1915 Deportations

The 1915 Deportations refer to the forced relocation of Armenians by the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Over the course of several months, hundreds of thousands of Armenians were expelled from their homeland, primarily to the desert regions in Mesopotamia. Many faced brutal treatment, starvation, and death along the way. These deportations are widely recognized as part of the Armenian Genocide, where the Ottoman government aimed to systematically eliminate the Armenian population. The event is a significant historical tragedy, highlighting the devastating consequences of ethnic persecution and mass displacement.
