Question

"Exactly a century ago, on April 24th 1915, Ottoman officials rounded up scores of Armenian intellectuals in Istanbul, most

of whom were later murdered. What followed is still bitterly contested. According to the official Turkish version, perhaps
500,000 Armenians died, some while fighting alongside invading Russians against Ottoman forces and others as a
regrettable side-effect of deportations that were understandable in the context of the times. But many scholars say that im-
1.5m Armenians died, and that their deaths were a result of a deliberate campaign to eliminate the Ottoman empire's only
sizeable Christian population. Members of the Armenian diaspora want the events recognised as genocide. What marks
genocide out from other mass killings, and why does it matter what word is used?
In 1948 the United Nations adopted a convention aimed at preventing and punishing genocide, which it defined as the
deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnical, racial, religious or national group'. Getting
agreement on the text involved compromises. Targeting victims because of their class, for example, was not classed as
genocide: Stalin would hardly have signed if it meant being held to account for his mass slaughters of 'middle peasants' and
the like."
An excerpt from "What Counts as a Genocide," By H. J., The Economist, April 24, 2015
a) Identify ONE way that the killing of Jewish people during the Holocaust fits the author's definition of genocide.
b) Explain ONE specific historical example (outside of the author's example and the example in prompt A) of an act of
genocide, based on the author's definition of genocide.
c) Explain ONE specific historical example of a mass killing that would not meet the author's definition of genocide.

Answer 1

anyone have it?

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

A.) ONE way that the killing of Jewish people during the Holocaust fits the author’s definition of genocide is the killing of jewish people fits in the category that it's a systematic destruction of a religious group.

B.)ONE specific historical example of an act of genocide, based on the author’s definition of genocide is Armenian genocide. In the Armenian genocide, at least 50% of Armenians in Turkey killed because of their race.

C.)ONE specific historical example of a mass killing that would not meet the author’s definition of genocide is, World War I. I say this because around 15 to 20 million deaths occurred, but there were not of a specific race or religion.
