Turks in Germany

but this was seized by France. Italy argued that, as Tunisia was only a few miles away from Sicily, it had a right to Tunisia due to proximity . Since Italy was denied Tunisia, they looked to Libya. Libya was still under the control of the Ottoman Turks, and was nominally an Ottoman province in the 20th Century. But the Ottoman’s exerted very limited control over it. Italy saw Libya as the ideal colony due to its proximity and the fact that it had a Mediterranean coast . The concept at the…

Germany was not always the peaceful country it is today. Germany was divided in 1945 after their defeat in World War II. East Germany was communist, and West Germany was non-communist. The government of East Germany restricted all access to West Berlin in 1961, during the cold war. Overnight, they built the Berlin wall to keep West Germans out, and East Germans in. Families were separated, and they became completely different countries. Their ways of living were very different as well. The East…

When we hear the word “genocide” we at once remember the Armenian Genocide and the Holocaust. About 6 million of people became victims of the Holocaust, 1.5 million of Armenians were killed in the Armenian Genocide, these huge numbers will always remain in our minds. A lot of people lost their families, homes and the ability to live in peace. These actions, by no means, left imprint on our ancestors whose peaceful life was disrupted. The problem of genocide is currently central problem of our…

Unlike the holocaust Ive never really learned or heard about the Armenian Genocide. It was very interesting to learn about something that is rarely talked about. When the Ottoman Empire allied itself with Germany in WWI, the Young Turks saw an opportunity to rid the empire of its Armenian population. Between 1914 and 1915, Turkish officials began the process of getting rid of Armenians. They began in the village of Zeytun, by ransacking houses, arresting community leaders…

United States. The United States sanctioned the simple action of moving the Japanese 50 miles from the coast. How was the expulsion of the Jews from Germany any different from the United States’s repositioning of the Japanese-American citizens? Since this is widely accepted as common practice, the only thinkable reason that the defendants before are being tried for this alleged crime is victor’s justice…

As a direct result of the battles between Saladin and Richard the Lionheart during the Third Crusade, Richard was not able to capture Jerusalem for the Christians. The primary goal of the Crusades was to reconquer the Holy Land, and Jerusalem, being a town of great importance to both Islam and Christianity made it seem that Richard had failed in his rallies to not control the city. However, he promised peace with Saladin, but King Richard did not come away empty handed. While Ascalon was given…

Daniel J. Goldhagen, an author and former Harvard professor, is an acclaimed academic who studies prejudice and antisemitism. While historians and professors are familiar with his published works, his response to Christopher Browning’s book, “Ordinary Men” has received the most attention.

died, mainly because they were denied any food or water as well as being attacked by the Turks government (no matter age and/or gender). Finally, the international community threatened to hold Turks responsible. They certainly did not get away with their actions.…

the Nazi in Germany. Although the Nazi’s were killing people in gas chambers, and what happened at Katyn was with weapons, either way it is still a mass murder. “Class cleansing is a strategy of calculated and systematic annihilation of an entire social class by totalitarian regimes whose foundational ideology is Marxism-Leninism” (43). He shows that the Nazi policy of annihilating Jews is the same as the deportation and killing of around one-and-a-half million Armenians by the Turks in 1915,…

inferiority to the Aryan race. The Armenian genocide transpired during World War I , specifically between April 1915-1917. However, the Holocaust occurred during World War II, specifically between 1933-1945. The aggressors of the Armenians were the Turks while the Nazis were the aggressors of the Holocaust. The two mass executions took the lives of millions of innocent…
