The Armenian Massacres of 1915, First World War, (c1920). Creator: Unknown

The Armenian Massacres of 1915, First World War, (c1920). Map showing Armenia, and parts of Turkey, Russia and Syria: Every place marked in this map, with the exception of those included in square brackets, was the scene of deportations, or massacres, or both, between April and November 1915. (Dhimstika, Malgara, and Keshan, in Thrace, are too far west to be included, but they must be added to the list). The nine places underlined were the destinations marked out, for such of the deported Armenians as reached them, as waiting-places for death. 1.5 million Armenians, mostly citizens within the Ottoman Empire, were murdered in the systematic extermination which came to be known as the Armenian Genocide, or Armenian Holocaust. From "The Great World War - A History" Volume IV, edited by Frank A Mumby. [The Gresham Publishing Company Ltd, London, c1920]
