GenArm Genocidio Armenio: Las condiciones que llevaron a la solución de la Cuestión Armenia

Abstract

The present aims to constitute a review of the prior’s conditions to the Genocide of 1915, starting with the theocratic character that governed the Ottoman Empire, the period of Tanzimat Reforms, the arrival of the Young Turks to power and the emergence of Turkish nationalism, and the lack of effective action by the powers of the time to protect the Christian nationalities living under the Turkish-Ottoman yoke, much less the population of Western Armenia. The analysis of these conditions, which led to the Genocide of 1915, gives us an account of the existing problems and allows us to reconstruct its constituent elements and the motivations that led to the decision of the Final Solution for the Armenian Question.
