The Four Stages Of The Armenian Genocide

By the 1800’s the empire that was then controlled by Sultan Abdul Hamid powers had declined but still took hold of Armenia. By the 1890s Armenian scholars from overseas demanded a constitutional government and an end to discriminatory laws in their homeland. This resulted in a furious Sultan ordering the massacre of 100,000 Amanien villagers. Soon after In July of 1908 Sultans viscous reign came to an end when Turkish Nationalist known as ‘Young Turks’ named Mehmef Talaat, Ismail Enver, and Ahmed Djemal forced the nation into a constitutional government yet seized control themselves and created a dictatorship. There was a sudden rise

During the First World War, as the days passed, the male contingent of the caravan got lesser and lesser. Under the excuse of not killing them if they would relinquish their liras, gold coins, men would be evoked of the little money they had if they even had any only to be killed anyways. Days passed and those who couldn’t keep up were put out of their suffering. Bodies were always found scattered by the wayside. While we were at one place, my grandmother loudly cursed the Turkish government for its ruthlessness.

“It is generally not known in the world that, in the years preceding 1916, there was a concerted effort to eliminate all the Armenian people, probably one of the greatest tragedies that ever befell any group. And there weren’t any Nuremberg trials”(Carter, 1987). Jimmy Carter, the thirty-ninth president of the United States, said this quote at the White House reception honoring Armenian Americans in May of 1978. It shows how little is known about the Armenian Genocide and that the survivors never received closure like the Holocaust survivors did with the Nuremberg Trials. During the Armenian Genocide, which lasted from 1915 until 1916, 1.2 million Armenians were brutally murdered.

The extermination was state-sanctioned by the Ottoman Empire in response to protests by Armenians. The Ottoman military assisted by Turkish citizens’ pillaged Armenian villages and cities and massacred their citizens. According to reports over a hundred of thousand Armenians were murdered. The next incident would occur again a few years later in 1915 to 1918 and reemerge once again in 1920 and continue until 1923. Witness accounts of the Armenian Genocide suggest that Ottoman government during this time frame began collecting, deporting and executing three hundred Armenian leaders.

All of the Settlers abandoned the Falling Creek Ironworks, Henricus, and the Smith’s Hundred. Accounts say that the attack took place on a good friday, it’s incorrect. Zero of the contemporary accounts at all have mentioned a good friday not ever not even once, but they have said on a friday morning the twenty second of march sixteen twenty two,it really was on a friday that wasn’t a lie but the good friday of that year fell on april 19 about almost a month after the surprise attack on

The Great Purge marks an extreme period of executions and oppression in the Soviet Union (“Guided History”). Stalin’s purging was his way of dealing with political opposition in the Soviet Union (“War History Online”). Many people believe that Hitler and Stalin took after one another. According to “United to End Genocide”, the words “Never Again” were said after the Holocaust.

During the Trail of Tears, the American government singled out a particular race, the Native Americans, and forced them to move west of the Mississippi, killing thousands in the process. This has been referred to by many as the American Holocaust. The Trail of Tears, as mentioned above, was the forced removal of the Cherokee nation in 1838. So, who is responsible for forcing them off the land that was rightfully theirs? The parties responsible for guiltily stripping the civilized Cherokee of nation of their possessions and forcing them to bear a 2,200 mile journey that killed an estimate of 4,000 Cherokee people are the Founding Fathers, white settlers, and the white settler 's greed.

In fact, the Government passed a decree mandating all Armenians to be disarmed and ordered an inquisition for arms in villages, together with open violence. Later in the spring of 1915, the so called ‘final phase’ began: Armenians were firstly imprisoned for a couple of days and then the process of deportation began. The men, were sent in groups tied to one another and forced to march in direction of Baghdad but they were massacred and killed along the journey . The same process was then repeated for the women and children. When the massacres and deportations finally ended around 1918, more than 1.5 million Armenians had been killed and many others had been deported out of the country.

On the night of October 16, 1859, Brown and his band overran the government munitions stockpile. Some of his men gathered together a modest bunch of prisoners, including a couple slaves. Expression of the attack spread and by the next day Brown and his men were encompassed. On October 18, an organization of U.S. Marines, drove by Colonel Robert E. Lee (1808-70) and Lieutenant J. E. B. Stuart (1833-64), overran Brown and his devotees. Brown was injured and caught, while 10 of his men were slaughtered, including two of his children.

In April 1915, the Turkish army launched an assault on the Armenian populations in the city of Van. The Armenians were being depicted as spies for the Russians by propaganda. Mass deportation and massacre occurred with the remaining Armenian population sent out of the of a death march by Kurds. The First World War was the first instance of total war therefore during this conflict it was difficult to distinguish where the war ended and the genocide began. To this day, Turkey has not recognized the Armenian Genocide as a genocidal act.

However, once the Removal Act was passed, all assistance was taken from them. They were downtrodden and they had no incentive to reestablish their schools or their government. Due to their defiance against the U.S. government the Seminoles incurred the greatest wrath of the U.S. government. In some cases the Seminoles were hunted with bloodhounds, violently removed from their homes, without being able to take anything and arrived at Fort Gibson, cold, hungry, scared and disillusioned. The Seminoles had become dependent upon the government for food, so instead of leaving to build new homes, they set up camps around the Fort to beg

The Armenian genocide, also known as the genocide of 1915, happened during World War One. It is labeled as the Armenian genocide because approximately 1.5 million Armenians were killed, even though other minorities like the Greeks and other Christians were also massacred. The genocide of Armenians began before 1915. From 1894-1896, hundreds of thousands of Armenians were wiped out and forcefully removed from their domiciles. When the Europeans powers threatened to take action the massacres stopped.

During the Holocaust, Nazis deemed that any groups considered “unfit” or “inferior” were to be eradicated, and this included the disabled. The deaf fell under this category and were therefore targeted for murder in the T4, or otherwise known as the euthanasia program.

The Armenian Genocide, also known as the Armenian Holocaust, the Great Calamity, and the Armenian Massacre, was the organized killing of nearly 1.5 million Armenians. It occurred in the Ottoman Empire, present day Turkey, where 2 million Armenians lived. The Armenian Genocide is the second-most studied massacre, after the Nazi Holocaust. Aurora Mardiganian was the daughter of a poor Armenian Family. She witnessed the deaths of her family members and she was forced to walk over 1,400 miles when she was deported from her home into a concentration camps.
