  • The genocide involved Turkey and Armenia.
  • Armenia was the victim and Turkey attacked them.
  • Turkey was ruled by Mehmet Talaat and the CUP or
    the Young Turks, Mehmet Talaat controlled both.
  • It lasted from 1915-1918 and was renewed again in
    1922.

4
  • The Armenians were attacked because of their
    liberal ideas which the Turks did not want in
    their country.
  • As a solution they decided to take over half of
    the Middle East, destroying all who were not
    Turks in the process.

5
  • Because it was WWI, the rest of the world was
    preoccupied (Completely absorbed by another
    thought or action) and did not notice the
    conflict until 1918.
  • If WWI had not been happening, then the other
    countries of the world could have assisted the
    Armenians in their time of need.

6
  • In all 1.5 million Armenians were killed either
    by being sent into the desert to starve or by
    being sent to death camps.
  • After WWI, France, the US, Russia, and Britain
    forced the Ottoman Empire to surrender.
  • Lots of support and money was raised around the
    world for the situation of the Armenians.
