WHY
The Armenian Genocide happened because the Ottoman Empire was fighting for the Central Powers in WWI and they wanted to destroy a better advanced ethnicity. The Ottomans were being attacked by Russia and they started deporting Armenians out of Turkey and sending them on death marches where lots of innocent people died. Armenias were the minority in Turkey, they were the major Christain minority an They executed Armenian officials and shut down Armenian store's and markets. They refused to sell food to Armenians and then lots of Armenians were starved to death. Men were shot dead and women were raped. Today the Turkish Gocvernment deny the Genocide and say it was all made up, but thats not what all the survivors and dead bodies explain.
