Between 1301 and 1922, the region north of present-day Syria was known as the Ottoman Empire. It was rooted in the belief that Islam as an ideology should be in power. A territory owned by the Ottoman Empire was their homeland, Turkey. In 1907, Sultan Abdul Hamid II, wanted most educated people outside the country to be limited in what they could do, otherwise they would be erased, as he thought they were the cause of the destruction of his land. difficult situation and decline. This made him very unpopular among his people, so much so that many secret societies were created practically under his nose. The most important is The Young Turks. The Young Turks, a group of young military officers who wanted to prevent their country's decline from continuing, wanted to improve the general conditions of some of the people of the Ottoman Empire. Not only was anyone who was not Muslim treated as a second-class citizen, but they were also required by law to pay more taxes than a Muslim civilian. Realizing this, between 1890 and the early 1900s, an organization called The Young Turks arose, pushing for political reforms requiring the right to vote, constitutional government, and an end to discriminatory practices such as the aforementioned tax increases . Ultimately, the Young Turks staged a successful coup in an attempt to change the government to a constitutional monarchy. This, however, had some unforeseen consequences. The men at the forefront of the Young Turk rebellion were Mehmed Talaat, Ismail Enver and Ahmed Djemal. Eventually, they came to have a kind of dictatorial rule over their people, with their own visions of what they wanted for the Turkish people. They all wanted to unite their people and expand... middle of paper... Talaat responded to the problem by sending coded messages to all the governors of the Turkish provinces to bury the bodies. Of course, they didn't listen and allowed the bodies to continue to rot, as the people involved in the mass murders weren't that interested in stopping during their marches and mass killings to dig up the graves of their victims. In short, most of Türkiye's allies did nothing about the ordeal at the end. Basically trashing the entire event. In the end, the already small and fragile Armenian republic received no support from the allies as a whole and collapsed in on itself. As for the Turks, successfully annihilating the vast majority of the Armenian people, they destroyed many priceless masterpieces, libraries and churches that had belonged to the Armenians. In Türkiye it is illegal to even mention the topic of the Armenian genocide.
