The Armenians suffered greatly. They were trying to gain their independence. By 1880 nearly 2.5 Christian Armenians in the Ottoman Empire demanded their freedom. Throughout the 1890 the Turkish troops killed ten thousand Armenians. During World War I in 1914, the Armenians pledged to support the Turks' enemies. As a result the Turkish goverment deported around two million Armenians. Throughout this process more than 600,000 Armenians died of starvation or were excuted by the Turkish soliders. This genocide was also known as the Amernian Massacre or the "forgotten gencide because it happened nearly 90 years ago. This was considered to be the first modern genocide.
Amernian Genocide is simply horrifying. The Amenian were dieing because of their race. Genocide is to elimate a group of people due to their race, nationality, and gender. This is wrong because they are letting haterd rule them to the point that they are killing innocent Amerinian people.
Should we let hatred lead us...?
