(GRADED) HIST 410N Week 1 Assignment Case Study: Imperialism and Genocide (Option 2: The Armenian Genocide)

Document Content and Description Below

Option 2: The Armenian Genocide Ethnic hatred is not new to the human race and ethnic hatred also goes hand in hand with some of the causes of World War 1 that we have discussed this week, namely n ... ationalism and imperialism. In nationalism, the people not only believe their countrymen (those who look, talk, sound, and believe like them) are not only “better” than people of certain other countries but they also have the right and possibly even the responsibility to conquer areas with those inferior to them and take whatever resources they feel they need. Add to this the need for the leader of a country to be able to blame a certain ethnic group within that country for their problems. Such was the case in the Ottoman Empire. The Ottoman Turks launched a winter offensive into the mountains of southern Russia early in the war and suffered a severe defeat, both at the hands of the Russian army and the terrible weather they encountered. The Sultan needed a scapegoat to blame the loss on, so he picked an unpopular ethnic minority, the Armenians. Since the people seemed to believe the story, the Ottoman military rounded up as many Armenians as they could and marched them away to their fate. Watch the following video on the Armenian genocide: Link (video): Genocide Denied(Links to an external site.) (32:33). After viewing the video, conduct research on the topic and develop a case study based on the following questions: How did the Armenian genocide play on the root causes of World War I, including nationalism, imperialism, social Darwinism, ethnic hatred, and the gullibility of the Turkish people who allowed this to happen and often even supported it. What were the main motivations of the Ottoman rulers … entire ethnic minority within their country? What was the process the Ottomans went through to round up the Armenians and march them to their deaths? Describe the process of the march and eventual genocide of the Armenians. Why do terrible crimes against humanity always seem to happen during a war? How do foreign governments recognize and deal with this event in their relationship with Turkey?
