    The Armenian Genocide occurred from 1915 to 1918, during World War I, when the Ottoman Empire systematically killed over 1 million Armenians. The genocide was centrally planned and administered by the Turkish government against the entire Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire. The Young Turks political party aimed to return control of the country to the Sultan and make Turkey an Islamic theocracy, and they used the Armenians as scapegoats for the declining power and military losses of the Ottoman Empire. Today there is still tension over whether the events should be called a genocide, as Turkey's government denies using that term.
