HIST 2170 - Armenian Genocide

3 cr. 3 hr. Day course offered every other year.

In 1915, Armenians, men, women, and children, were forced out of their homes in Turkey, slaughtered, and driven across the desert in a genocide that preceded the Holocaust by more than two decades. Despite the enormity of the crimes carried out against Armenians, this genocide was generally overlooked for many years. This course will examine the long and short-term causes of genocide, the implementation of genocide and the legacy of the Armenian genocide. CWT, GDC, HIST
