Abdul Hamid II

Abdul Hamid II ( 34th Ottoman Sultan) ascended to throne in the year of 1876 after his older brother Murat V’s deposition because of his mental problems. Abdul Hamid II was the Ottoman sultan for 33 years until he was moved away from the throne with the event of 31 March. During his regency he tried to strengthen the autocracy in the Ottoman Empire. Some historians claim that his moves made the Ottoman Empire last longer about 30 years. As the Abdul Hamid became sultan Ottoman Empire

During that time the Nazi’s were killing off Jewish people, and sending them to concentration or work camps to be eventually killed off or worked till they are almost dead.

The Armenian Genocide, also known as the Armenian Holocaust, was the organized killing of Armenians. While there is no clear agreement on how many Armenians lost their lives, there is general agreement among Western scholars that over a million Armenians may have perished between 1914 and 1918. It all happened during the Ottoman Empire, present-day Turkey, where 2 million Armenians lived. The Armenian Genocide is the second-most studied massacre, after the Holocaust. To date Twenty-two countries

Research Question: [how can the Turks still deny that what happened to the Armenians wasn’t a genocide?] The Powers in Turkey date back to Anatolia which was during prehistoric times. Anatolia is a town and a former municipality in the Ioannina regional unit, Epirus, Greece. The Hitties were people that established an empire in Anatolia, called the Hittie Empire. The Hittie Empire thrived from 1,750- 1,200 B.C.E. After the fall of the Hittites, the new states of Phrygia and Lydia stood strong on

one goal, to allow for the social rights of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire to exist. Such a movement in Armenian nationalism allowed for more protest to the unjust act taken by the Ottoman State. Shortly after the treaty of berlin, Sultan Abdul Hamid II, not only took measures to stall the implementation of the reforms, but also created a paramilitary group known as the Hamidiya, to “deal with the Armenians as they wish” (Balakian 2003). During 1894 to 1996, Ottoman officials intentionally began

The unfortunate truth was that the Armenians were a minority and the powerful Turks did not fail in treating them like one: “During the reign of the Sultan Abdul Hamid (Abdulhamit) II (1876-1909), a series of massacres throughout the empire meant to frighten Armenians and so dampen their expectations, cost up to three hundred thousand lives by some

For anything in life, nobody likes being blamed for things they didn’t do. In Turkey, however, regarding the Armenian Genocide, this was not the case. In 1915, there were 2 million Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire. Using World War I as a cover, the Turkish government systematically killed 1.5 million of them (“The Armenian Genocide”). Although systematically killing an entire population is the definition of a genocide, turkey will still not own up to the the word, genocide. Their excuse

Young Turks into extreme chauvinists, bent on creating a new order and eliminating the ‘Armenian Question’. The Young Turks originally emerged prior to the 1908 revolution as a constitutionalist movement against the autocratic regime of Sultan Abdul Hamid II, and subsequently governed the Ottoman Empire between 1908 and 1918. Inspired by Western ideology and French democracy, the Young Turks had adopted

Now and days every person must take at least two years of history in order to pass high school. Many people, including myself, ask the question,“Why must we take history?” Well the answer many of us get is, “ So that history does not repeat itself.” The real question of the matter is, Does history repeat itself? History has repeated itself over and over again. An example of this would be the genocide that occurred in the Ottoman empire in 1915, nearly 88 years later another genocide has occurred
