Armenian Genocide
The Armenian genocide was one of the most massive "root-and-branch"
genocides ever carried out against innocent people. In 1915, as World War I
occurred, the Turkish government (ruler of the Ottoman Empire) decided to thin
out the herd of most of the male Armenian population, and wipeout the
remainder, mostly women, children, and the elderly. They were massacred just
because they constantly wanted independence. The deportation became a death
march, with extreme violence leading to the death of most of the survivors of
the initial genocide; which had been intended. By the time the exhausted and
devastated survivors reached protection in neighboring countries, up to
three-quarters of the entire Ottoman Armenian population had already been
murdered.
