I don't see what you did, because it doesn't have a qualifier there. Articles are purely syntactical in purpose, "the" doesn't add anything to the definition that didn't exist without it.
Not always. Articles "a" and "the" can change context dignificantly.

Also:

The Chicago Manual of Style:

In current usage, the referent of a lowercased "holocaust" is rarely the Nazi murders, while the core referent of a capitalized "Holocaust" is almost invariably the Judeocide of the Nazi camps.

Can you tell me why I have just won this argument?

Let's take it slow. Defeat can be hard to admit. Post the name of the guild in question, with proper capital letters, and let's go from there.

So, following Pickled's logic, if I start a sentence with the word holocaust it's automatically about the jewish Holocaust because it's capitalized?
