How long did the Armenian Genocide last?

The Armenian Genocide is widely recognized as one of the most tragic events in human history. It began in 1915 and lasted until 1923, during the final years of the Ottoman Empire.

The genocide was a deliberate and systematic campaign to eliminate the Armenian population, which was viewed as a threat by the Ottoman government.

Over the course of the genocide, hundreds of thousands of Armenians were killed, and many others were subjected to forced labour, forced marches, and other forms of abuse.

The most intense phase of the Armenian Genocide took place from 1915 to 1916. During this time, the Ottoman government forcibly deported and massacred hundreds of thousands of Armenians.

Men, women, and children were rounded up and forced to march long distances without food or water. Many died from starvation, dehydration, and exhaustion. Others were shot, stabbed, or beaten to death by Ottoman soldiers and their allies.

The genocide officially ended in 1923 with the establishment of the modern Turkish Republic, which succeeded the Ottoman Empire. However, the legacy of the genocide continues to be felt by the Armenian community and their descendants to this day
