Late Ottoman genocides

Monument in Berlin to the victims of Ottoman genocides of 1912–22. It names "Armenians", "Greeks of Asia Minor, Pontus and East Thrace" and "Aramaeans (Syriacs/Assyrian/Chaldeans)."

The late Ottoman genocides is a historiographical theory which sees the concurrent Armenian, Greek, and Assyrian genocides[1][2][3] that occurred during the 1910s–1920s as parts of a single event rather than separate events, which were initiated by the Young Turks.[2][4] Although some sources, including The Thirty-Year Genocide (2019) written by the historians Benny Morris and Dror Ze'evi, characterize this event as a genocide of Christians,[3][5][6] others such as those written by the historians Dominik J. Schaller and Jürgen Zimmerer contend that such an approach "ignores the Young Turks' massive violence against non-Christians", in particular against Muslim Kurds.[7][8][9]
