The Armenian genocide, which occurred during the early 20th century, was a catastrophic event perpetrated by the Ottoman Turkish government against its defenseless citizens, who were devoted Christian minorities in a Muslim state. A regimental government against its loyal subjects carried out the actions committed during 1915. The rationale behind the horrendous massacre were due to political and social terms in the collapsing Ottoman empire, but regardless, its aim was to intentionally loot, demolish and seize Armenian businesses and their properties. The government’s implementation was to completely annihilation a single culture and civilization, specifically, the Armenians. While there is no clear agreement or exact estimation on how many Armenians lost their lives, there is a general agreement among Western scholars that over a million have perished between 1915 and 1917.
