Why were the Armenians targeted for abuse by the Turks?

Many Armenians felt abused not only by Turks but also Kurds who would often take land from them. Armenian radicals, many from Russia called for a free independent state from the Turks. This led many Armenians to reject Turkish authority, sometimes refusing to pay oppressive taxes. In response there was brutal and commonplace cruelty from Turkish authorities, where hundreds of thousands of Armenians died in the 1890s. After the First Balkan War where Turkey had lost a humiliating defeat, angry Turkish sentiment towards non-Turks and Christians within their empire grew immense and this eventually leads to the Armenian Genocide

i actually have a suggestion instead of an answer, how about next time instead of spending the time to time up the question you take that time and try to figure something out for yourself, do you understand?

explanation:

leave a 5 star and a and brainliest answer if you understand, hope this betters you day, or not i don't really care either way. xd

the map that was shown mostly had eastern asia highlighted. the answer would mostly likely be "the spread of communism into eastern asia set the stage for the korean war."

hopefully this .
