Armenian Massacre (or Holocaust)

The war provided the pretext for a campaign of extermination against the Ottoman empire’s two million Armenians, the last major non-Muslim ethnic group under Ottoman rule seeking autonomy and eventual independence. During the Great War, the Ottoman government branded Armenians as a traitorous internal enemy, who threatened the security of the state, and then unleashed a murderous campaign against them. Forced mass evacuations, accompanied by starvation, dehydration, and exposure, led to the death of tens of thousands of Armenians. An equally deadly assault on the Armenians came by way of government-organized massacres that claimed victims through mass drowning, incineration, or assaults with blunt instruments.

Concepts

1. One of the traditional interpretations/complaints about the origins of World War II is that “if only the British and French hadn’t appeased Hitler then the whole conflict could have been avoided.” Is this theory justified? (Why or why not?) Could the war have been avoided?
