Nope, just the biggest one (Holocaust), the second biggest being Holodomor, an Stalin's attack to Ukranian Nationalism. Genocides in Nigeria and similar ones are ethnic ones for political power, without justification over biological differences.

If you're mass murdering without justification in biological/cultural/racial differences, isn't that by definition not a genocide?

In that case, the grandparent-comment is not actually asking anything and just pointing out that a word for defining such events exists.
