You might think that if there was a genocide anywhere in the world, it would be the globally accepted event and the reminder that the human race could easily sink, but this article prove that this doesn’t always have to be the case. The Armenian Genocide occurred over a period of 9 years, from 1914-1923, where an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were brutally exterminated by the Ottoman Empire. This systematic killing was carried throughout World War I and continued after it ended as well. It was carried out in two stages; the first was the mass killing of able-bodied Armenians, while the second stage saw the deportation of women, children and the elder into Syria. Insidermonkey experts made a list of US states that didn’t recognize the Armenian Genocide until recently.
The heir of the Ottoman Empire, the Turkey, later acknowledged these incidents, but the government refused to acknowledge it as the genocide. But the government took one step further and pressured other countries, mostly its allies, to do the same. It ended up with only 28 countries, not counting Armenia, recognizing this event as the genocide. There are also many countries that recognized the Armenian genocide were, but to spare you some bigger effort, I can tell you that the most of them were European countries, while only Lebanon (in 1997) and Syria (in 2015) out of all Asian countries officially recognized this event as a genocide.
