From the Paper:

"In the early 20th Century, many crimes were committed against human beings that created tragic circumstances for these individuals in many different ways. In 1915, over one million Christians were killed as a result of the Ottoman Empire's desire to rid Turkey of Christianity altogether (End Genocide 1). This act of genocide was historically significant, because it signaled the end of Armenian existence as it was known at the time, which was a substantial shift in the population within that region (End Genocide 1). In many ways, the Armenian Genocide serves as a startling reminder of the power of human beings to ultimately destroy each other through acts of murder and violence, all for the sake of religious beliefs. During the early 1900s, there was a wave of violence that spread across many parts of the world, particularly in conjunction with the World Wars."
