This document provides an overview of Armenians under Ottoman rule from 1500-1914, covering several topics:
- The Millet system established religious communities like Armenians, Greeks, Jews with internal autonomy but as subordinate to Muslims
- Armenian reorganization in 1863 established new governmental structures for the Armenian church and communities
- Growing Armenian nationalist sentiment and desire for self-rule led to revolutionary movements in the late 1800s amid Russian advances and the Tanzimat reforms weakening Ottoman control
- As the Ottoman Empire joined WWI, the Armenian genocide occurred from 1915-1923, eliminating the Ottoman Armenian population and communities.
