In fairness most of those were killed by disease, the white folk didn't exactly do much besides cough. If we are to start comparing bloodshed good old Tamerlane one day decided built some minarets out of skulls so he slaughtered 70,000 Persians to get them (you didn't want to be one of Tamerlane's troops and not comeback with a severed head that day!)
That's the kind of bloodshed that even the staunchest Nazi, Communist or Dark Lord of the Sith would consider excessive.
