=Armenian Genocide  Homepage =

 Millions of Armenians died during the Armenian Genocide 1915-1923. By the time it as over in 1923, over two thirds of the Armenians that lived in the Ottoman Empire were killed, deported, or left out in deserts to starve. That was over 1.5 Million people, gone in just a matter of eight years. 

 Armenians living in Turkey were loyal to the empire and lived in peace with Turks. During the nineteenth century, a weakening Ottoman Empire caused European powers to want to gain the Ottoman Empire. Tensions came up once Armenians showed signs of wanting political representation (as they were second-class citizens). In an effort to make sure that the Armenians would not try a revolution, the Turkish government started the Armenian Genocide.

 Though the Armenian Genocide was very much, almost identical, to the Holocaust by the Germans, now it is forgotten and overlooked by the world.
