V.S.

 In 1915 the Armenian Genocide started between two major countries at the time. Armenia which practiced the Christian religion and Turkey which practiced the Muslim religion. The Turkish were the ones killing the Armenians and the Armenians were trying their best to defend their country. The genocide started off by ordering the Armenians out of Turkey and "deporting" them to Palestine and Syria. Instead of getting deported, they got slaughtered. Following that, the Turkish Army killed all the educated Armenians they could find as well as poets, writers, lawyers, doctors, bankers, merchants and the wealthy. Many people died while trying to defend their life, but on the other side there were those who were saved and found a way to live while the Turkish killed the other 1.5 million people.
