During World War I, Turkish nationalists took control of the Turkish government and promoted ethnic Turkish religion and culture. They argued
that the Armenians in Turkey, who were Christians, sympathized with
Christian Russia, which was on the opposite side in the war. In 1915 the Turks
introduced a systematic campaign to kill the Armenians or deport them by
making them walk to the border, a walk that few of them survived.
