According to your definition - the deeds of the Khmer Rouge of Cambodia, when they slaughtered 20-25% of the nation within 4 years were not genocide.
As tho the French Revolution - I have no doubts, that what the revolutionaries did to the noble men and those, who did not supported the revolution was a genocide (see for example the way how the Revolutionary government treated royalist, Catholic peasants in Vendee in 1793, which has been widely recognized, as the first modern example of genocide).

Same applies to Soviet Russia.
Are you aware of backround of the event?
Was that a genocide by your opinion?

As I told before under your widen definition everything is the genocide (or terrorism) now. But the strict definition do not recognise those acts above as the genocides.
The widen definitions are misleading at least but give to thier users the great points for the propaganda. That is why they are used today.
Funny but recently I red that the IED bombing which Iraqi insurgents do in Iraq against occupation forces and loyalists was called as the “terrorism”:). Another case of the widen definition in case of the propaganda.
The strict definition calls the terrorism the attacks on the innocent civilians only. But the propaganda-widen definition calls the “terrorism” the attacks on the armed forces of the occupaying army. Funny isn’t it? Some duped people on West engulfs it:). So as your “genocide”:).
Lizol let us be strict and not succumb to ANY propaganda. No matter from whom it is comming.
