Dbq 11 Genocides

The Armenian Massacre happened in 1894-1896 and the Armenian Genocide happened in 1915-1920 which was caused by the Turkish Government. The Turkish Government’s aim was to remove all the Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire because they were more educated and wealthier then the Turkish population . The Turkish Government was also worried that the Armenians would become allies with Russia, who were a threat to Turkey . They killed and deported the Armenians to prevent this happening. It has been estimated

The Holocaust was a mass murder of millions of individuals’ primary to and during World War II. “Only 54 percent of the people surveyed by the Anti- Defamation League (ADL) in a massive, global poll has ever heard of the Holocaust” (Wiener-Bronner). The Holocaust was from 1933-1945 and was run by German leader named Adolf Hitler. Hitler was a man who wanted to create his own race of people. Therefore to create this race, he wiped out anyone who did not have the specific descriptions that he wanted. For people to fit into his race, they had to have blue eyes and blond hair. This excluded the Jews and from then on Hitler slowly dehumanized them. In the concentration camp the first thing they had to pass was the selection test. The selection test was what the SS man (German soldiers) used to determine who was fit for work. Usually children, mothers, and elders were the first to die because they were not mentally fit for the work they were going to be given. People who passed the selection process either died of starvation, disease, fatigue, or assassination. It took twelve years before anyone intervened and by then it was too late for millions of people. Even though over twelve million people died during the Holocaust, genocides have still happened in Rwanda, Darfur and Cambodia.

How is it possible that after decades filled with thousands of deaths due to genocide, it still occurs to this day? For instance, Rwandan and Jewish families were torn apart, along with the hundreds of precious treasures and memories of each individual. During the Holocaust, over six million jews were killed;in addition, throughout the Rwandan genocide more than eight hundred thousand Rwandans were killed. Therefore, with these prior fatalities, it is the duty of upcoming generations to unite and put an end to genocide and prevent similar acts from taking place. Genocide strips the innocent lives of families; genocide is known as an act of the intentional mass murder of people, usually those who pertain to a specific race or religion. Punishing

There were many reasons that could be tied to why the Armenian Genocide happened, but there is no reason bigger than the fact that the Turkish Government was unsatisfied with the religious state of the Armenians. The Armenians had established their national religion as Christianity unlike Turkey who was mostly Muslim. The main group that enforced this was called the Young Turks. The Young Turks were a group that had taken control of Turkey. According to the United Human Rights Council, “[The Turkish Government] exploited the religious, cultural, economic and political differences between Turks and Armenians so that the average Turk came to regard Armenians as strangers among them.” It started with the Armenians

During World War I, the government of Turkey sought to rid their country of the Armenians. The Turks and other ethnic groups hated the Armenians for their ability to prosper, even as a minority group with limited rights. This hatred led to the desire to cleanse the Ottoman Empire of Armenian influence. The Turkish people say that the Ottoman empire went through a civil war during this time, which explains the deaths of so many Armenians. Although the Turks claim otherwise, the treatment of the Armenian people during World War I qualifies as a genocide through scale, government involvement, and the usage of the genocide process.

The Holocaust was the extermination of Jews along with other groups by the Nazis under the leadership of Hitler. The Holocaust lasted from 1933 to 1945 and took the lives of about 6 million Jews as well as millions of others within other ethnic groups. This was nearly two-thirds of the European Jewish population. The Armenian genocide began in 1915 and ended in 1917. However, brutality to the Armenians did not cease until 1923.This genocide was the massacre of 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman government under the power of the Young Turks. There were around 2 million Armenians living in the Ottoman empire before WWI. By the end of Armenian brutality in 1923, an estimated one and a half million Armenians had been slaughtered and only half a million Armenians were

The Holocaust was a tragic event that after 83 years many people still remember. The Holocaust is the biggest genocide in human history. It is important to learn about the Holocaust because it helps citizens foster a caring and responsible society. It helps us study the behavior of the part-takers so that a genocide of any kind will never happen. It also helps us see how our decisions have an effect on us and others.

The Armenian Genocide of 1915 was the Ottoman Governments eradication of the Armenians within what is now known as Turkey. Ottoman authorities arrested deported and eventually murdered Armenian subjects, as well as targeting men, women and Christian ethnic groups (Kévorkian, 2011). World War I was a key factor when looking at the Armenian Genocide; in 1914 the Turks entered the war on the same side of the Austro-Hungarian Empire and Germany. Government and military leadership feared the revolt of the Armenians; they

The First Modern genocide was the Armenian Genocide, but what was the Armenian genocide? It was horrific acts committed against the Armenian people of the Ottoman Empire. The Armenian genocide was planned and administrated against the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire by the Turkish government. The Armenians were deported, starved, abducted, tortured and more. This devastating time lasted from 1915 through 1918. An estimated guess of around one and a half million Armenians

The Armenian Genocide, also sometimes called the first genocide, happen in April 1915. The Ottoman government had a plan to decimate the Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire. There was approximately 1.5 Christian Armenians lived in the Ottoman Empire at that time. The Armenian Genocide physically annihilated approximately 664,000 to 1.2 Christian Armenian from the Spring of 1915 to the Fall of 1916. They went through starvation, illness due to exposure and massacres.

Today there are many Genocides that have made history. Each one is as important as the other. A Genocide is tons of people being killed. It should be knowledgeable to remember the lives that were taken and will always be remembered. Not only were these Genocides planned they actually happened and were planned. Innocent people are hated for their race or religion and are killed and forced out of their homes.

In 1914 through 1918, the Turks, while they were still labeled as the Ottoman Empire, were in a war with Russia and were afraid that one of their occupied lands, Armenia, would help Russia since they both were Christians. This forced the Turkish government to decide that it was time to eliminate the Armenians by blaming and killing them for their alleged betrayals. Even today, Turkey still denies they committed genocide. The massacre that took place in the Ottoman Empire between 1914-1918 should be considered genocide because it went through all eight stages of genocide, especially highlighted preparation and extermination.

Turkey’s involvement in the World War 1 provided cover for extreme elements of the very nationalistic Young Turks regime to carry out the genocide. The genocide started in 1915, culminated in 1917 and was characterized by mass deportation, slaughter, starvation and raped. Those Armenians who were conscripted in the Turkish army were executed and this was explained as a natural occurrence of war. Pasha was the Leader and chief executor in the mass execution.

The Armenian genocide has several main causes: European meddling in Ottoman internal affairs, nationalism, economic jealousy, and Armenian involvement in the Russian war effort. Though, a lot of the causes are interrelated. For example, nationalism and European meddling go hand in hand. What exactly was the Armenian genocide? Well, the Armenian genocide was a state orchestrated machine of mass-murder and rape of the Armenian people, and several other ethnic groups, of the Ottoman Empire 1915-1923. The Armenians were one of many ethnic groups of the Ottoman Empire, and they had lived in eastern Asia Minor for around three thousand years prior to the atrocity .

Approximately one and a half million Armenians were killed from 1915-1923. The remaining part was either Islamized or exiled.” The Armenian Genocide was a horrific event that caused the Armenians to have a major loss in population. From this, the Armenians should have been given reparations, but were not and that still affects them to this day.
