The Ottoman Empire was a Muslim empire. The people of Armenian were converting to Christian and caused a split. The Ottoman Empire started killing the people of Armenian.

1.5 Million people were killed.

8 What methods were used to kill?
The Armenians were forced into death marches, labor camps without food, water, or shelter. They were also disarmed and shot.

9 When was it declared a genocide?
The Turkish Government declared this event as a genocide when they realized that the Armenians were being targeted and killed in the masses. The starting date of the genocide is conventionally held to be April 24, 1915, the day when Ottoman authorities arrested some 250 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders in Constantinople.

To date, twenty different countries have officially recognized these events as a period of genocide. The United States was officially a neutral party until it joined with the Allies in 1917.

I don’t think anything could have been done to stop the genocide because the Ottoman Government targeted out the Armenians along with other minority groups for extermination.
