Armenian Genocide.

The Armenian Genocide is the mass killing of the Armenian race in Turkey, the successor of the Ottoman Empire. The Armenian Genocide is the systematic destruction of the Armenian race in turkey, with massacres and deportations with forced marches, designed to kill the deportees. This happened because the Armenians and the turks where not having conflicts, but the Armenians revolted against the turks creating turmoil for years. The turks used mass burnings, drownings, poisons and gases to kill of the Armenians. While the Armenians where being deported, they where on death marches and sent to extermination camps.

I am shocked to read about this, i never even heard of this genocide. After reading about it being the first modern genocide, it puzzled me as to what a modern genocide is. A Modern Genocide is the systematic, organized way that the massacres where carried out. what bothered me the most is the mass burnings. I don't understand how you can just watch someone being burned to death, they would most likely be screaming and running around on fire. If you can sleep after witnessing thousands of people burning, there is a serious problem with you. Another astonishing thing is how they took Armenian children out on a boat, and threw them overboard to drown. It sickens me to think that anyone can just throw a kid overboard and forget about them. I don't know how anyone could kill someone, let alone destroy a race.
