There was one unfortunate event in history that really stuck out at me. That really made me think, Oh my God! Why?! It is crazy that the 100 year “aniversary” of it is coming up this April. And even crazier that it came up two times in less than ten years (1915-1918 and 1920-1923 (DoSomething.org). The amount of hate that was in this was sickening.

Whoa! Stop there! How would they of had the audacity to even think about doing that?! Anyway, they kicked it off by taking 300 Armenian leaders, professionals etc. and deporting them from Armenia and Anatolia to Syria and killing them. They also they slaughtered 5,000 minorities from their homes and off the streets (Dosomething.org). It was officially declared a genocide on April 24th that first year. To be clear with you it was a just a disconnection between the Christian Armenians vs. their Islamic government (Prezi, Ethan Moseley). It would be just like the US government sent their army troops to kill all of their christian citizens. Sounds like the best thing that would ever happen right?
