Why did the Armenians come to America?

Armenians came to America primarily to escape persecution and economic hardship in their homeland, particularly during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The Armenian Genocide during World War I further accelerated this migration, as many sought refuge from violence and oppression. Additionally, the promise of better economic opportunities and the chance for a more stable life attracted many Armenians to the United States. Over time, they established vibrant communities, contributing significantly to American society.
