Description
Summary:The deportations and the attempted extermination of the Armenians of the Ottoman Empire were widely written about, discussed, and protested in the United States and Europe during and following the First World War. After the establishment of the Turkish Republic in 1923 attention in the United States and the world community shifted to other matters, and the Armenian Genocide was relegated to the memory hole. For years only survivors, some Armenian intellectuals, and a few historians of the Ottoman Empire raised the topic. Among the latter were some who denied that there ever had been a genocide, or claimed that the Armenians had provoked their own destruction.
