The Allies were generally aware of the Armenian Genocide during World War I. They were not aware of its extent or ferocity, but they were aware of its occurrence. The Allies simply could not care that the Armenians were being butchered and were helpless to do anything anyway. The genocide was occurring deep within Ottoman territory, far away from the Allied-controlled beachheads at Gallipoli or the British offensives in the southern Levant.

Other Central Powers were also aware of the Armenian genocide, arguably more-so since accounts of the Armenian genocide from German diplomats are the most erudite contemporaneous accounts of the events, but did not care; the Central Powers needed Ottoman support if they stood a chance of winning the war. As a result, German and Austro-Hungarian leaders officially silenced any diplomat that spoke about the genocide during World War I.

The Allied victors demanded, after the war, that the Ottoman government prosecute the Young Turks occused of wartime crimes. however, nothing was ever really done. Because it was not a genocide but a war. The Armenians had began to attack the Ottoman army and the Ottomans responsed. Besides the war, there were civil killings from both sides. Ottoman Empire hanged many Turks as a punishment. Nothing was done to Armenians who killed civil Turks. They were only banished from Turkish soil.
