they were all brutally murdered and raped in large numbers
The answer posted previously was wrong; there were concentration camps during WWI. The Turks had the Armenians in concentration camps such as Deir ez-Zor during WWI. Around 1.5 million Armenians were killed in that genocide total.
They blamed Serbia. People think he murdered their king and went to war with him. And Russia was one Serbias side
There was a lot of commotion going on so the Turksthought that everyone would be concetrating on the war so they wont notice that they were trying to exterminate the Armenians.
At the beginning of World War I, many Armenians supported the Allies, particularly Russia, due to their historical grievances against the Ottoman Empire and hopes for autonomy or independence. The Armenian population, which was largely Christian, saw an opportunity to gain support for their cause against the oppressive Ottoman regime. However, this alignment would ultimately lead to tragic consequences, as the Ottoman government viewed Armenians as potential traitors and initiated a campaign of genocide against them during the war.
About one third of all Armenians died during World War I primarily due to the Armenian Genocide, which was orchestrated by the Ottoman Empire. Beginning in 1915, the government implemented mass deportations, forced marches, and systematic killings of Armenians, driven by a combination of nationalism, wartime paranoia, and a desire to eliminate the Armenian population within its borders. This tragic event led to the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians, profoundly impacting the Armenian community and its diaspora.
