 * What World War I gave us: **
 * Flamethrowers
 * Steel helmets
 * Aicraft carriers
 * Gas masks
 * Guide dogs
 * Blood banks

We would have to be in severe danger and in need of help in the army, otherwise I probably don't look foward to joining the army. It also depends on the situation for girls to be in warfare, I think its only exception is if we were in need of soldiers, and or we were being attacked by a higher level of army. Family, money, or if anything happened to america such as an invasion.
 * What would it take to make you enlist in a war?**
 * "Today has been far too exciting to enable me to feel at all like sleep in fact it is one of the most thrilling I have ever lived through, though without doubt there are many more to come. That which has been so long anticipated by some and scoffed at by others has come to pass at last..."**

 * 1. Treatment of the Armenians before the massacre **

The Armenians were considered to be a different race from the Turks because they believed in Christianity, while the Turks were Islamic. The Armenians lived in segregated, poor, and dangerous areas. They were taxed heavily by the Turkish and sometimes even kidnapped by them in order to force them to convert to Islam.


 * 2. Reasons for the Treatment: **

The reason the Turkish treated the Armenians so unfairly was because they believed in Christianity and not Islam. The Armenians were gaining political power, taking jobs away from businesses, and in the end they had large amount of money in their possession.


 * 3. Hamidian Massacres **

The Ottoman Empire was ruled by Sultan Abdul-Hamid II, who was entitled to spread the word of the Kuran. The massacre took the life of 100,000 to 300,000 Armenians, and burned down many of their marketplaces and businesses.


 * 4. Listen to and reflect on "The Armenian Massacre Song" **

The lyrics for this song is very powerful in term of conveying the feelings of many Armenians who experienced the Armenians Genocide. The song clearly states that they will never forget what happen, and will avenge their friends and family someday.

 * In a paragraph summarize what you learned about the treatment of Armenians during this time period **

The treatment of Armenians during this time period was harsh, cruel, and unbelievable. The women were tortured and sometimes sexually abused, while some were forced to marry Turkish men and become their slaves bride. Lastly, the children were kidnapped and were forced to convert to Islam. Many of them later became orphans, and spend the rest of their life on the streets where most would later die of starvation.

 * 1. Armenia after the genocide **

Before 1917, 1.5 million Armenians were deported Ottoman Empire and the genocide had ended. By that time, over 600,000 Armenians were killed. The Turkish were more interested in the on going World War I, the united States did not believe in genocide.


 * 2. Turkey's response **

They denied the fact that it ever occurred because they feared the Allied would retaliate if they found out that the Turks were massacring Christians by the thousands. The officers destroyed all the evidence that Armenians had about the genocide such as monuments, records, and buildings.


 * 3. World's response **

The World's response was mixed. The goal of many Armenians was to persuade the world that this genocide really happened. The Turks had paid a reparation in terms of money or government.
