Details
ALL GENOCIDE’S COUNT Attributing names to the brutal acts humans are capable of inflicting upon each other is never without problems.
There are gradations of terror, hierarchies of atrocity and cruelty. In these, the pedants reign. Disputes splutter and rage over whether a “massacre” can best be described as a crime against humanity or a counter-measure waged with heavy sorrow against a threatening enemy. Scratch the surface of such arguments, and the truth is bleakly common: apologists for murder will be found. 
With the Armenian Genocide, terms acutely matter. The treatment of the Armenians by the Turks as the Ottoman Empire was running out of oxygen led to deportations from eastern Anatolia in May 1915 that eventually caused some 1.5 million deaths.  (The Turkish estimate is closer to 300,000.)  Suspicions abounded that the Christian Armenians were plotting with Imperial ....
