The Armenian Genocide was initiated by the Ottoman Empire during World War I, particularly starting in 1915. The Young Turks, a nationalist political group that came to power in the empire, orchestrated the mass deportation and extermination of Armenians, whom they viewed as a threat to the state. This systematic campaign resulted in the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million Armenians and is recognized as one of the first modern genocides.
