Understand the critical tipping points that led to systematic mass violence against Armenians in the late Ottoman Empire. Readers will grasp the evolution from civil resistance to targeted state-sanctioned atrocities.
Short Summary
- Identify the rise of extremist Turkish nationalism fueling central government actions between the 1800s and 1900s.
