however humans kill with gleeful savagery and have no excuse to become feral. |

Little known fact: Spanish "El Tigre" 1892 style lever action carbines saw limited "emergency" service in the SCW.
The Poles scrubbed a bunch of 98a and sent them there too. |
