Turkey, Transcaucasia, Armenia and Genocide: 1914 – 1918
Summary
We will look at how Turkey successfully fought Russia in World War I on the Transcaucasian Front, thus recovering lost provinces at the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk originally taken by Russia in the Turko-Russian War of 1877–8. We shall explain how the Armenian Genocide happened and which parties are responsibility for the first major genocide of the 20th century.
