=== Young Turks === After years of decline, in 1915, Ottoman Empire was exhausted by their recent wars in the Balkans and a revolution where the [[File:Young Turks-icon.png]] [[Young Turks]] took over. The [[File:Young Turks-icon.png]] [[Young Turks]], despite being seen as forward-thinking, were guilty of terrible acts. They secretly ordered the deportation of [[File:Armenia-icon.png]] [[Armenia|Armenians]], leading to a tragic and bloody event. Hundreds of thousands were forced from their homes and sent on a harrowing journey to modern-day [[File:Syria-icon.png]] [[Syria]]. Many died from abuse, harsh weather, and starvation along the way, making it a journey of certain death for countless [[File:Armenia-icon.png]] [[Armenia|Armenians]]. The Great Powers used the tragic events, like the [[File:Armenia-icon.png]] [[Armenia|Armenian]] deportation, as powerful propaganda against the Ottoman Empire. Over time, the Ottoman Empire had declined culturally, socially, and technologically. It had once been a beacon of progressiveness, where people of various ethnicities, colors, beliefs, and religions coexisted peacefully. However, by the early 20th century, it had become the opposite. Minorities like [[File:Kurdistan-icon.png]] [[Kurdistan|Kurds]], [[File:Armenia-icon.png]] [[Armenia|Armenians]], [[File:Arab-icon.png]] [[Arab League|Arabs]], [[File:Greece-icon.png]] [[Greece|Greeks]], [[File:Serbia-icon.png]] [[Serbia|Serbians]], [[File:Israel-icon.png]] [[Jews]], and [[File:Christianity-icon.png]] [[Christianity|Christians]] were treated as second-class citizens, or even worse, compared to Turkish [[File:Islam-icon.png]] [[Islam|Muslim]] citizens. This social situation had deteriorated over the past 150 years due to an increasingly authoritarian government favoring [[File:Islam-icon.png]] [[Islam]] and oppressing minorities.
