All good Rampage, the 100,000 was 10% of 1 million, so just a conservative estimate on your thoughts.
I was just pointing out decimation does not mean annihilation.
The Armenian men were killed quickly, and then the women and children were marched until they died or were shot. Many of the girls and women raped beforehand. A shocking reflection on the 'men' involved.
How do you know that.
A great uncle of mine fought against the Turks during WW1 and I remember him saying "they were animals" on the battlefield. Unimaginable horror for a young Australian from country NSW.
With all due respect to you and your great uncle, who was invading who, I don't recall Turks invading Australia. The powers to be in England wanted trouble in the middle East and your great uncle was being used.
The British were creating trouble in the Middle East well before 1914.
British Millitary Intelegence Officer T E Lawrence
1907 Oxford University where T E Lawrence came under the influence of David George Hogarth a major player in the murky world of British Millitary Intelegence.
1909 T E Lawrence first went to the Middle East.
My money is on, T E Lawrence was a spy and later on an insurgent whose job was to upset the locals and provoke a rebellion, a tactic which is still used to this day, Iraq, Libya, Syria.
Here is an interesting film which mentions Lawrence's first connections with British Military Intelligence.
