Early in the First World War. this lesson took the form of the wholesale massacre of Armenians in all parts of the Ottoman Empire. In the execution of this inhuman measure the Turks were efficient and thorough. Before the end of 1915 nearly all of the 2 million Armenians had been uprooted from their homes and about half of them had been massacred and starved to death. while most of the survivors either became refugees in nearby lands. or were serving as slaves in Turkish homes. Such was the tragic fate of the Armenians in Turkey in 1915. and today the 50th anniversary of that national tragedy is being observed in all Armenian communities throughout the world.
