A Summary of what Happened in the Ottoman Empire

"The Armenian genocide was one of the most massive "root-and-branch" exterminations ever carried out against a defenseless people. In 1915, as World War I raged, the Turkish government decided upon the systematic extermination of most of the male Armenian population, and the forced deportation of the remainder, mostly women, children, and the elderly. The deportation became a death march, with extreme violence and deprivation leading to the death of most of the survivors of the initial genocide -- as was intended. By the time the exhausted and traumatized survivors reached refuge in neighboring countries, up to three-quarters of the entire Ottoman Armenian population had been exterminated."(www.genderside.com)
