Ugly History: The Armenian Genocide - Ümit Kurt

Dig into the history of the Armenian Genocide, during which the Ottoman Empire killed over 1 million Armenians during WWI. -- When an Armenian resistance movement began to form in the 19th century, Sultan Abdul Hamid II took decisive action. He led the Hamidian Massacres— a relentless campaign of violence that killed over 150,000 Armenians. These massacres were the culmination of centuries of oppression, yet they were only the beginning of an even greater tragedy. Ümit Kurt uncovers the history of the Armenian Genocide. Lesson by Ümit Kurt, directed by Héloïse Dorsan-Rachet.
