Yeah, probably, unless you count Burmese militant Bhuddism

So what? Mere language similarities doesn't give you guys the right to claim that Buddha is teeeh glorious Aryan brother. Honestly, it's a low act, reminiscent of the Afrocenrists twisting history to suit their agenda and paint the classical civilizations to be black except in this version, they are painted as white.
Buddha is Asian, not European. The Filipino word for father, Tatay is evolved from the Aztec word, Tatle, it doesn't mean we are all a bunch of gung-ho Aztec Jaguar Warriors, we are still Asian. Having the same word have similar meaning in another language does not necesarilly mean that they are teeeeh brothers. For a Buddhist, that claims to be unbiased, the Buddhist in these forums seem to be afflicted with the white version of Afrocentric historical revisionism.
I don't know. National Socialism is the most peaceful religion.

Except for Tibetan Lamaism, a militant outgrowth of Buddhism, in practise, Buddhism has been peaceful. Buddhists protest, e.g., oppression, not by rioting, but by self-immolation, as a moral lesson to others. Ahimsa, harmlessness to other living beings, though originally a Hindu concept (After all, Siddhartha Gautama Shakyamuni, the Buddha, was originally a Hindu before his revelation.), is an important element of Buddhist faith.

State Shinto was the national religion of Japan during WWII. Zen Buddhism has a long history in Japan, especially among the old Samurai class, but that's less to do with violence and more with Zen's teachings of not being attached to life, since the Samurai were supposed to lay down their lives at a moments notice for their daimyo.
