Britannica stated,  “Greeks and Armenians were disinclined to accept Muslim Ottoman rule.” Britannica basically means  the Ottoman Empire forced Greeks and Armenians to fully listen to Muslim rule.
The Borgen Project has stated, "The indigenous Greek people were seen as a threat to the Ottoman Empire before and during World War I. The Ottoman Empire feared that the Christian Greek population would attempt to aid the Empire’s enemies during the war, causing its defeat. Additionally, the Empire believed the Christian Greeks were tainting the population and would ruin the integrity of the current Muslim-majority nation-state." The Empire thought the Greeks were going to help the Allied Forces.
The Borgen project added, "The Ottoman Empire began to target the indigenous Greek population in order to accomplish its goal of full Turkification.” The Greeks were massacred because they were not the nationality now known as Turkey.]]> 2021-01-26 03:18:33 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriella_sullivan/pvmkwt5mbp1xip3r/wish/1124884130 gabriella_sullivan https://padlet.com/gabriella_sullivan/pvmkwt5mbp1xip3r/wish/1128315568 2021-01-26 18:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriella_sullivan/pvmkwt5mbp1xip3r/wish/1128315568 gabriella_sullivan https://padlet.com/gabriella_sullivan/pvmkwt5mbp1xip3r/wish/1128346595 2021-01-26 18:34:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriella_sullivan/pvmkwt5mbp1xip3r/wish/1128346595 dessert 1 gabriella_sullivan https://padlet.com/gabriella_sullivan/pvmkwt5mbp1xip3r/wish/1129586619 2021-01-27 01:41:05 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriella_sullivan/pvmkwt5mbp1xip3r/wish/1129586619 What methods did Ottoman Empire use in this genocide? gabriella_sullivan https://padlet.com/gabriella_sullivan/pvmkwt5mbp1xip3r/wish/1129622109 The Ottoman Empire used various methods to carry out the Pontain Greek genocide.
According to ABC Clio, "In Greece, they took male children to work for the dynastic family and young girls to work in the sultan's harem.” They used young children to be household servants.
The Borgen Project had also brought up, “The Greek inhabitants of the western coastline of Asia Minor were sent to Muslim villages, where they had to either convert to Islam or be killed. The rest of the Christian Greek population was sent to the interior lands, where they would be exposed to harsh winter weather, starvation and illness.” While some Christian Greeks had to change religions or die, others had to work in concentration camps.
According to greekgenocide.net, “The first phase of the Greek Genocide commenced in 1914 in Eastern Thrace where entire Greek communities were forcibly and often violently expelled from the country or deported to the interior of Asia Minor.” The genocide started with Greeks being forced to leave their homes.]]> 2021-01-27 02:02:32 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriella_sullivan/pvmkwt5mbp1xip3r/wish/1129622109 dessert 2 gabriella_sullivan https://padlet.com/gabriella_sullivan/pvmkwt5mbp1xip3r/wish/1129665612 2021-01-27 02:28:57 UTC https://padlet.com/gabriella_sullivan/pvmkwt5mbp1xip3r/wish/1129665612 America's Response gabriella_sullivan https://padlet.com/gabriella_sullivan/pvmkwt5mbp1xip3r/wish/1129676393 Although not many countries even knew the Pontain Greek Genocide was going on.
