Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Armenian inhabitants of the Ottoman Empire were subject to mass deportation and genocide ordered by the Ottoman Empire during World War I, resulting in about a million Armenian deaths from murder, starvation, and disease. Option A is not fully accurate since many Armenians who lived on the Ottoman side of the border were also deported, not just those who lived on the Russian side. Option C is not supported by historical facts as the Armenians were subjected to numerous discriminatory policies and mass killings, not just criticism of their war efforts. Option D is also not accurate as the vast majority of Armenians who left the Ottoman Empire during this period did not end up in the United States.
