HIST 230 - History of the Armenian Genocide

The course will discuss some of the distinctive features of the Armenian Genocide and compare it to other genocides.  Some of the topics to be reviewed include the following:  The origin of the Armenian “question”; Armenian attempts at reform and its relation to genocide; the massacres of 1894-96, 1909 and 1915-7; Great Power policies during the Genocide; humanitarian intervention and relief efforts during Genocide; gender; the experience of concentration camps during the Armenian genocide in comparison with other cases; Armenian Revolutionary Movements and resistance; victims as agents and the genocidal process; the legal process of economic plunder and confiscation of Armenian properties; the American response to Armenian Genocide in the post-genocidal period; and, finally the denial of genocide by successive Turkish governments and societies, and the question of Turkish-Armenian reconciliation.  Each case will be discussed in a comparative perspective.
