almost succeeded (murdering about ¾ of the entire Armenian population. This is just one example of how imperialism has done awful things to Armenia. Imperialism has negatively impacted Armenia by killing many Armenians, taking control of Armenia from the Armenians, and has caused much discrimination against Armenians.

The Armenians were put through awful conditions and went through brutal treatment, most never making it out alive. The Turks had multiple ways of killing and torturing these people to die a slow and painful death. They initially summoned all the fit Armenian men to the government building and assured them that they were just being relocated and that no harm will be done to them. However, when the authorities gathered them, they threw the men in jail for several days and then marched out of town once

During this time the Armenians were treated unfair and unequal. The Armenian Christians had to pay higher taxes and had few legal rights(“Armenian Genocide”). Just like the Armenian Genocide, the Jewish holocaust began in the early 1900’s. Unlike Armenia, Germany was not taken over. Hitler was given power by the people of Germany.

Armenian Genocide In 1978 Jimmy Carter gave a speech at a White House ceremony and said, “It is generally not known in the world that, in the years preceding 1916, there was a concerted effort made to eliminate all the Armenian people… And there weren’t any Numberg trials.” For being one of the largest genocides in history, many people have little knowledge and/or awareness of the Armenian Genocide and of those that do, only a handful will admit to the killings as genocide.

Known as the Joan of Arc of Armenians, Aurora was a valiant Armenian American who has represented victims of the Armenian Genocide. At only fifteen- years old, Aurora witnessed the murder of her brother and father and took part in the immense deportation of many Armenians in which Armenians were forced to walk miles and miles over scorching, hot deserts without food or water. One day in the Syrian Desert, the Turks garnered a group of girls and planned to crucify sixteen of them. Aurora was the

These countries recognized because they know the truth, they believe in Armenia. For most Americans, this seems like it happened one million years ago on another planet. But for Armenians, it was yesterday, where we live now. It is more important for them to placate the Turkish government than to

Robert Geswell Mr. Milton Honors World History March 23, 2023 Why the claim that the Armenian Genocide was a result of the Armenian’s support for Russia during World War 1 is false.

The Christian Kingdom of Armenia and the Muslim Ottoman Empire had been neighbors for centuries. Tensions arose once Armenia merged into their bordering Empire in the fifteenth century. Turkish and Armenian nationalities became ruled under one territory, and a clear foreshadowing of a severe confrontation arose. History has proven that the intertwinement of different religions does not produce peace and harmony, but rather the opposite. Taner Akçam is one of the first Turkish scholars to openly acknowledge

“Who does now remember the Armenians (Adolf Hitler, 1939)?” Who does? When someone hears the word "Genocide", the words killing and death may come to mind.

In 1915, leaders of the Turkish government set in motion a plan to expel and massacre the Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire. Though reports vary, most sources agree that there were about 2 million Armenians in the Ottoman Empire at the time of the massacre. By the early 1920s, when the massacres and deportations finally ended, some 1.5 million of Turkey’s Armenians were dead, with many more forcibly removed from the country. Today, most historians call this event a genocide–a premeditated and

that America has the resources to help the Armenian people and should take up this challenge. Eventually the decision was made for America to not take on a mandate for Armenia. This decision could have ended the cruel genocide of the Armenians then and there, but it sadly did not. If America had decided to take on a mandate for Armenia, the U.S could have raised a stable and fair democratic government that protected the minorities’ rights.

Both the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust were major historical atrocities that occurred in the 19th century. These genocidal events were recorded in many different forms; however, if one wants to understand how victims of these acts behaves then one must read a memoir.

Therefore

One of the latest versions of this gambit is the Turkish government’s proposition to set up a “historian’s commission” with half of the members appointed by the Turkish government and the other half being made up of those of the Republic of Armenia to “study” the facts of what occurred in 1915 – 1923. The predicament with the proposition is that the Armenian genocide has already been thoroughly documented and investigated by genocide scholars, many who aren’t Armenian, and the historical record

The return to my homeland gave birth to the inspiration of rebuilding that bridge through my life’s work in advocating for cross­-cultural dialogue, tolerance, and international human rights. With this vision at heart I journeyed to Armenia as the first person in my family to return to our country since relocating to the United States.
