Armenian National Liberation Movement

The Armenian National Liberation Movement refers to a series of efforts by Armenians to achieve independence and self-determination, particularly in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This movement emerged in reaction to the Ottoman Empire's oppression and aimed to establish a national identity and secure rights for Armenians. Key events include the Armenian Genocide during World War I, which further intensified these aspirations. Ultimately, the movement contributed to the establishment of the First Republic of Armenia in 1918, although the region faced subsequent challenges and conflicts, especially during the Soviet era and in the context of neighboring territories.
