The Morgenthau Report

The Morgenthau Report was a 1919 document created by a U.S. commission led by Henry Morgenthau Jr., to investigate atrocities committed against Armenians by the Ottoman Empire during World War I. It documented widespread killings, deportations, and suffering inflicted on Armenians, providing detailed evidence of what is now recognized as genocide. The report aimed to shed international light on these crimes and foster accountability, although it faced limited immediate political action. It remains an important historical record that contributed to understanding the Armenian Genocide and influenced subsequent recognition and advocacy efforts.
