2000 Pope John Paul II asks forgiveness for the church's sins against various groups, including Jews, women, and the poor.
1995 The Queen of England apologizes to New Zealand's native Maoris for a "wrongful and unjust" land grab in the 1860s.
1995 The prime minister of Japan shares his "deep remorse" and a "heartfelt apology" to all the victims of World War II.
