Answer:

Armenian massacre was the killing of millions of Armenian people in the hand of Turks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Genocides in Armenia began from 1915 to 1918 when they forced to deportations and massacres. The reason for the deaths of Armenians was their religion. The Armenians were Christian while the Turks were Muslim. The Armenians wanted more rights in political and legal, and to pay fewer taxes, but instead, they slaughtered in villages. Despite the differences in the country, the Armenian population flourished under Ottoman control. They had better educated and became more prosperous than their Turkish neighbours, who in turn grew to resent. The Young Turks took a role in the Armenian genocide by creating a special organization which began the liquidation of the Christian (internal foes). It's estimated that about 1.5 million Armenians were dead.
