There are still genocides that happened after the Holocaust such as the Bosnian war which resulted in the death of 8,373 people due to ethnic cleansing.

"Who, after all, speaks today of the annihilation of the Armenians?" - Adolf Hitler Obersalzberg Speech, August 22, 1939 The Armenian Genocide and Holocaust were similar in that their main goal was to eliminate an entire religion, however there are far more differences in the cause, course, and effects. The Armenian Genocide was carried out by the Young Turks, a Turkish Nationalist reform party in the 20th century, who favored reformation of the absolute monarchy of the Ottoman Empire.[1] To do

The Armenian genocide began on April 24, 1915 when the Turkish government arrested and killed off several hundred Armenian intellectuals. Directly following, Turkish people began forcibly removing any Armenian citizen that they came into contact with. They were taken from their homes, schools, places of business, and just simply off the streets, gathered into large groups, and sent on “death marches”. Turkish soldiers would walk beside them carrying weaponry as they marched them into the desert.

Armenian Genocide In 1978 Jimmy Carter gave a speech at a White House ceremony and said, “It is generally not known in the world that, in the years preceding 1916, there was a concerted effort made to eliminate all the Armenian people… And there weren’t any Numberg trials.” For being one of the largest genocides in history, many people have little knowledge and/or awareness of the Armenian Genocide and of those that do, only a handful will admit to the killings as genocide.

Genocide, as defined by the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum, is the mass killing of a people group “with the intent to destroy the existence of the group”. Even though the term was coined in 1944 by Raphael Lemkin, a Polish-Jewish lawyer who yearned for a word to properly describe the atrocities committed against the Jews during World War II, many genocides have taken place previous.

These eyewitness accounts and survivor

The holocaust and armenian genocide were both forms of genocide which caused the deaths of many innocent people. However, they do have some differences and to some extent the holocaust is worse than the armenian genocide.

Many Armenians were deported, killed or had to change identities and leave behind their loved ones to survive. The concentration camps were called “deir ez-zor camps” which was

The Armenian and Rwandan genocides are the same in ways because they both occurred during or immeadility after a significant war occurred. They are different because they have different reason why they were attacked and targeted. Both of them had a significant loss of life during the genocides but there is still one major thing that makes them different. They were attacked at different time periods and the real reason why they were attacked is still greatly unknown today. The Armenian genocide

The Genocide in Syria is one that has been going on since 2011. Though Syria is mentioned in the media almost daily, the focus is mainly on the refugee crisis. Refugees and genocide tend to go hand in hand, but the fact is that the entire genocide end of the conflict is being ignored.

Both of the time periods show how many people died horrific and terrible deaths, and in the events of the Holocaust and the Witch Trials power was used to instill fear and hysteria

Robert Geswell Mr. Milton Honors World History March 23, 2023 Why the claim that the Armenian Genocide was a result of the Armenian’s support for Russia during World War 1 is false. What was the most well-known and horrific genocide to take place during World War One? That was the Armenian Genocide committed against the Armenian people by the Turks of the Ottoman Empire.

History is a magnificent subject. Its magnificent because we can always learn from it, yet it is constantly expanding, introducing new ideas and new philosophies. With these ever-changing ideas and philosophies, we go through some horrific times. As discussed in the book “To Kill a People” by John Cox, humanity will do awful things in an attempt to spread their ideals.

Even though the ideology is built

Genocide continues to cause harm to this day. Adolf Hitler is seen as one of the most evil men in history, the man who lead the Nazis to carry out the Holocaust.

Many people have heard of the Holocaust but have never thought about how it affected an individual who went through it. The Holocaust is the most well-known genocide, although there are many other instances of mass killings, including the Bosnian Genocide. Bosnian Serb forces, with the backing of the Serb-dominated Yugoslav army, targeted both Bosniak (Bosnian Muslim) and Croatian civilians for wicked crimes resulting in the deaths of some 100,000 people (80 percent Bosniak) by 1995.
