The Armenian Genocide

While i was researching, i realized that there have been more Genocide's in the world than I had ever thought of. The Armenian Genocide occured in the early 1900's. I learned that the Armenians first lived in the Ottoman Empire with the Turks, but when the empire started to go down, the Armenian groups started to split apart and become independent. When problems started to occur between the Armenian's and Turks, the Turks called all of the leaders of Armenian's and murdered all of them. The turks, then asked all of the men to help then with the war; instead they killed all of them as well, or they worked to death. Moreover, when only the women and children were left, the Turks told them that they were going to relocate a place to live temporarily; they obviously believed the Turks. The Turks eventually killed them, raped them, they died of hunger, or dehydrated. I thought that the Holocaust is the worse thing that anyone can go through; but there are so many more Genocide's that i have occured in this world which I'm sure not a lot of people are aware of. Reading about the Armenian Genocide kind of made me upset.
