This chapter talks about the Armenian genocide just before World War I. It has many of the same traits of the German led genocide during the second World War. For years, the Armenian people were considered an inferior brand of people, much like the Germans considered the Jews. Melson says it is the blueprint for all the genocides that have followed it. Racism drove the Jewish Holocaust, blaming the whole race for the death of God's only son. The Armenian people were also allowed to convert to the Muslim religion.
Question:
Was the treatment of the Armenian people known while World War I was going on, and if so, was anyone fighting the fix that wrong?
