1ArmeniaWhy

Abdul Hamid II came to power in Turkey wanting to create a Muslim country from Asia minor to Central Asia. Armenia stood in Turkeys way to make this Muslim country, Armenia is a Christian country. The Turkish government made Turks dislike the Armenian and kill the Armenians. They did this by saying things like Turks are the chosen people of God. On April 24, 1915 massacres of the Armenian began. Many people were arrested, sent away, and killed. The Turks killed thousands of high positioned people a day so that Armenia couldn't make a resistance.
