The Armenian genocide is one more problem the U.S has to deal with leading into world war 1 , some people believe this does not have a very significant tie to world war 1 but I believe this is significant reasons. This bibliography will follow through with what is happening today with the Armenian genocide and what happened during the Armenian Genocide and the denial that the Turkish government, which they still say they had nothing to do with the genocide, Well the Armenians say this is all by the Turkish. Read the report and you will see why. The Armenian genocide. The Armenian genocide was a genocide that happened in between 1915 and 1917.

This matters because 1.5 million were taken due to the fall of Turkey and the fear of the Armenians we're going to take over. This genocide was taken place at the hands of the Ottoman empire when world war 1 was just starting. This happened where turkey is but in that time it was The Ottoman Empire , and at this time The Ottoman Empire was failing and decreasing in power (History.com). The Ottoman Empire was shared by Armenians and the Muslims.“The Ottoman rulers, like most of their subjects, were Muslim. They permitted religious minorities like the Armenians to maintain some autonomy, but they also subjected Armenians, who they viewed as “infidels,” to unequal and unjust treatment.” (History.com). This is why the Armenians were subjected to genocide, because they were outnumbered, hated and shunned upon by the Muslims. “In January 1915 Enver Paşa attempted to push back the Russians at the battle of Sarıkamış, only to suffer the worst Ottoman …show more content…
The only difference here is that the Armenians weren’t killed in camps but in homes and villages. The Armenians were also subject to leaving their homes, schools and livelihoods to be forced to a new country , well others who were selected were executed. The genocide was still denied by the former Turkish ambassador ” Nabi Sensoy”. The interview where he talks about the Turkish and Armenian genocide and how they never suffered and that they never had anything to do with killings. In an interview with sixty minutes Navi Sensoy stared “We have had others that had died on our side”” this of course is referring to how they do not have any involvement in a systematic genocide. The Armenian genocide was one of the most brutal genocides in history. The definition of genocide is ” The deliberate killing of a large group of people, especially those of a particular ethnic group or nation.” ( U.N Convention). This sounds a lot like a genocide, so why are Turkey and the Turkish government denying that this was a genocide after a little over a 100 years. Let’s take a look at why turkey would deny this. “The events at issue occurred nearly a century ago in what was then the Ottoman Empire, but Turkey is still sensitive to characterizations of the killings.” (Armenian Genocide.org). I feel in my personal opinion that Turkey is ashamed of their actions and do not want to take
In short, the majority of Turkey’s allies did nothing about the ordeal in the end. Basically brushing the entire event off. Eventually, the already small and fragile Armenian republic was given no support from the allies as a whole, and collapsed upon itself. As for the Turkish, in the successful obliteration of the vast majority of the Armenian people, they destroyed many priceless masterpieces, libraries and churches that had belonged to the Armenians. In Turkey, it’s illegal to even mention the topic of the Armenian Genocide.
Genocide was the Rwandan genocide which happened recently in 1994. Although not as many people were killed, it was still as bad because innocent people were killed to satisfy an individual with his followers. Humanity is becoming an issue because no one is thinking rationally anymore. It is now just, “He’s an enemy, Kill him,” and that is not right because of the massive lives they are taken. The worst part is that it takes a long time for countries to get involved and help out the people. Yes it may cause many lives but it 's for a cause of saving innocent people from dying just for people’s satisfaction.
Genocide, the systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group. From 1992-1995 that was happening in Bosnia-Herzegovina. In the Republic of Bosnia-Herzegovina, conflict between the three main ethnic groups, the Serbs, Croats, and Muslims, resulted in genocide committed by the Serbs against the Muslims in Bosnia.

World War I was a huge war. Several countries were involved in World War I. Many lives were lost during this horrible time. Many people believe that imperialism, nationalism, and militarism caused it all to happen.
With the knowledge of a previous attack against Christian groups, it is surprising the lack of aid that comes from the world. In an article published in 1920 that states “Armenia is a victim both of the war and the peace, persecuted by her enemies and now almost deserted by her friends.” 9 While the Armenians had the sympathy of the world, “the fear of opening the vexing Eastern question... has held back the administration of justice.” 10 Armenia looked to Germany, Russia, Britain, and America but did not find relief. To the Armenians, “no government or nation has ever attempted to stop,” 11 the attacks against them. During these attacks, it is estimated that the Armenian genocide had “one million or 1.5 million victims,” 12 This number is strictly the deaths of Armenians and does not include groups like the Assyrians and Greeks that were also killed during the
Genocide is the act of killing a lot of people depending on their race, ethnicity, and religion. There are 8 stages of genocide which include extermination and denial. The victims of the Bosnian genocide consists of elders, women, men, children, and even babies. The Bosnian genocide is a war between Bosnian Serbians and Bosnian Muslim to which republic can control Bosnia. Many Serbains deny the fact that his genocide even happened even though there is scientific proof that this genocide happened. The purpose of learning genocide is so we are informed and we won't let it happen again.
Millions on millions were killed and even more were harmed, starved, and worked to near death. Eventually an international effort was created, a war against Germany, The Nazis, and the Axis powers. They were stopped, but only after millions had already been killed. On the other hand, an estimated two million Armenians were killed in the Ottoman empire. At least a million others were deported. After the Central Powers were defeated, the genocide ended because the perpetrators no longer had power. In most cases, these situations are ended by other countries uniting together to end these

When people hear genocide they normally think of the Holocaust which was the persecution of Jews by the Nazi’s. This took place under Adolf Hitler’s rule but there have been other genocides throughout history. The Armenian Genocide is one of the many that have taken place. It took place in the Ottoman Empire between the years of 1914 to 1918 (“Armenian” Armenian). It started when the “Young Turks” took control of the government (Beecroft). The Holocaust and Armenian genocide are similar in the reasons that started them, but they are different in who was involved and how the two genocides were executed.

. Armenians are patriarchal in nature, and typically have the man of the household serve as the breadwinner. Mothers are usually seen as caring and nurturing, while fathers are typically viewed more as authoritative and disciplinarian (Bakalian, 1993). While men are seen as the breadwinners and are usually the sole decision makers, women are traditionally expected to be wives and mothers, and are responsible for maintaining and transmitting family traditions (Minnassian, 2010). Armenians are generally considered a collectivistic culture, with strong family values at their cornerstone. Due to a longstanding history of oppression, as a collective, Armenians tend to be weary of others and are usually suspicious when seeking services. As an extension
In conclusion, the causes of World War One included many factors both long term and short term. Some factors go deeper and contributed to the tension and rivalry developing in the nineteenth century among the Great Powers stage. Such as things involving politics, cultures, economics and what I believe to be the most important, the alliance system; lots of other factors tie in with the complex web of alliances. There are many factors that lead on and link in with one another; this just explains a few of the well known factors. Most involve contributing to tension and rivalry. The Great War is considered to be one of the most significant events of the twentieth century.
