Similarities:

Both occurred during the same time frame (1914–1918).

Both involved mass casualties and significant suffering.

Nationalism played a major role in fueling actions (Ottoman Turks against Armenians; European powers in WWI).

Differences:

WWI was a global conflict between nations, while the Armenian Genocide was a targeted extermination of an ethnic group within the Ottoman Empire.

The genocide focused on civilians (Armenians), while WWI primarily involved soldiers in battle.

WWI was driven by territorial disputes and alliances; the genocide was motivated by ethnic and religious intolerance.

The Armenian Genocide is not considered a “just war” because it targeted civilians and aimed to eliminate an ethnic group, rather than engaging in traditional military conflict. There was no justification for the mass killing of Armenians, who were largely defenseless and not an active threat. Most historians and international bodies view the genocide as a violation of human rights and an act of ethnic cleansing, not a justified military action.

The long-term effects of the Armenian Genocide included:

- Global Armenian Diaspora: Large Armenian communities formed worldwide as survivors fled, especially in the U.S., France, Russia, and the Middle East.

- Cultural Loss: Armenian cultural heritage in Turkey, including churches and schools, was largely destroyed or repurposed.

- Strained Turkish-Armenian Relations: Turkey has refused to recognize the events as genocide, causing lasting tension with Armenia and Armenian communities worldwide.

- Legal and Human Rights Impact: The genocide influenced international human rights law, contributing to the concept and legal definition of genocide by Raphael Lemkin in the 1940s.
