When Armenians began demanding more rights, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it led to increased tensions with the Ottoman Empire, which viewed these demands as a threat to its authority. The growing nationalist movements among Armenians culminated in the Armenian Genocide during World War I, where an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were systematically killed or deported. This tragic event marked a significant turning point in Armenian history and intensified their struggle for recognition and rights, both within the Ottoman Empire and later in the Republic of Armenia. The legacy of these demands continues to shape Armenian identity and geopolitical relations in the region today.
Political organizations demanding rights for African-Americans began in 1905 with the Niagara Movement. Out of concern over the disenfranchisement of black people in the Southern States. Through strategies, they sought to use strategies to give black people the rights they were entitled to. The organization eventually became the NAACP.
The Armenian genocide began in late 1914 to 1915, when the Ottoman government first began to portray Armenians as a threat. One night in April 1915, they rounded up 250 Armenians who were influential in society and politics and imprisoned them. This was the start of the atrocities.
Individual couples began demanding same-sex marriage rights back in the 1970s (none won). There was some talk of legalization in Hawaii in the 1980s (it never happened). However, organized lobbying for the legalization of same-sex marriage began in the United States around 2000.
The black power movement began demanding equal rights for African Americans. As with any group in those times, there were extremists.
Progress happened in this order in the United States:Women voting (1919)Desegregated schools (1954)The modern equal rights for women movement began around the same time the gay rights movement began (late 1960s). Neither movement has fully achieved its goals yet.
The Young Turks, the political group in power of the Ottoman Empire in 1915, had originally agreed to allow the Armenians to have much more equal rights than they did before under the rule of the sultan, Abdul Hamid. However, as they hoped to see the Ottoman Empire return to their former glory, they wanted to expand eastward. However, the eastern section held most of the Armenian population. They would have to move them out of the way so they could expand. When WWI broke out, many Turks began growing suspicious of the Armenians forming a "secret alliance" with the Russians, the country they happened to be fighting. They realized that this was an opportunity to solve "the Armenian question," as the rest of the world would understand their dire measures they had to take to bring back the power of their Empire. They confiscated any weapon any Armenian owned, and began the Armenian Genocide.

The Armenians are an ethnic group native to the Armenian Highlands, with a rich cultural and historical heritage. From 1850 to 1914, many Armenians lived primarily in the Ottoman Empire, particularly in Eastern Anatolia, as well as in parts of Persia (modern-day Iran) and Russia. This period saw significant demographic changes due to social and political tensions, leading to increasing hardships for Armenians, culminating in the Armenian Genocide during World War I. Additionally, a growing diaspora began to form as Armenians migrated to various parts of Europe and the Americas seeking better opportunities and safety.
Women's rights began in Seneca Falls, New York.
African American voters began to lose their rights
If we hadn't had the civil war than we might still have slaves today. Also as a reprecution of that, former slaves began demanding for more rights and then that led to women and every other minority out there to stand up for their basic rights. So if there had been no civil war, women might still not even be able to vote.
