Armenian Genocide Armenian Genocide Go to Master Index of Warfare GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE THE TURKISH GENOCIDE HDT WHAT? INDEX ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE “Denial is an integral part of atrocity, and it’s a natural part after a society has committed genocide. First you kill, and then the memory of killing is killed.” — Iris Chang, author of THE RAPE OF NANKING (1997), when the Japanese translation of her work was canceled by Basic Books due to threats from Japan, on May 20, 1999. “Historical amnesia has always been with us: we just keep forgetting we have it.” — Russell Shorto HDT WHAT? INDEX ARMENIAN GENOCIDE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE GO TO MASTER INDEX OF WARFARE 1825 Ever since the 14th Century, Turkey had been impressing the sons of Christian families into a special yeni chéri or “new army” branch of its armed forces. The size of this special religiously and ethnically segregated brigade of “janissaries” had reached 135,000, and it had become politically powerful, and it had become obnoxious to Muslims. The Sultan therefore had his faithful Muslim officers surround this Christian brigade with Muslim formations of overwhelming size, and after a brief struggle all 135,000 were slaughtered.1 1. The same sort of thing would happen at the conclusion of the Iran/Iraq war in our contemporary era. Iran had placed liberal secular young men in a special formation, and had placed this special formation in charge of a given sector of the frontier for the duration of the long war against Iraq. But at the end of the war, faced with the specter of having to reincorporate these liberal secular men into the Khomeini revolution, the religious leadership decided to trick them, disarm them, charge them with treason for not having behaved with sufficient martyr spirit (that is, basically, the treason of still being alive at the end of the war), and machine-gun them right there in the positions they had defended for nine years on the Iraqi border. But this only involved a slaughter of some 10,000, order of magnitude, not 135,000, and when the matter was reported in the Western press, it sank without a bubble because, of course — these men had no Western constituency. HDT WHAT?

(Even an intercontinental exchange of nuclear warheads would need longer than this!) At 3:30AM after lengthy negotiations with European embassies, Armenian radicals occupying the Ottoman Bank in Constantinople were dispatched toward safety in France (this would be used as a pretext for 3 days of Muslim mayhem and slaughter, in which 6,000 Armenians would be killed in the district of the city in which the Armenian citizens had their homes).

  • The American Protestant Missionary Network in Ottoman Turkey, 1876-1914
    International Journal of Humanities and Social Science Vol. 4, No. 6(1); April 2014 The American Protestant Missionary Network in Ottoman Turkey, 1876-1914 Devrim Ümit PhD Assistant Professor Founding and Former Chair Department of International Relations Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Karabuk University Turkey Abstract American missionaries have long been the missing link in the study of the late Ottoman period despite the fact that they left their permanent trade in American as well as Western conceptions of the period such as “Terrible Turk” and “Red Sultan” just to name a few. From the landing of the first two American Protestant missionaries, Levi Parsons and Pliny Fisk, on the Ottoman Empire, as a matter of fact on the Near East, in early 1820, until the outbreak of the First World War in 1914, American missionaries occupied the increasing attention of the Ottoman bureaucracy in domestic and foreign affairs while the mission work in the Ottoman Empire established the largest investment of the American Board of Commissionaries for Foreign Missions (A.B.C.F.M.) in the world, even above China and India, on the eve of the war. The bulk of the correspondence of the Ottoman Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the period was with the United States and this was chiefly concerned about the American mission schools. Therefore, this paper seeks to examine the encounter between the Ottoman officialdom and the American Protestant missionaries in Ottoman Turkey during the successive regimes of Sultan Abdülhamid II and the Committee of Union and Progress, the Unionists in the period of 1876-1914.

The present book has been written to meet this need, and, in spite of its shortness, I hope that it gives a clear outline of the military operations which led to the occupation of the whole of Germany's Colonial Empire. I have spared no pains to ensure the accuracy of the facts, and in the maps I have attempted to supplement and sum up the narrative by tracing the main lines of the various columns. The material I have used includes almost every book that has so far appeared ; but the groundwork was furnished by the official dispatches.

The same is the state of the Pitch pines. At the Cliffs I find the wasps prolonging their short lives on the sunny rocks just as they endeavored to do at my house in the woods.
