The way the Ottoman Empire responded to their rebellious Armenians in World War I has been falsely claimed to amount to a "genocide," for political reasons. Attacked from all sides in a fight to the death, the Ottomans dealt with their traitorous Armenian community by temporarily relocating them to distant villages, where their population was kept to ten percent or less. Because some were massacred by criminal elements, and most of the ones who died lost their lives to the same causes every Ottoman was suffering from (famine and disease), those with political interests have immorally claimed genocide while lacking the necessary evidecne for intent. What would any nation have done under the circumstances? The 1916 Irish rebellion in Great Britain was very small scale, given that relatively few Irish were involved, with most apparently appalled that there would be collusion with the enemy (Germany). By contrast, it was the rare Ottoman-Armenian who did not wholeheartedly support the collusion of their Dashnak leaders with the enemy (Russia, Britain and France). In addition, Great Britain was at the historic high point of its power, while the Ottoman Empire was at its absolute weakest. It is instructive to examine how Great Britain dealt with their WWI "Armenian Rebels," and discover whether the way the British handled the Irish was at all more forgiving or humanitarian.
