Armenian Genocide

The genocide began on April 24, 1915 in the Ottoman Empire. The Young Turk Government used World War I as a cover for the genocide. The Turks murdered Armenian leaders on that day. Nationlism drove the Truks to kill the Armenians. Propaganda from the Ottoman Empire also encouraged the Turks to take action against the Armenians. Armenians were be drafted into the military to be killed and they would go on death marches.

I was not at all surprised about the genocide. Humans always believe that they are better than the other person. It is sad that so many died without a legitimate reason but what else is to be expected when the majority believes in nationlism.
