Why did the ottoman carry out this devastating attack. The ottoman empire was founded in 1453 by Osman I. The empire was once a small state until they would seize and conquer multiple areas around the state.
By the late 1600´s the small state turned into the massive empire that it is known for. Many people think that the genocide was for the best. History books have overlooked this event in history because of the ¨Judgment of the event¨.
