The Armenian Genocide
explanatory Essay
1803 words
The Armenian genocide was the first genocide of Modern World History, but it was not the first time the world saw an ethnic and religious group angry with and persecuting another. The Armenian genocide is special because it was the first time the world saw mass slaughter being planned and executed by government officials. This deliberate slaughter of Armenians has been the focus of many because of its unique persecution of a single ethnic group and the fact that the Turkish government still denies its existence. Although the Armenian genocide took place in the Middle East, it has impacted the entire world. The Armenian genocide happened during World War I. Most known genocides have happened during times of war, because most of the world or the population of the country is so focused on the war, so they do not notice the mass killings going on in their country or in other countries. Ethnic Armenians have resided in the Middle Eastern region of the world since approximately 3500 BC. Armenians lived and still live in many Middle Eastern countries such as Armenia, Turkey, Syria, Iran, Azerbaijan, and the republic of Georgia. Armenians have their own language and alphabet and have a very unique culture, which has set them apart from other countries and ethnic groups. In 300 AD, there was not a single nation who had Christianity as their national religion. “Following the advent of Christianity, Armenia became the very first nation to accept it as the state religion.” Armenian pride in their culture and way of life never wavered, even throughout being conquered by different nations. Armenian lands were taken over by many different nations on several different occasions, but they finally ended up in the Ottoman Empire in the 1500s, when ... ... middle of paper ... ...d April 10, 2014).

- Evidence of the Armenian Genocideexplanatory essayThe Armenian genocide was a systematic eradication of the Armenian population who lived under the Ottoman government. The genocide took place before and after World War I and it was set out in two phases. The first phase was to kill all able bodied men by massacre and forced labor. The second phase was to deport women, children, and the elderly and make them walk through the Syrian Desert in which a lot of people died from lack of food, water and the climate. The total population that had died was between one and one and a half million. Despite the high death rates, Turkey still denies the Armenian genocide took place. The evidence that the genocide took place is that one and a half million of Armenians died, the Armenian genocide is documented in national archives of many nations, and lastly, many countries have recognized the Armenian genocide, Turkey being an obvious exception. No country wants to admit horrendous crimes committed against humanity such as genocide. It will leave a bad impression and create shame for the country as long as history remains.

648 wordsRead More - The Genide: The History Of The Armenian Genocideexplanatory essayDuring the 15th century, Armenia had been taken over by the Ottoman Empire. The leaders of the Ottoman Empire were Muslim and the Armenian population were Christian. Due to this fact, the Turks viewed the Armenians as “infidels” (Adalian). They treated them unequally by creating laws that made life harder for them. On April 24, 1915, the Turkish government planned systematic decimation thus beginning the Armenian genocide (HISTORY). On that day alone, it is estimated that about 700 Armenians were arrested and massacred (Adalian). Until 1923 when the Ottoman Empire was replaced with the Republic of Turkey, it is said that an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were killed by brutal massacres, death walks, and concentration camps while many more were inhumanly deported (HISTORY). An Armenian population that once started at an estimate of about 2 million was now cut down to 388,000 (HISTORY). Although this massive massacre falls under genocide in many peoples’ eyes the Turkish government denies to classify their act as genocide. Even till this day, the Turkish government has made it illegal to discuss the events of that period of history.

1010 wordsRead More - Armenian Genocideexplanatory essayWhy was the Armenian Genocide Forgotten? GENOCIDE By definition genocide is the organized killing of a people for the express purpose of putting an end to their collective existence (Webster's dictionary). As a rule, the organizing agent is the nation, the victim population is a domestic minority, and the end result is the near total death of a society. The Armenian genocide generally conforms to this simple definition. FORGOTTEN The Armenian genocide is a hidden, almost lost part of world history, pretty much eclipsed by the more publicized genocide of the twentieth century, the Holocaust. The question is why. I could take a poll of this room and I am willing to bet that 95% of the students have ever even heard of the Armenian Genocide and those who have couldn't tell me more than a couple sentences about it. This is pretty scary, considering the statistics of the Armenian Genocide. OTTOMAN EMPIRE The Ottoman Empire was ruled by the Turks who had conquered the land from across West Asia, North Africa to Southeast Europe. The Ottoman government was based in Istanbul and was headed by a sultan who was given absolute power. The Turks were Islamic and were a harsh disciplinary civilization. The Armenians, a Christian minority, lived as second class citizens subject to legal restrictions (Graber 119). These restrictions denied them normal safeguards. Neither their lives nor their properties were guaranteed security. As non-Muslims they were also obligated to pay discriminatory taxes and denied participation in government. In its prime of the sixteenth century the Ottoman Empire was a powerful state.

1530 wordsRead More - The Armenian Genocideanalytical essayThe Armenian people have made their home in the Caucasus region of Eurasia for over three thousand years. For some of that time, the kingdom of Armenia was an independent entity, for instance, it became the first nation in the world to make Christianity its official religion. However, over the centuries many great powers rose and fell over the Armenian community, but despite the constant invasions, Armenian culture and pride continued to prosper. This was, until the 11th century, when the first Turkish invasion of Armenian land took place. This led to several hundred years of rule by Muslim Turks, and by the 16th century Armenia had become a part of the Islamic Ottoman Empire. The Armenians lived as second class citizens under Turkish rule, being the Christian minority, and were seen as infidels. They were viewed as a problem by the Muslim Turk rulers, which is what led to the Armenian genocide. The Armenian race experienced the first systematic genocide of the twentieth century. The Genocide took place when approximately 1.5 million Armenians living in Turkey were eliminated from their homeland through forced deportations and massacred between 1915 and 1918. The reason for the Armenian genocide was cultural tension between the Armenians and Turks, the rise of Turkish nationalism and the outbreak of war.
