| Summary |
"The Treatment of Armenians in the Ottoman Empire" by Arnold Toynbee et al. is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically set during World War I. This work compiles various documents detailing the atrocities committed against Armenians during the Ottoman Empire's rule, reflecting the systematic extermination and deportation of the Armenian population. The book illustrates the severity and gravity of the situation faced by Armenians, providing a documented narrative of their suffering. The opening of the work presents an introduction by Viscount Bryce, explaining the urgent need to compile accurate accounts of the mass violence against Armenians that began in 1915. It outlines the efforts made to gather firsthand narratives from witnesses—primarily neutral observers and officials residing in or near Turkey—while highlighting the risk faced by those still in Turkey due to the government's stringent censorship. The text discusses the international response, the political motivations behind the atrocities, and how these events fit into the broader context of Turkish governance and its historical pattern of violence against minority populations.
