During World War I, the Armenian population of the Ottoman Empire was targeted in what is widely recognized as the Armenian Genocide. Between 1915 and 1923, an estimated 1.5 million Armenians were systematically exterminated through mass killings, forced deportations, and death marches. This atrocity has been acknowledged by many historians and countries, though it remains a contentious issue in international relations, particularly with Turkey, which disputes the characterization of these events as genocide.
