That's not really the issue, I don't have the power to stop anything.

The question is whether this or another nation would go to war under those circumstances to attempt to put a stop to those deaths ... I have no reason to believe that the answer is "yes."

Defeating Germany came at an enormous cost to many nations. Do you have a historical example where a nation suffered casualties of that size in order to help the oppressed minority of another nation? It is a very altruistic thing to ask for.

Military casualties (deaths) in WWII:

Great Britain + Commonwealth 452,000
France 250,000
USA 295,000
USSR 13,600,000
Belgium 10,000
Holland 10,000
Norway 10,000
Poland 120,000
Greece 20,000
Yugoslavia 300,000
Czechoslovakia 20,000
China (from 1937 on) 3,500,000

Total 18,587,000
