The Armenian Genocide, which took place during World War I from 1915 to 1922, resulted in the mass extermination and forced displacement of approximately 1.5 million Armenians by the Ottoman Empire. The genocide effectively ended with the defeat and dissolution of the Ottoman Empire after World War I.
As the war progressed, the Ottoman Empire faced substantial military defeats and internal turmoil. The Allied powers, particularly the UK, France, and Russia, began to gain control over various regions, leading to the eventual occupation of parts of the former Ottoman territory. In the aftermath of the war, the Allies sought accountability for the atrocities committed during the genocide, leading to the trials of some Ottoman officials in what were known as the Ottoman Military Tribunals.
With the establishment of the Republic of Turkey in 1923, the policies toward Armenians fundamentally shifted, and the genocide was largely denied by the new Turkish state. The legacy of the genocide continues to impact Armenian-Turkish relations and the broader historical discourse about recognition and reparations. As of today, many countries recognize the events as a genocide, while Turkey disputes this characterization.
