I'd define massacre something like :

Direct mass killing, especially of noncombatant civillians or other innocents without any reasonable means of defense. Usually in a cruel fashion ( I Wiki'd it.... forgive me)

The whole "crushing defeat" translation/interpretation is new to me. It translates into: Mass murder.

Again, it's not so much the massacre part I brought up for dicussion, rather the "justifying it" part.
