El Genocidio Armenio: Una Guía Fascinante sobre la Masacre de los Armenios por los Turcos del Imperio Otomano (Explorando el Pasado de Armenia)

by Captivating History

Si desea descubrir la fascinante historia del Genocidio Armenio, continúe leyendo... Entre 1915 y 1923, un millón y medio de armenios fueron deportados y asesinados de la manera más cruel. Fueron arrancados de sus hogares (en una tierra donde habían vivido por más tiempo de lo que la historia puede decir, una tierra tan antigua que muchos especulan que era el sitio del jardín bíblico del Edén) y enviados a marchas de la muerte a través del abrasador desierto sirio. Les dispararon en los umbrales de las casas donde criaban a sus hijos. Fueron masacrados con espadas de maneras devastadoras para desanimar a los que quedaban vivos. Murieron de hambre en campos de concentración, fueron quemados, ahogados y golpeados hasta la muerte por miles, y posteriormente sus cuerpos fueron expuestos y se descompusieron al aire libre. Estaban sobre dosificados con morfina. Se les inyectó sangre infectada. Fueron arrojados por la borda al gélido mar Negro. Fueron gaseados. Fueron violados. Fueron secuestrados y vendidos como esclavos. En resumen, el Imperio otomano bajo el mando de los Tres Pashas hizo todo lo posible por exterminar a la raza armenia con tal fervor que sus acciones inspirarían la creación de la misma palabra que ahora define el mayor crimen que puede perpetrarse contra una civilizació el genocidio. Sin embargo, actualmente, el Genocidio Armenio es un evento que se ha disuelto de la conciencia colectiva. Es un evento que tiene repercusiones que se extienden hasta la actualidad y es un evento que nunca debe ser olvidado.

Horrific

I knew about the Genocide, but this quick read really breaks your heart, and shows we must never forget these horrifying events. Good source material. Worth the read. I hope the rest of Captivating History is as good. Check it out.

This should be required reading for everyone; this is an eye-opening book about a small ethnic group of people who have suffered greatly for their religion.  Because they were a small group of Christians in the (largely Muslim) country of Turkey, they were persecuted.  What happened is surprising because Muslims are generally tolerant of other faiths.
 
However, this story occurs because of the Turkish sultan Abdul-Hamid, ruler of the Ottoman Empire.  He did not trust the Christian Armenians in his country and sought to get rid of as many of them as was possible. After he was gone, the remaining Turks were afraid of an uprising by the Armenians and continued to massacre them.  According to Google, the population of Armenians in Turkey is now between 50,000 and 70,000.  In 1914, there were 2 million.

The Turkification of Turkey is fascinating.  However, the result was a deep distrust of the minorities within the country.  This book gives the reasons for the beginning of World War I in great detail (which I appreciated).  We always hear that the reason for the war was the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife.  However, this book goes into greater detail on the tensions and the alliances that were in place.  Essentially, Turkey joined Germany in the war while also waging war against its own Armenian population. 

If you are wondering why no one talks of the Armenian genocide (yet we hear of the Holocaust regularly), it is because of the difference in the countries involved.  Germany admits to the Holocaust while Turkey ignores or denies it occurred.  Interesting.  Thanks for the assorted photos/drawings.  They give the flavor of the country and the time in which these events occurred.

This was my first "Captivating History" book. It will not be my last!

Overall the book wasn’t bad, it was a brief over view of what happened during the genocide while also explaining more of the political issues that led up to the event. I recommend it if you don’t know much about the genocide but if you already know most of the history it’ll be a bit boring cause you’re rereading it.

Read this book

Because the genocide was between two world wars it has been overlooked. History courses gloss over it but focus on the Jewish holocaust. After all the murders only about 400,000 out of 2million survived. But as Hitler said. "Who remembers armenia?
